Polite Paws Dog Training, Puppy Preschool, Manners Classes, Behaviour Modification & Dog Products

I did Lisa's Puppy Training with Ellie my mini Sheepadoodle and it was the best decision. We both learned a lot in a familiar environment along with it's challenges (the Cats wanting in on the action). She enjoyed the training & has thrived. The gentle reward training was fantastic and I have loads of information to fall back on if you forget any of the basics. If you know any of the 'doodles' your life can be very challenging without manners and Ellie has turned out a well mannered young lady. We are still working on a few things and ready to progress to the Life Skills" course."

Lisa really understands my little dog, her body language and the underlying reasons for her behaviour. With Lisa’s wonderful training and guidance we are able to help, support and train our little girl to live her best and happiest doggie life. I highly recommend Lisa and Polite Paws.

Lisa has a real love of dogs, she encourages a great relationship with your dogs so they are happy and well behaved. So many great tips, exercises games to try, she really knows her stuff!!I did the online course- it was awesome, my dog Bonnie was able to concentrate and connect with me really well. Bonnie was (perhaps still is) a little hyper so I really don’t think she could have got as much out of a in-person/dog training session!

Lisa is a gem! My daughter and I have learned so much in her classes we are busy trying to think of reasons to go back and do another class. We highly recommend Lisa to all dog owners. Whatever you and your dog need Lisa is a genius at finding and teaching great and positive solutions. It's yer choice, but really, there's no choice!

My dog and I went through puppy school, life skills and had private consults from Lisa together, all online. I have an anxious cattle dog in the city which can be overwhelming with all of the things to know in terms of management and what's best for both of us. Lisa's training and support outside of classes is over and above. Her methodology is practical, approachable and effective without using harm to dogs which has made for a more sustainable happier life for us both.

Lisa puts so much effort into continually educating herself to ensure she is bringing the most up to date scientific training. Amazing to be able to train in the comfort of your own home so that your dog can focus on the training. I am thankful that I was able to find a positive force free trainer in the Hawkesbury. Highly recommend both the puppy class and the life skills class.

I was told not to use this company, but went ahead anyway, the concept of puppy classes in your own home is pretty good. Unfortunately our puppy did not respond to these training techniques. When we reached out in desperation for further support, it fell more than short, and we’re essential told we shouldn’t have been given our puppy. We had to seek advice and support elsewhere.

I did puppy training with Lisa after being recommended by my local vet. Not only did Lisa explain and provide my puppy and I with the skills to confidently take him out and about, but she went above and beyond in explaining why certain practices in puppy training are ineffective, busted some common mistakes, and delved into fascinating animal behaviour traits. This woman's knowledge base is incomparable!She's also been able to assist with all of our questions, with perfect results, and is so warm and helpful. She's truly everything that you hope to find in a behavioral specialist. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

The absolute best dog trainer around. Our corgi would be a different dog without Lisa’s training, both the puppy classes and the life skills course. I used to think I knew a lot about dog behaviour, but have learnt so, so much and have continued to use those skills every single day.
