For the friend with a new puppy. For the colleague at their wits' end. For the family member who keeps apologising for the dog at the door. For the friend taking their dog overseas. For the owner of a teenage dog who's lost the plot. Eight ways to help, from $10.

$49 AUD

Gift Flight-Ready

Flight-Ready by Diona. The training a dog needs before an international move: the crate, toileting on concrete, the new city and the first week landed. Ten chapters, about forty minutes to read, then the fill-in tools at the back do the work. Best given the week the move is confirmed.

For the dog that never settles

$49 AUD

Gift Teach Your Dog to Switch Off

My self-paced course for the dog that paces, whines and won't settle. A proper rest spot, the one rule that makes settling stick, and a settle on cue anywhere. Four modules with real demo clips, about a weekend's work.

  • ✓ The full course, the same as the course page

For the owner of a teenage dog

Gift The Teenage Dog

For the seven to eighteen month dog whose puppy training stopped working. Why bribes stop at adolescence, a privilege audit of the house, the week a teenager needs, and the lead. Five modules and four printable downloads.

How it works

1

You buy

Pay via Stripe and tell me who it's for. Name, email, and a personal note if you want to include one.

2

They receive the gift

Within 24 hours I send them an email with the PDF(s), voucher code or course login, including your note. They'll know it came from you.

3

They use it

PDFs: open and read. Courses: log in and start. Vouchers: book with me at [email protected] and quote the code. Done.

Who it suits

A friend who just brought home a puppy and is already overwhelmed.

A sibling whose dog is reactive on walks and they've stopped going.

A colleague who works from home and the dog is unsettling every Zoom call.

A parent who's frustrated with the family dog and starting to resent it.

Someone you love who's been talking about their dog the same way for months. They might not be ready to ask for help. A gift is easier to say yes to.

Questions people ask

Can I include a personal note?

Yes. There's a note field at Stripe checkout. Whatever you write goes into the email I send the recipient, attributed to you.

How long is the voucher valid?

Three years from purchase, per Australian gift card law. The recipient can take their time.

Can the recipient choose between the puppy program and a private session?

Yes. The voucher applies to either. They decide what fits their dog when they redeem.

What if the recipient lives overseas?

Vouchers can be used for a first consultation, in person or online, or for the Online Puppy Program. Both work from anywhere in the world.

Can I get a refund?

PDF gifts (the $10 guide, the $25 bundle and the $49 Flight-Ready guide) are delivered to the recipient within 24 hours and are non-refundable, and so are course gifts once the recipient is enrolled. Vouchers ($200 and $450) are refundable in full until the recipient redeems them. Email [email protected] with your order details and I'll process within 5 business days.

About the gift-giver here

Hi, I'm Diona. Melbourne-based, fifteen years across zoo, wildlife, and private dog training. I have a Veterinary Science degree and a Master's in Early Childhood Education. I teach owners to read the dog first, and most of my clients arrive after two or three other trainers.

If you're gifting on behalf of someone who's been struggling, they have probably stopped asking for help. This puts it in front of them without the awkward conversation.
