Gift dog training
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. Four ways to give them the start they didn't know they needed.
For someone who's been struggling
$10 AUD
Selective Hearing by Diona. Eight chapters, the reframe that comes before any training. Sent to your recipient as a designed PDF with your personal note in the email.
For the friend who wants to do the work
$25 AUD
Selective Hearing plus The Waterline Workbook. The reframe and the seven-day reading practice that turns it into something they can actually do. Both PDFs, sent together.
For a contribution toward real work
$200 AUD
A part-payment voucher the recipient can apply to either the Online Puppy Program ($440, they pay the $240 balance) or a first private session ($400, they pay the $200 balance).
For the full thing
$400 AUD
Covers the full Online Puppy Program as a $440 gift (you pay $400, they save the difference), or a full first private session ($400). No balance owed by the recipient.

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. The gift is the easier door.
Yes. There's a note field at Stripe checkout. Whatever you write goes into the email I send the recipient, attributed to you.
Three years from purchase, per Australian gift card law. The recipient can take their time.
Yes. The voucher applies to either. They decide what fits their dog when they redeem.
Vouchers are valid for online sessions and the online puppy program. Both work from anywhere in the world.
PDF gifts (the $10 guide and $25 bundle) are delivered to the recipient within minutes and are non-refundable. Vouchers ($200 and $400) are refundable until the recipient redeems them, minus a 10% administration fee that covers Stripe processing and handling. Email happydogs@dionathetrainer.com with your order details and I'll process within 5 business days. Exceptions on PDF gifts are made on a case-by-case basis if the gift genuinely didn't fit.
Hi, I'm Diona. Melbourne-based, fifteen years across zoo, wildlife, and private dog training. My methodology is built on reading dogs first and commanding second, and most of my clients arrive after two or three other trainers haven't quite cracked it.
If you're gifting on behalf of someone who's been struggling, you're giving them more than a PDF or a voucher. You're giving them a way out of feeling alone with a dog that won't behave.
