Let us Teach Your Dog 'How to'
Our approach is Science-backed.
How to stop your dog from pulling on walks, and barking and lunging.
How to handle your dog's jumping problems, chewing, and not listening.
Our 1:1 Training Classes work on your dog's emotional response (Classical conditioning) and their behaviour choices (Operant Conditioning). At The Dog Behaviour Academy Auckland, we help you build the behaviours and skills you want to see more of while managing, redirecting, and replacing the unwanted behaviours. We also support you and your dog with training walks to practice and strengthen these skills.

Reviews: What people are saying

“Merran worked amazingly with Reggie, my rehomed 1-year-old, energy-packed puppy. She showed patience and brought knowledge, practical ideas, toys, and activities to enable us to live together and develop a lovely relationship.”

“We have recently engaged Merran as we needed strategies to handle our 3-year-old Japanese Spitz. She spent time getting to know us and how we worked together and has given us implementable strategies that we can immediately apply.”

“Merran has trained my dog to walk calmly on a lead, no more jumping on people and she now has excellent recall. I highly recommend Merran to any dog owner who needs some help!”
