Customised Dog Training & Private Coaching

Customised training at Taaffeite K9 Training is designed to deliver consistent, long-term results by combining strong foundations with personalised one-on-one coaching.

All customised programs begin with our Fundamentals Short Course — an online program made up of 8 structured modules. This course builds the core skills every dog needs, including engagement, calm behaviour, clear communication, and essential obedience. Completing the fundamentals ensures both you and your dog arrive at private coaching sessions with a shared framework, allowing 1:1 time to be highly targeted and effective rather than spent on the basics.

Once the fundamentals course is completed, we then progress into customised 1:1 training sessions, tailored specifically to your goals and your dog’s needs.

These private sessions are available:

  • Online for interstate and international clients

  • In person at Samford Valley, Brisbane (QLD) for local residents

Each session focuses on practical application, troubleshooting, and progression — whether that involves behaviour modification, obedience refinement, confidence building, or skill development. 

Step 1: Foundations for Calm Canines

A self paced 8 module online short-course

All customised training at Taaffeite K9 Training begins with our Foundations for Calm Canines online short course.

 

The course guides you through essential concepts and practical training, including teaching clear marker cues and release cues, understanding canine body language, and learning how to manage triggers that lead to hyperactivity or over-arousal. You will also structure your home environment to support calm behaviour, implement effective routines, and teach practical skills such as mat training and polite greetings.

Delivered entirely online, the course can be completed at your own pace, allowing you to build strong foundations in a way that fits your schedule. Completion of the Foundations for Calm Canines program ensures that customised 1:1 training time is focused on your specific goals and challenges, rather than revisiting basic behaviours.
