Say 'Hi' 👋 to Ryder!

This lovely gentleman had his Training Walk today to join our Wednesday Winton/Invercargill Pack 😊

He picked up the foundations really quickly and respected the structure and rules we implement to keep everyone happy and comfortable! ❤️

The pack really liked him too and I'm sure as he gets familiar with everyone he'll make some great friends 🐾🥳

Welcome to the pack, Fergus! 🎉

This handsome GSP had a fantastic first Friday, impressing us all with his sweet nature and quick learning of the foundations of pack life! He meshed well with the pack and just needs a little help fine-tuning his social skills when he gets excited 😍

Our pack is all about guided socialisation and building confidence, and Fergus is off to a great start ❤️🐾

Spaces are available! DM us to see if your dog is a good fit.

🌟 Meet Missy 🌟

This is Missy, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu, who had a fantastic first session with our small dog pack. We're proud of how quickly she found a calm and balanced state amidst the group.

Our pack days are an extension of education, not just exercise. We guide dogs to be confident and well-adjusted by respecting their natural instincts and providing clear communication, which means ever has fun and can form great friendships ❤️🐾

We still have spaces available, so if you think your dogs could benefit from healthy and guided socialisation get in touch 🤗

First pack day = TOTAL SUCCESS! 🎉

Welcome to Pablo, the gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog x Poodle puppy! For a pup who hadn't met a whole pack before, he was an absolute superstar – calm, curious, and grew in confidence quickly. 🥰

He's joined us to grow up learning great social skills, make lifelong friends, and of course, have a ton of fun. We're so excited to watch him grow and mature!

Seeing a pup blossom is why we do this! If your dog needs a supportive and experienced pack to learn in, send us a message. We'd love to help! 🐾

Meet Milou, the young Pomeranian who's stealing hearts! She's joined the pack to have fun, build her confidence, and learn all her social skills in a safe and balanced environment.

We still have spaces left in our Thursday Gore Tiny Dog Pack! If you have a small K9 who'd love to learn and play, send us a message to secure their spot! 🐾👋

Our Invercargill Pack Day got to welcome this cutie on Wednesday 🥰🐾

🔥Reminder🔥Building on the Foundations Workshop THIS Saturday (14/6)

If you’ve completed an In-Home Consultation, Laying the Foundations Workshop, or Board & Train program then this is a great way to practice with your dog in a controlled but distracting environment, ask some questions and fine tune anything you might be struggling with. It's also just a great way to get out with your dog and do some training and upskilling! 🐶🐾

Drop me a message if you would like to sign up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The journey to a well-trained dog doesn’t end with the basics—it grows with consistent practice and expert guidance. Just like mastering any skill, dog training takes time, patience, and the right environment to turn good habits into lasting results.

Our ‘Building on the Foundations’ workshops provide a safe, controlled-distraction setting where you and your dog can safely build skills, boost confidence, and work toward mastery at your own pace. With professional support on hand, you’ll refine techniques, troubleshoot challenges, and strengthen your teamwork—layer by layer. Because true progress isn’t just about practice… it’s about practicing right.

Our Philosophy

Our name explained – A dog is a Dog By Design, it is not a cat, bird, fish or human. A ‘Dog’ is what he is most happy being.

Our main goal is help owners prevent behavioural issues arising by educating them on the needs and behaviour of their dog.

If you have a better understanding of how your dog naturally works it makes communicating with them a lot clearer.

Don’t under estimate the power of socialisation. It is about preparing your dog to cope with change, distraction & the unknown and learn that it isn’t something to react to. When done properly it builds a dog’s confidence so that when human error inevitably occurs your dog is better equipped to make better choices.
