Private Dog Training

Customised Dog Behaviour Training in Melbourne

Best Dog Trainer in Melbourne for Behaviour Modification

Many clients come to me after they have tried various dog training methods and worked with multiple dog trainers and dog behaviourists to address their dog's persistent behavioural problems, without success of even attaining an understanding of the root causes of the behaviours. 

That is where I come in. 

Tailored dog behaviour training in Melbourne
Effective private dog training in Melbourne
"I have been to a couple of other dog trainers in the past, but Diona's methods have been the most effective by far with my two dogs. I love how she teaches with the philosophy of teaching your dog to make good decisions - rather than training your dog to obey commands with treats."

Celeste Dennis

As a dog behaviour specialist , I recognise that each human-dog relationship is unique. One-on-one private dog training sessions allow me to work closely with you, assessing your dog's individual qualities, interests and behaviours to create a customised training plan that suits your specific situation. 

​

My goal is to provide the best private dog training by tailoring my approach to each dog's unique needs, ensuring effective and lasting results. 

​

Whether you need in-home dog training or specialised behavioural modification, I am dedicated to helping you bring out the best version of your dog, reduce frustration, and form a lasting bond.

Group Consultation in Melbourne

Introducing our new Breed Buddies Consultation option, designed for households with dogs of the same breed and facing similar challenges.

 

This affordable alternative allows you to join forces with 1-2 other households for a collaborative training session. Each session is tailored to address breed-specific behaviours, with one dog selected for live demonstrations, ensuring all dogs benefit from personalised guidance.

 

Held in Docklands on Saturdays, this group format offers the same gold-standard service as our one-on-one sessions, making expert dog training more accessible.

 

Connect with fellow owners and let’s bring out the best in your dogs together.

Private Puppy Training

For puppies under 12 weeks of age, I encourage owners to enrol in my Online Puppy Training Program, which includes 9 weeks of personalised support. If your puppy is over 12 weeks old and starting to exhibit 'teenager' behaviours, it’s crucial to address these issues early. Contact me to discuss whether my Online Training Program or Private In-Person Puppy Training would be more suitable for your situation.
