WHY PRODOG TRAINING?
There are many different ways to approach dog training. What makes us different from other dog trainers is that our methods encompass motivational dog training with a strong focus on positive reinforcement that takes place within a well-structured program. We create reliable, sustainable practices that reflect you and your dog’s needs that are applicable in the real world and results in happy, well balanced and well-behaved dogs.
Our staff are fully qualified and highly experienced dog trainers, but we are also dog enthusiasts. We set high standards for our training programs that integrate skills and play to keep you and your dog motivated.
We have two of the largest indoor dog training centres in Australia, located in West Footscray in Melbourne; but as a standard practice we conduct smaller group training sessions to maximise your experience.
Whatever your dog training needs are, our team of experts can help you. With years of high-level professional experience in various disciplines and relevant qualifications, we are leaders in the dog training and daycare industries.
We are proudly certified by the National Dog Training Federation (NDTF) and a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP)

ā I thoroughly enjoy all of the video tutorials on Pro Dog TV which are broken down into easy steps to understand. Best of all – you get to see the trainers with their own dogs. Itās not often that you see trainers with their own dogs showing you how well trained and engaged they are!ā

REAL PEOPLE SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE
āHighly recommended. Pro Dog is a fantastic facility, they have highly skilled trainers and host numerous workshops ran by some amazing Australian and International dog trainers.ā
āPro Dog is simply awesome. Their skill, knowledge, care and generosity are second to none. The trainers (Dave, Sally, Jules and Sigrid) are all top notch, each bringing something a bit different to the table so you will be sure to find a good match for you and your dog.ā
āI can’t recommend David from Pro Dog Training highly enough. I have so much respect for his investment in ongoing training and his passion for animals. Love his work.ā
āWe started training with Julie for our greyhound Gus. Julie has been amazing, really engaging and has a practical teaching style. Great facilities. Pro Dog also have a greyhound specific course which is fabulous.”
āAbsolutely the best. They teach not only the dog but you; changing any bad habits, encouraging you to think a different way and they truly have the dog’s best interest in mind. They are small classes and you feel like you get one on one support. Highly recommend everything Pro Dog offers.”
