About Taylor Made Canine Training

Taylor Made Canine Training is excited to be relaunching as a walk and train and owner coaching service. Included in this relaunch is the change in name from Paw & Order Dog Walking to Taylor Made Canine Training. I have been operating since 2021 offering a pack walking service. In the years of operation, I have focussed on learning from people and dogs around me and further afield, slowly building each dog, and building the individual relationships with each dog. I strongly believe in keeping a forever learning mindset and adjusting to the dog in front of you. 

For my personal and client dogs, I have spent years developing communication between us, identifying appropriate outlets, attending seminars to further my knowledge, trialling my personal dogs in sports and working on issues of reactivity and engagement. Having personally had a reactive dog, and helping other reactive dogs, my passion is helping owners to enjoy life with their dogs the way they and their dogs deserve and need. 

Taylor Made Canine Training will now be centred around training issues, with smaller groups or individual sessions coupled with owner coaching. Have you ever heard someone say ‘my dogs a different dog for you’? Thats because a dog trainer has established rules and boundaries and expectations with the dog in their relationship. That relationship and therefore that behaviour will stay the same for the owner unless the owner also changes those things, and it can be done.

A dog trainer is not a magic fix to a problem, but the coach to guide you through how to fix the issue. I also take your dog for sessions away from you to enable your dog to learn the foundations quicker, as well as coaching you how to maintain those foundations and also teach them. Getting everyone on the same page is so important, but a dog trainer can’t magically fix the problem if you aren’t also doing the work. A good dog trainer empowers you to understand the issues and do that work yourself, so the results can be maintained long after the training with me is over. 

To get the most out of this, a minimum sign up period of 7 weeks of attending walk and trains twice a week is required. As part of this you will also receive a free 40 minute owner coaching once weekly - this cannot be rescheduled to the following week or built up and taken together at the end. It is only free if you attend, if you do not attend you will be charged the 40 minute consult fee of $100. This is to incentivise you to attend the training and keep us both accountable, so your dog and you can get the most out of the 7 weeks of training. The owner coaching can be rescheduled to a time mutually agreeable during the same week if needed. 

My approach to dog training 

My approach to training is balanced, although before applying pressure to any dog I first establish relationships with them and most of my work is in a positive way as much as possible. I’m forever expanding my knowledge based on the experiences I’m having and also seeking that knowledge from others through seminars and workshops.

The sign up process 

There is first an initial consultation which is 1 hour long. There we discuss the issues you’re having, your goals, and anything else. We make a plan for your training, and what goals may be achievable, my expectations of you as the owner in doing the homework and attending the owner coaching sessions. 

If your dog is safe for me to collect, we then move to walk and trains with owner coaching. There is a minimum 7 weeks sign up commitment required, attending twice a week for the walk and trains. There is a free weekly 40 minute owner coaching included in that, however if you cancel that appointment you are charged the $100 consultation fee for it, this is to incentivise you to attend so you and your dog make the progress you deserve and pay for. 

If your dog is unsafe for me to collect, we continue with weekly owner coaching sessions for a minimum sign up period of 7 weeks. 

There is a 10% discount available if you purchase the 7 weeks of training up front, otherwise you are able to pay week to week however it is full price. Afterpay is available through the website.
