PRIVATE TRAINING

You need help with your dog? Be in touch today!

Our goal is to make your life with your dog/s pleasant and enjoyable for humans and canines. Sometimes certain behaviours stand in the way of this and we want to help you address that.

We offer a dog training approach that works and can be applied by the whole family. No yelling or intimidation needed, no more frustration: just a calm and peaceful relationship with a dog that is happy to work with their humans.

We help you put in place clear rules and boundaries and give you a consistent, easy strategy to enforce them.

We offer lots of hands-on advice in our training and through us sending out professional videos, photos and summaries you can share your new knowledge with all the people involved in the dog’s life.

We understand how important your dog is to your family and how unique every dog and family is. We conduct a thorough assessment and provide you with tailored plans for your individual situation and we are there for you to answer any questions that may arise.

Please note that we don't call ourselves Dog Behaviourist Christchurch because we strongly believe this word should be protected for practitioners that have behaviour degrees. We do however work with behavioural cases, do behaviour consults and trainings and are happy to get a veterinary behaviourist on board if need be.


Lisa has been absolutely invaluable in helping me with my dog Ted. At first I felt really overwhelmed and unsure about how I should approach any training, but Lisa made the whole process easy to understand and implement.
