Pet Dog Training | The Holistic Hound

Get to work & start living your best lives

I prefer to run dog training programs, which is a little different to your one-off sessions that some other trainers may only offer.

I have found that dog training programs, which are results based and set on reaching a particular goal, get better results for clients overall than a one-off session here and there. Individual sessions may be cheaper at the time, but won't necessarily help you and your dog reach your full potential as a dog-human team.

However, as you can see below I also offer One-Off Sessions for anyone who is struggling with only a couple of issues,

More recently within the business I have found my niche in Socialisation, Off Leash Reliability & Aggression, so this is something I specialise in these days - but whether it's dog aggression, reactivity, leash pulling, bad manners in the house, jumping up or anxiety, I am happy to help!

I have a few options, as everyone's situation is different;

> Glory's Speedy Sessions (One-Off Private Sessions)

> Bundy's Basics Program (Basic Program)

> The Full Ferris Program (Advanced Program)

REAL WORLD DOG TRAINING
All of my programs below are centered around real world and real life dog training. I don't take your dogs into a boarding program and train them without you. I don't only offer training within a facility. We train in REAL locations that you will need to have results in following the program.

During group classes, we also focus on exercises you are likely to need in real life, including protecting your dog from other people/dogs, emergency downs, and more.

WHERE TO START; THE EVALUATION
**Note: As of October 2025, I only run evaluations from my location in Roleystone.

An obligation-free initial evaluation to answer any and all questions you may have before beginning training. If you aren't sure whether you need a one-off session, basic program or advanced program, the evaluation is where to start.

The evaluation is also where I can assess your dog and give basic advice on the situation. From here, I will write up a personalised quote specific to your dog and situation. The evaluation normally takes around 1-1.5 hours and I run this from my location in Roleystone.

- Don't worry, my programs and private sessions are run wherever you need to work - at your home or local park, it is only the initial evaluation that is generally run from my property.

- Also don't worry if you don't think your dog will "show the behaviour" at my property. I have been a dog trainer and worked in dog behaviour myself for over 10 years now - I know what the behaviour looks like! If you're really concerned I need to see it, take a video and send it to me via Facebook or Whatsapp - but I can set up everything I need to see from my property with my helper dogs.

We will discuss training techniques, suggestions and possibilities as well as the differences between the options I offer so you can make the best choice moving forward.

Evaluation Cost: $165.00 ($150.00 + GST)
Includes assessment, basic advice, personalised quote to your dog and situation.

WHY DO I PREFER PROGRAMS OVER ONE-OFF SESSIONS?

Short answer: they get better results!

Long answer:...

I started out just offering one-off sessions, and that was fine for a while, I learned a lot training that way.

But, after switching to programs I've seen a massive change in positive results, vs one-off sessions.

𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁:

I come to you, I work where you want to work
A block of sessions, based upon a goal (results based) - these sessions are not timed so we will work as long as is needed
Training tools are included in your program and you keep them from Session 1, we can even switch tools if we find that something else will work better halfway through!
Written Online Content via my Client Portal for you to refer to whenever you need
Entry to my Facebook Client Group for updates, extra content, networking, support & more
Entry to unlimited group classes for your first 12 months (minimum) to maintain training & work in a structured & safe environment with others
Access to my helper dogs during sessions
Ongoing support with me whenever you need, both during the program AND after
An open-minded trainer: I have a bunch of techniques I use on the regular, but I will literally try anything to get results - I even have a group of trainers for support who I bounce ideas off, so essentially you're getting the brains of many!
Dog training is a process and if you really want things to change, you have to make decent changes in your lifestyle and be supported through troubleshooting along the way, 1 session is not going to fix serious issues for you.
Also, I can be lazy as hell when I'm not kept accountable and I'm sure you can too! So multiple sessions help you to stay on track with a training plan, check-ins & homework in between sessions.
The biggest thing that this together provides... is a lot more support than you get with your average session with a trainer, through the program and support all the way to your goal. The only way I'll give up, is if you do. But if you're dedicated, so am I.
If your dog is taking longer to progress and I can see you're doing all the work, I'll happily chuck in free sessions. I need to pay my overheads and my bills, yes, but that's not why I do what I do, I WANT to help dogs & their owners kick goals and it's something I'd do even if I won the lottery and didn't have to work. I want you to reach your goals so I'm happy to do so, as long as you are following instructions and putting in the work.
