1:1 Private Dog Training

Personalised Coaching for Real-Life Results

At Summit Canine, our 1:1 Private Training sessions are designed to meet you where you’re at. Whether you’re laying solid foundations, working through behaviour challenges, or looking to build stronger communication with your dog.

This is more than obedience training. It’s structured, relationship-based coaching that helps you raise a dog that fits your life, with practical tools you can use every day.

Who It’s For

Private training is ideal for:

  • New puppy or adolescent dog owners looking to build engagement and structure

  • Dogs showing signs of reactivity, anxiety or over-arousal

  • Owners needing support with leash manners, settling, or consistent communication

  • Anyone wanting individual guidance tailored to their dog’s personality and needs

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck, we’ll help you gain clarity, confidence and control.

What’s Covered

Each session is fully customised and may include:

  • Leash handling skills and calm walking behaviour

  • Focus work and engagement with the handler

  • Structured obedience cues (sit, stay, recall, place, etc.)

  • Reactivity management or exposure work

  • Impulse control and settling around distractions

  • Behaviour troubleshooting and lifestyle coaching

  • In-home, community or outdoor environments based on goals

We don’t offer a “one size fits all” program; your dog and your goals shape the plan.

    During your session, we’ll assess your dog in real time and guide you through practical handling techniques and structured routines.

    You'll receive actionable feedback and clear next steps to implement between sessions. Ongoing support is available to keep you on track.

Our Training Philosophy

At Summit Canine, we take a balanced, relationship-first approach to training. We’re here to support everyday owners, not sell a style, our focus is on building communication, confidence and control in ways that suit both dog and handler.

We work in line with Victoria’s Domestic Animal Business guidelines, and may recommend training tools appropriate for your dog’s needs, goals and safety.
