Ian The Dog Trainer

Ian The Dog Trainer is a Melbourne-based, full-time professional dog trainer and canine behavioural consultant with more than 20 years’ experience, offering practical, hands-on help for dogs and their families. He provides in-home private training throughout Melbourne Metro and the Mornington Peninsula, tailoring each program to the dog’s temperament and the household’s goals. The approach emphasises humane, positive reinforcement techniques and teaches owners how to train and manage their dogs so better behaviour lasts long-term. Typical work includes obedience training, puppy socialisation (early weeks), behavioural modification for issues such as aggression and separation anxiety, and one-on-one behavioural consultations and advice. Sessions encourage whole-family involvement — including children where appropriate — so everyone learns consistent handling and commands. The service aims to prevent and resolve problem behaviours while improving the dog’s integration into family life, and the business promotes a strong local reputation for effective, personalised training solutions.
