It’s easier to prevent behavioural problems:
Why In Home Training is crucial

This specialised visit is for puppies from 8 weeks to 5 months with dedicated owners who truly want their new puppy to thrive and adapt into a well-established set up.

It is also recommended to do progress sessions every 4 weeks to ensure you stay on track with your puppy’s development.

It is important to get your puppy off to the right start. My specialised In-Home Puppy Training Set Up visit is specific to your family and environment.

I will help you set up the home properly. I will give you a program to follow to prevent bad behaviour developing.

There are many dog behaviours we create without realising. This in-depth In-Home Puppy Training Set Up session will show you how to avoid some of the most common dog behaviour issues such as barkingseparation anxietyexcitement, fearaggression to name a few. It will also stop behaviours your puppy is demonstrating now, such as bitingnipping and jumping and toilet training problems.

Note: Not all puppy training is the same, in fact my session is worlds apart from an obedience trainer’s session. My information is life changing information.

But, Why?

I’ve had so many clients with older dogs that are now experiencing behavioural problems with their dogs say to me “Why have I never heard this information before?”. My answer, because you’ve used obedience trainers. Teaching your puppy obedience is the easiest thing to do. Whilst I can help with obedience as well, that is not my focus.

In my experience, puppies and older dogs struggle to focus and follow instruction from the owners. Why? Well, if your puppy only sees you as a provider of fun, food, love, kisses and cuddles your dog will not naturally want to follow you. This is the bottom line – there are many dogs that can perform for food but without the food the owner gets nothing from the dog. That’s because respect hasn’t been created through leadership.

It’s typical human behaviour to wait until something is broken before we fix it. In my experience waiting for your puppy to mature in hope that the behaviours disappear means they generally mature with the behavioural problem. One of the common myths is that dogs will start to behave as they mature. This is not always the case.

My In-Home Puppy Set Up visit is designed to create stability, consistency and structure which will lead to the correct conditioning and a trusting and respectful relationship – Kat is Noosa’s most respected Dog Behavioural Trainer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dog psychology?2025-05-12T09:45:40+10:00

Dog psychology, not human psychology!

It is important that I think like a dog, not a human. This is why my methods are based on dog psychology not human psychology.

My main focus is on your dog’s state of mind. So often we think a dog is happy if it’s over excited or if it is obsessed or unable to calm down, in fact these states of mind are unhealthy in the dog world. In dogs with these issues you will probably notice they suffer with some form of anxiety as well.

For me, it’s important to find out why your dog has a behavioural problem. Once I’ve assessed the home environment and determined the reason behind the behaviour we can start the rehabilitation process.

Kat’s 4 Dogs is all about creating calm assertive leadership and guidance your dog will benefit from in so many ways. If we learn to fulfil our dog’s needs both mentally and physically you will have a happy stable companion.

All my sessions are designed for you and your dog and are specific to your environment. To me, a truly educated dog lover always ensures their dog’s needs are met first.

What are your dog training methods?2025-05-12T09:38:43+10:00

My dog training methods:

  • I will not ask you to throw things near or around your dog to scare them. These methods will not work.
  • You will not see me arrive with a pocket full of treats or a water bottle to spray in your dog’s face.
  • I don’t believe in harsh methods such as hitting or yelling, this will only create fear in your dogs.
  • I’m honest and up front and will only work with people prepared to make changes for the better.
  • I will help you create clear rules and boundaries in your home to establish leadership, trust and respect.

If you are truly looking to create a trusting and respectful relationship, your calm yet assertive energy is the key, your dog understands very quickly when he is in the presence of good energy. I will explain and show you how to achieve this. There is so much you need to know about dog training and I’m here to help you understand your role in helping your dog become balanced.

Can you provide on-going support?2025-05-12T09:37:06+10:00

My promise to you is I will be with you the whole way through your dog’s training and rehabilitation stage and provide ongoing support.

Customer service means so much to me and ensuring you and your dog’s welfare and happiness is my passion. I want to see more dogs stay in the family home environment and out of rescue centres.
