Happy Dogs Byron Bay

Need help with your puppy or dog? This package is a great place to start!

The New Client Training Program is a comprehensive service designed to help dog owners address a wide range of behavioural challenges in both puppies and adult dogs. 

Purpose and Approach
Designed for dogs with numerous issues like barking, jumping, pulling, anxiety, reactivity, fear, or aggression, the program focuses on understanding the root causes of behaviour rather than suppressing symptoms. Each plan is tailored to the individual dog and environment, promoting calm, confident, and well-adjusted companions through education, consistency, and positive experiences.

Science-Based, Force-Free Training
Focusing on positive reinforcement, the program avoids punishment & aversive tools. This evidence-based, ethical method strengthens trust, encourages learning, and supports emotional wellbeing.
