Da Vinci Dog Training

Da Vinci Dog Training Certified in dog training and behaviour, I’m here too support you and your dog from the puppy stage through to senior and any problems in between.

I am certified in dog behaviour and training and am continuously upskilling. I love what I do and I firmly believe that as dog guardians, it is our duty to ensure our dogs lead fulfilling and enriched lives. I am not about using force, I aim to help you build a strong partnership with your dog, one where you work with them rather than against, using positive reinforcement. By analyzing your dog's behaviors, I can uncover ways to support them and you effectively.

✨ Training Update ✨

Over the past few weeks we’ve been doing some focused training with this brother and sister around things like marking, barking, chewing, and lead reactivity. A big part of this has been helping them learn how to feel calmer and more confident around other dogs.

Their reactions aren’t about aggression — it’s mostly over-excitement mixed with a little uncertainty — so we’ve been working on slow, positive introductions and building good experiences.

On Friday they came into with me and did some gentle meet-and-greets with smaller, calm dogs to help them practice staying relaxed, making good choices, and learning that being around other dogs doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

So proud of the progress so far 💛 Training takes time, patience, and lots of small wins — and we’re definitely seeing those wins!

🐾 Consult days with Levon 🐾

Meet Levon, a 7-year-old Fox Terrier who’s been struggling with occasional barking when left alone and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the world when things get noisy and fast.

This isn’t about “bad behaviour” — it’s about stress, big feelings, and not yet having the tools to cope.

Our focus with Levon is:
✔️ Reducing overall stress levels
✔️ Teaching calm independence at home
✔️ Helping him feel safer when left alone
✔️ Giving him jobs to do and ways to use his brain
✔️ Building focus and confidence around triggers like skateboards and scooters

By working below threshold, changing routines, using enrichment, and teaching Levon how to check in with his people when life feels a bit much, we’re setting him up for real, lasting change.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s a calmer dog, happier walks, and a home that feels safe and predictable.

So proud to be part of Levon’s journey 💛

✨ First Puppy Class today! ✨
We had four adorable pups join us for the start of their training journey 🐾 Keeping classes small means we can really focus on each pup and their individual needs.

They all had so much fun today, and I can’t wait to watch their confidence grow over the next three weeks. These little ones are already on their way to becoming amazing, well-rounded pups! 💜🐶

🐾 Puppy Power in Action! 🐾

Yesterday’s puppy class was all about cooperative care, enrichment and confidence-building obstacles — and wow, these pups nailed it! 💪🐶

We explored different textures, went over and under obstacles, popped our heads through things (because… why not? 🤭), and practiced calm, positive handling.

💡 Why do we do this?
✨ Build confidence – Learning to tackle new challenges helps pups feel braver in the big wide world.
✨ Boost resilience – A little “hmm, this is new…” moment followed by success teaches them they can handle change.
✨ Set them up for life – Early positive experiences make vet visits, grooming, and daily adventures so much easier.

Our next public puppy classes are coming up soon — the perfect way to give your pup the best start in life! 🐾

✨ Training Spotlight: Stevie the Office Pup ✨
Meet Stevie! At 16 months old, he’s been joining his mum at work and learning how to be the perfect professional companion 🐶💼

We focused on crate training to help Stevie have a calm and safe space—especially when clients might not be comfortable around dogs. Our goal is to make the crate feel like the best place in the world 🥰 using positive associations, enrichment, and choice.

Stevie’s still a little unsure about the crate door being closed, so we’re taking it slow and helping him feel confident and relaxed at his own pace. We also introduced some “mat time” for when dog-loving clients are around—building calm around distractions and reinforcing good settling behavior.

Go Stevie! You’re well on your way to being the most polite co-worker in the office 🐾💛
