Real World Dog Training to Teach Your Dog To Listen And Make Both Your Lives Happier
Private Lessons | Obedience Training at Canine Revolution
More Than Basic Obedience Training
At Canine Revolution, we believe in going beyond basic obedience training. Our goal is to help your dog master the art of making good choices independently, developing reliable obedience that lasts a lifetime. No need for constant micromanagement—we’ll work together to ensure your dog learns better habits for the long haul.
Thorough Behavior Evaluation and Tailored Training Plan
With two decades of dog training experience, we understand that every dog is unique with individual training needs. Each training program at Canine Revolution starts with an extensive evaluation of your dog’s temperament, behavior history, and specific challenges. This allows us to create a personalized training plan that addresses core issues and leverages your dog’s natural abilities and genetic traits. Whether your dog struggles with leash pulling, counter surfing, ignoring commands, or simply needs to perfect their obedience skills, we’ve got you covered.
Games- and Play-Based Dog Training Approach
We prioritize your dog’s dignity, emotions, and well-being in training. Our focus is on teaching practical obedience that’s easy for you to implement in real life, not just parlor tricks for show. We emphasize clear communication and trust-building, becoming your dog’s friend first before starting any formal training. This approach makes the process more efficient and enjoyable for your dog, reducing frustration and confusion, and leading to more effective long-term results.
Personalized 1:1 Learning Experience
Quality over quantity is our mantra. We only accept a small number of training clients at one time, ensuring we can dedicate ample time to you and your dog to maximize their success in training. No generalized advice here—only personalized recommendations and strategies tailored to your training goals and your dog’s personality.
Real-World Training and Socialization
Our training methods extend far beyond the classroom. Our board and train program includes real-world scenarios to prepare your dog for everyday life, from outdoor adventures and public socialization to neighborhood walks. This ensures your dog learns to apply their training in various situations and respond appropriately in the real world.
You Learn as Your Dog Learns
Whether we train your dog together or we handle the training for you, you’ll learn alongside your dog to ensure you’re fully prepared to keep the progress going. You’ll have direct access to our team both during and after your dog’s training as part of our commitment to your dog’s long-term success.
Tareik Hart16/09/2024 James is an amazing dog instructor and very passionate about what he does. It was great attending the training sessions with James. He is very knowledgeable and very patient. I would highly recommend James for anybody who needs help becoming a better dog owner and modifying their dogs’ behaviour. Karen How01/01/2024 Worth getting your families train Jim McHattie15/07/2023 We have had lots of dogs and none of them would have otherwise had a home. We didn't hesitate to take on a difficult dog whose owner had become homeless. Our deaf American Staffie turned out to be more of a challenge than we could manage. He pulled on leash, reacted to dogs, attacked visitors and had had a lot of intermittent reinforcement so he didn't respond to training. Finally when he bit a speech pathologist and the counsel became involved, we contacted canine revolution. The board and train made a big difference. The impossible became possible. The training we were given and the time we put in made the possible usual. We still have a dog who needs a lot of attention but there is no longer any doubt that he is ours for life. He brings us much joy. Thank you, Jim! Ann Nojin23/11/2022 Jimmy came to our house to train Jack. Jack has been a bad boy and bites his mum and scares the visitors. Jack loves Jimmy and is now starting to behave. 7 lessons to go! I would recommend Jimmy all day every day. He is so confident and knows what he is doing. He gives me confidence that Jack will become a good boy. Many thanks Jimmy Rachel Cassar18/05/2022 James' training has been invaluable. His knowlege & passion for what he does shows through in his results in working with what would typically be perceived as "difficult dogs". I have a large breed dog who I absolutely love (and admittedly spoil), but he has always had anxiety about being left alone, couldn't be left outside, became reactive to dogs after being attacked & as a result was very difficult to take for walks. I thought I was doing the right things to keep him feeling safe & happy, but there's lots I was doing & not doing to unknowingly contribute to his insecurities & behaviour. After the board & train, my dog came home 100% more secure, more balanced, more receptive & overall more happier dog!!! I loved seeing videos of his progress whilst he was there & socialising with other dogs again. James followed up with 1-on-1 lessons to help me with learning & continue my training to break my bad habits. James is very supportive & I know that I can contact any time for help & he'll do what he can to help. I highly recommend his board & train services!!!! Totally worth it. Shelby Flowers05/04/2022 Cannot recommend you enough, I tell everyone where to go for awesome dog training!! I sent my very naughty Newfoundland puppy away for the board and train program and have received back an awesome dog who listens! I can finally walk both my dogs together without any pulling or naughty behaviour and I’m enjoying our walks now. The 1:1 training afterwards is invaluable (not only for the dog but for us too). So glad I found you and I can’t thank you enough for all your help. Michelle Boyton06/02/2022 Great experience. Trainer really understood how to help us respond to our dog and get the best out of training. Our dog stopped pulling on the lead and loved the training sessions. Very professional. Sarah Graham27/09/2021 Came home to a calmer dog, who is now able to be near other dogs without going crazy. Took such great care of him while I was away. Simple and effective training tricks to take home and practice. James continues to check in and suggest different things to try at home as well. Can’t recommend James and the crew enough!! Leah Brown27/09/2021 I can not thank James enough for his help with my dog Millie. I used to never take my dogs on a walk because it would always result in me crying. Millie would pull and react to every person or dog that we would walk past, this made it very difficult to walk two dogs. Millie attended the Board and Stay program for 3 weeks. During her stay I got photo updates and videos of how Millie was progressing. I was able to message James and ask him how Millie was progressing. On Millie’s first day home we went on a walk and walked past 9 other dogs! She did not bark or pull towards one of them. Millie and I together still have training to go through together but I could not have gotten where we are without James!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes Canine Revolution Dog Training Programs So Effective & Unique?
At Canine Revolution, our obedience programs are all about nurturing a dog’s enthusiasm for work and ensuring they focus on their owner above distractions like other dogs and people. We use a variety of engaging games to build this focus and engagement, leading to super-fast recall. If your dog is more of a couch potato, they might just end up walking fast instead! Jokes aside, we genuinely love tailoring our training programs to suit both your dog’s needs and what works best for you as the owner. We believe that personalized training ensures the best results and a happier, more obedient dog.
Do you Train Pups?
We absolutely love training puppies and shaping them from as early as 8 weeks of age. Having a blank canvas is the perfect opportunity to create the dog of your dreams. By starting early, we can help mold your puppy into a well-adjusted, responsive, and intelligent companion. This proactive approach is far more effective than waiting to address problems later on. Training starts the day you bring them home, so let's dive in and get started today!

Some clients prefer training once a week, while others choose to train twice a week. Whatever works best for you and your furry friend!
What Training Method Do You Use In Your Dog Obedience Lessons?
Our training methods are rooted in our extensive experience with all styles of dog training—the good, the bad, and everything in between. We've seen it all, and we bring a wealth of knowledge to each training session.
Our approach starts by fostering a high level of enthusiasm in your dog for both you and the training activities. We gradually introduce the leash, helping your dog understand that they need to remain focused, even when tempted by other dogs, people, or wildlife. As training progresses, we introduce corrections when necessary, ensuring your dog understands the importance of making good choices. This leads to a strong desire in your dog to seek your approval and rewards, resulting in a well-behaved and happy companion.
Can Any Dog Be Trained?
Can any dog be trained? Absolutely! The real question is: Are you ready to embrace new techniques and adapt to help your dog learn? Will you put in the time and effort to ensure your dog reaches their full potential? Every dog can learn and achieve great things, especially when you start early. It's about giving your dog the chance to be the best they can be, and with your dedication, they will thrive. Let's get started and unlock your dog's amazing potential together!
Are Sessions On A Strict Time & Day once we start?
No, our sessions are flexible and tailored to your needs! Each session is a private lesson by appointment, allowing us to reconfirm the next session at the end of the current one. Life can be unpredictable, and progress with your dog happens through practice at home. So, do the work, and we'll be ready to help your furry friend in the next session!
