Behaviour dog training in Central Auckland for dogs who bark, lunge, or struggle to cope on walks. Expert support for reactive and high-arousal dogs

Walk your dog without stress, embarrassment, or constant tension.
Even if right now they react to other dogs, people, bikes, or everything around them.

Each dog-owner duo is unique, so we tailor every session to your dog’s needs and your goals, no one-size-fits-all approach here.

We proudly use force-free methods and game-based learning as a gentle and effective way to improve behaviour and strengthen your relationship. With patience, understanding and quality guidance, we make training a positive, successful experience for both ends of the leash.

What People Are Saying

  • A dog with a grey and brown coat sitting on a sandy beach with rocks and cliffs in the background.

    “I have used other dog walkers in the past but have found Charlotte to be the best. Ziggy is always so happy to see her. The walks are varied and interesting and include some sort of training focus.”

  • Black dog lying on the sand at the beach, facing to the right, with the ocean and partly cloudy sky in the background.

    “Charlotte has been absolutely amazing for both myself and my 4 months old. Charlotte is lovely to engage with and super bonus is my pup also thinks she's great. Highly recommended.”
