Tom’s Dog Training

Tom's Dog Training is a Melbourne-based, professional dog training service led by Tom that focuses on practical, humane training tailored to each dog's temperament and breed. With over a decade of experience and having trained thousands of dogs and puppies nationally and internationally, Tom emphasizes personalized plans that consider a dog’s drives, motivations and individual character. Most training occurs in the dog’s natural environment — primarily in and around the client’s home — so skills are realistic and transferable to everyday life. Key offerings include puppy training for the first six months (toilet training, bite inhibition, managing chewing and jumping, socialization and establishing routines), dog training to address common behavioral issues (leash pulling, jumping, destructive behaviour, barking, boundary-setting and separation anxiety), and breed selection consultations to help prospective owners choose a compatible breed. The approach stresses early intervention during critical developmental windows and practical, owner-focused coaching so families can maintain progress long-term. Services are available across all Melbourne suburbs, with a clear emphasis on bespoke solutions to help dogs become confident, secure and well-mannered members of the household.
