Austins' Dog Training Education

Steve and Vicki are wonderful people, amazing trainers and even better teachers. I've never felt so at ease and so intrigued by a training course as I have while attending their day courses.I have now participated in the 'Dangerous Dog Assessment' workshop by Steve and the 'Treating Aggression Problems' workshop by Vicki, and I was beyond impressed by the quality of both courses.I highly reccomend Austins' Dog Training Education to anyone looking to gain more knowledge about dogs, whether for personal or business reasons. I know I'll be going back for more!

I am so glad that I made the decision to join this course. As someone who wants to focus my business solely around puppies, this course covered a great amount of important and crucial information that any puppy trainer should know. Vicki was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, especially during practical week. Vicki was open to hearing other opinions and responded with such respect in which therefore created a safe space for class members to have open discussions all things relating dogs. I also travelled from interstate which made finding a puppy to work with a little tricky, however Vicki helped through the whole process.

In the last two years I have completed 2 courses with Austins' Dog Training Education. I have studied both the Dog Training and Behaviour Certificate and the Puppy Instructor Course. I have found both courses have provided me with the skills and confidence to establish my own dog training business. The learning process and materials were very interesting, professional and thorough. The practical training days at Calabash Kennels were enjoyable and helped cement the knowledge learnt through online learning and webinars. Both Vicki and Steve are extremely experienced and knowledgeable but also approachable. Their ongoing support has been invaluable.

I've just completed the Dog Training and Behaviour Certificate with Steve and Vicki.The material is comprehensive, well explained, science based and throughout my studies I had plenty of support from both to have my questions answered in a timely manner.Practical days were well organised and there I've received valuable feedback to improve my handling and training skills.What I enjoyed a lot as well was to be in an environment where respect was deeply encouraged. In the dog training world, it's easy to find criticism and disagreements in choices of approach, but there I saw nothing but respect to the dog's best interest and to all people involved.Highly recommend!
