Canine Academy & Co is a dog training space where we bring the best out of your dog. Calm, confident, thinking dogs that can enjoy freedom and their life with you. If you are looking for a professional and qualified Behaviourist to not only consult with you but also get hands on with training your dog, send through a message and we will get started.
Our training is based on core foundation skills, as well as tailored to suit each dog and owner. Building dogs confidence and positively reinforcing behaviours we want with play is a key part of our programs.
From general manners to leash skills and walking, to reactivity, over arousal and serious aggression cases, we will assess all cases no matter the breed or behaviour.
The work we do, is backed by scientific principles as well as practical real life experience and complements the home environment, so that you can enjoy your life with your dog.
We are based in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty and consult outside the area. Online services including Consultations are also available.
We build more than just obedience. We build relationships, understanding and communication. This is the way to gain control when you really need it.
Day Stay & Train
This is a structured training service - not your typical "doggy daycare" and more than "just a walk". We work on all types of problem behaviours from over arousal and general obedience issues, to reactivity and aggression.
Each dog is handled and managed according to their needs and trained specifically depending on their specific issues. All dogs are crated individually during transport.
After morning pickup, we travel to various urban and rural locations for training. Sites are selected carefully depending on the behavioural needs of the dogs on board that day.
This is a minimum 3 hour session, and each dog is worked individually and/or paired with appropriate combinations of dogs when and if required. Dogs learn both to work with and focus on their handler, and learn to have patience while waiting their turn.
This program is intended as a short to medium term service, rather than an ongoing long term solution to managing your dogs issues - we are looking for progression in your dogs behaviour, and to implement long lasting training results, that will shift your from a state of struggle to a place of progression and control. This is designed to complement your own in-home training and management techniques, and help you see that progression and improvement in your dogs behaviour that you really need to move forward.
Clients can potentially start to see progress within 4 - 8 weeks, but all results are individual and depend not only on the severity of the behaviours we are dealing with, but also the temperament of the individual dog, the training happening in the home environment, as well as the home environment itself - all of this is explained prior to commencement as well as throughout the process.
Booking additional Owner Coaching Sessions is essential, and highly recommended, to enable fully transferring techniques and understanding over to you the owner as progression is made.
