Diona The Trainer is a compassionate, relationship-focused dog training service run by Diona, who brings over 14 years of experience and has been operating the business since 2015. The approach centres on building connection, trust and calm communication to help dogs and their owners learn together, with practical techniques aimed at lasting behavioural change. Services are tailored to each family and available both in-person around Melbourne (Docklands/Newport) and virtually for clients further away; home visits are available with a call-out fee and additional dogs can be included for a fee. Private 90-minute one-on-one sessions focus on personalised behaviour modification, while puppy owners can access a comprehensive 9-week self-paced program that prepares owners before their puppy arrives and supports those first critical weeks with step-by-step guidance, video-call check-ins and weekly socialisation tasks. There is also an online puppy program for owners who prefer to learn at their own pace, plus targeted behaviour and socialisation support for reactivity, anxiety and aggression. Diona offers mentoring for ongoing support, dedicated breeder education and breeder partnership support to help with stress-free puppy transitions, and an online shop supplying training tools and resources. Overall, the service is warm, practical and focused on empowering owners to build calm, trusting relationships with their dogs.
