CANDID DOG TRAINING

Dog Training That Makes Sense.
Built on Understanding, Not Just Behaviour.

Clear principles. Adaptable teaching. No fluff.

All training begins with Training Foundations, the starting point for puppies, reactive dogs, and everyday obedience alike.

Candid Dog Training works with dogs across a range of needs, using the same clear, structured process.

Reactive Dogs
Support for fear, frustration, aggression, and overstimulation, focused on emotional regulation, safety, and owner capability.

Puppy Training
Early structure and guidance to support confidence, settling, and healthy development from the start.

Obedience & Life Skills
Functional, real-world skills that improve reliability, handling, and everyday life with your dog.

Each pathway begins the same way. Building the foundations required for learning.

WHAT I HELP WITH

HOW TRAINING WORKS

  • Assessment

    Training begins with an in-depth assessment to understand your dog, your goals, and what approach is appropriate.

  • Training Foundations

    A structured 6-week program that builds motivation, communication, management, and handling skills.

  • Progression

    Once foundations are in place, dogs may progress into obedience skills, classes, or further support as appropriate.

This approach:

  • reduces frustration
