The Dog Training Co

The Dog Training Co is a Melbourne-based dog training and behaviour consultancy that helps owners build confident, well-mannered dogs through practical, positive methods. They offer a range of options to suit different needs and lifestyles, from in‑home private sessions for common issues like pulling, barking and poor recall, to specialist puppy lessons focused on socialisation, toilet training and settling. Group classes provide a high-distraction, real‑world environment for owners to practise skills, while a full-day Day Training Program gives an intensive option combining training, socialisation and enrichment for busy owners. Walk & Train and regular dog walking services are available to combine exercise with obedience practice. The team emphasises a holistic approach — considering routines, diet, sleep and enrichment — and bases training on positive reinforcement and motivational techniques with customised plans for each dog. Founder Jennifer brings experience from The Guide Dogs Puppy Nursery, and the business highlights certified professional trainers, ongoing support and a focus on making training enjoyable for both dogs and owners, aiming to foster trust, confidence and lasting good behaviour.
