Urban Dog Training

What a great experience for you and your dog. Reward positive based training easy to follow with experience enthusiastic teachers. This is a must for all puppy and dog owners.

If you can actually get a response to an email / contact, and get into a class they’re fine. We’ve had 3 unanswered emails and we’re a returning customer! Or we were … if they can’t be bothered responding then we’ll look elsewhere. Unfortunately we only attended the first session of our third course and due to a health issue we couldn’t go week two. We asked if we could restart next course - nothing. Asked again - nothing. I ended up contacting a little more sternly - nothing. Other reviews about male trainer are correct, abrupt and basically criticised other owners not in the class, the female trainers are excellent (but do try and tell you how good they are). We learnt enough to be happy broadly with the training, service not so much. Would go elsewhere next time due to poor service and risk of getting male trainer.

There are no words to describe how Danielle and Paul (+ all the other lovely staff members) have helped me understand my dog and what an unbreakable bond this understanding has formed. She is now (4 years old) one of the most beloved, well-behaved and funny dogs around, always welcome everywhere, a pure joy and easy to take care off. It is such a great value to my life to not only have a pet but also this connection to her and to be able to fully trust that she will listen when I need her to. This trust has formed the best outcome for both our lives: I can take her places and relax and she has the greatest gift all beings should have - freedom.So if you are looking for a dog school that teaches you how to live with a dog and create mutual benefit for both lives (instead of just owning or commanding) - this is the place to go.It will take some effort for a few months but what you get out is well worth the input!

Just when you think your daughter's dog is untrainable you get to see a miracle transformation. I learnt a lot from naughty corner to not hugging him, but I can't help it. He is nanna's boy.Very good trainer and awesome training program. Love it ❤

We have our Happy Dog back again thanks to the Urban Dog Team!!! Thank you so much to the team at Urban Dog Training for helping us with our boy’s separation anxiety issues. We moved from a house to our apartment a couple of months ago and our boy Bruno (aged 8 months at the time) would not settle at all!! He was constantly barking when we left him alone (6 hours of continuous barking!). He was even stressed when me and my partner where in the apartment with him. If one of us left, he would cry at the door. We had attended Puppy School, Basics and Clicks and Tricks with our boy Bruno at Urban Dog and had learned there that these types of issues tend to not get better on their own and can get worse very quickly without the right help, so we contacted the Urban Dog Team ASAP and explained the situation. Danielle recommended a private consultation. Danielle and Paul came out and assessed Bruno we did a few different exercises and Danielle made an assessment. Danielle and Paul left us with A LOT of information and new house rules for us to put in place for Bruno to help with his anxiety issues. I felt like Danielle and Paul actually cared about Bruno getting better and it did not seem like it was just a job for them, they genuinely wanted to help Bruno get back to being not just settled on his own, but happy on his own. Danielle and Paul kept in touch over the next couple of weeks to ensure everything was going well and they came out a couple of times more to see Bruno’s progress and give us more tools and information on how to continue getting Bruno back to being happy on his own. It was a very stressful time for me and my partner, but Danielle and Paul made it so much easier, especially reaching out and keeping in touch to make sure everything was still going well. Around 6 weeks later it seemed like everything we had done was finally paying off and Bruno could be left completely alone, he wasn’t just alone and not barking he was alone and playing with his toys himself, doing his puzzles, eating, and sleeping in his crate. He wasn’t even sitting at the door sad anymore. Its been 2 months now and Bruno doesn’t care about me leaving, When I am leaving the house in the mornings he is already under the bed asleep or in his crate when pick my keys up and put my shoes on he doesn’t even budge. He is getting better and better and other aspects of his training and behaviours are improving as well. It’s a massive difference to how he was a few months ago. We are still working with the Urban Dog Team and have enrolled in Recall class. Bruno still has a long way to go with some other training, but I am confident we will get there when we follow exactly what the trainers say to do. Every time we follow the advice and stick to it, it WORKS…even if it takes a bit of time. We are so happy to have Bruno settled and will be forever grateful to Danielle and Paul and Narelle for all their help and advice. They do really care about the dogs they train which I think makes such a difference! Thanks so Much for your help, from Bruno, Alison and Sean.

We were very happy with each and every class we have taken with Urban Dog Training! Paul helped us tremendously to work with our dog and his specific needs. The puppy class was a million times better than the other we had signed up for with a different dog trainer, can't recommend them enough!

Great tips and knowledge, no tact or facilitation skills. My husband is on the Autism spectrum and while taking our dog to the play group, he accidentally used the wrong word to describe our beloved fur child’s situation. Something common for adults on the Autism Spectrum, I jumped in gently to point out my husband had used the wrong word, which would have clarified the matter. Sadly the teacher Paul cut me off in a rather aggressive tone and I decided such a poor attitude was not worth my time. Be careful before you judge I think is the takeaway here. Not all disabilities are seen.Won’t be back!

UDT was a lifesaver! Paul is just tremendous with great advice and coaching, we have seen tremendous results from our pup and have continued signing up for many courses, can’t recommend them enough!

We can’t recommend Urban Dog Training highly enough! We have 2 very happy and content dogs, thanks to the knowledge we have learnt from Urban. We absolutely LOVE Paul’s classes, the passion and genuine desire to help everyone have happy and healthy dogs is undeniable. We recommend everyone take their puppies/dogs to Urban to give themselves the best chance at understanding their dog’s behaviour and how to make their little lives as joyful as possible.Olah is our 2nd pup to come through the courses and we can only hope Paul & Danielle never retire so we can keep coming back again and again!! If you want to have the happiest relationship with your dog, go to Urban Dog Training!

Do yourself a favour, and find genuine caring trainer and schools for your puppy instead of a company just after your money. My puppy had an accident so could not attend the school. They ignored my request for a refund and showed no compassion towards the emergency. Ignored us and kept the money even though my puppy could not attend classes due to an accident. Disgusting. No ethics, no morals, no compassion.
