Sankiri Dog Training

Sankiri Dog Training is a compassionate, behavior-focused dog training service based in Warragul, Victoria, dedicated to helping owners manage and improve challenging behaviors. Led by founder and senior trainer Lorraine McLennan, Sankiri works with dogs of all ages and sizes — including rescue dogs and large breeds — offering practical, real-life skills to transform reactive, anxious, or aggressive dogs into calmer, more confident pets. Services include in-home training, group classes, puppy training, one-on-one support and specialized programs for reactive and anxious dogs, with an emphasis on owner education so families learn to manage situations themselves. Sankiri highlights an inclusive philosophy and uses experienced training dogs (Marlu and Kaluka) to demonstrate techniques for settling and positive behavior change. The business serves the South Eastern and Eastern suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula, provides support seven days a week, and is an accredited member of the Australian Association of Professional Dog Trainers (AAPDT). With a strong community focus and a high customer satisfaction rating (4.8 stars from 99 reviews), Sankiri stands out for tailoring solutions to each dog’s needs, prioritizing patience, consistency and empowering owners with clear guidance and ongoing support.
