DogzWalkabout Training

If you’ve just brought home a puppy or are struggling with an adult dog’s behaviour, Dogz Walkabout Training offers practical, personalised support to help both dog and owner feel more confident. Based in Melbourne, they focus on early development and positive behaviour management through one-on-one sessions, ongoing phone and email support, and tailored programs. Their Backyard Puppy School is designed for puppies aged 8–16 weeks and includes three weekly one-on-one sessions, support materials, and post-training follow-up covering toilet training, socialisation, obedience basics and calming techniques. For dogs with specific challenges, they provide customised behavioural consultations to tackle issues such as reactivity, separation anxiety, barking, inappropriate toileting, jumping, over-excitement, aggression and resource guarding. Initial behavioural consultations are listed at $240 with follow-ups at $120. They also run practical training walks that teach owners reliable heel work and relaxed, loose-lead walking — a hands-on way to improve walk quality and owner skills, with training walks priced at $140. Overall, their approach combines education, ongoing support and tailored sessions so owners learn the skills to manage and improve their dog’s behaviour while helping dogs become happier and better adjusted companions.
