We work on a first come, first serv

e basis so booking before hand is crucial. We have group classes every Saturday morning. Basic obedience training for beginners & puppy adolescence classes. Children are welcome as they form part of the socialization but need to be under the supervision of an adult. We welcome all breeds, and only positive reinforcement methods are used. Dogtales also offers one-on-one classes for behavioral related issues. We understand that not all dogs are able to socialize and therefore we offer these classes so that they too can be part of training. We use certain training techniques according to the dogs specific needs. Positive reinforcement training is encouraged. Dogtales also has their very own Pet Sitters Club available to those who need a reliable & qualified pet sitter. All Nanny's have extensive background experience in working with animals & all have their police clearance certificates. Trained to work with all dogs.

Another graduate in the books! 🎓🐾

Adolescence can be a challenging stage, but with consistency, patience, and training, great things happen. Well done on reaching this milestone!

One of the biggest mistakes I see owners make is deciding what their dog should be okay with.

Trigger distance isn’t about whether the trigger seems rational to us. It’s about recognising the point where your dog starts to struggle and working from there. When we respect our dog’s threshold, learning can happen. When we push past it, we’re often setting them up to fail.

Listen to the dog in front of you. 🐾

One thing I get asked a lot is, “Can obedience training fix this?” 🐾

And honestly… not always.

Yes, obedience training is incredibly valuable. It teaches communication, structure, impulse control, and practical life skills. But if your dog is struggling with things like anxiety, reactivity, fear, aggression, or separation distress, that’s often a behaviour issue—not an obedience issue.

The two absolutely work hand in hand, but teaching a dog to sit, stay, or down doesn’t automatically change how they feel. And behaviour is so often driven by emotion.

This is why understanding the why behind your dog’s behaviour matters just as much as the training itself 💚

Not every dog wants to be touched — and kids need to know that. 🐾

Respecting boundaries, reading body language, and asking before approaching can prevent bites and build safer relationships.

Education starts at home 💚

Your dog wasn’t designed for suburbs, traffic, and “sit nicely at the café.”

They were built to chase.
To bark.
To react.
To feel everything at full volume.

And then we drop them into a world that punishes them for it.

That’s where we come in.

Not to shut them down.
Not to “fix” them.
Not to train the dog out of them.

But to guide them.
To create structure.
To keep them safe in a world that doesn’t understand what they are.

Because a well-trained dog isn’t one without instincts - it’s one who knows how to live with them.

We often focus so much on training, routines, and behaviour that we forget one very important thing: dogs are deeply social, emotional beings. Sometimes what they need most isn’t another command… it’s closeness, reassurance, and connection. 💚
