Training dogs for life!

Dog Training as part of your life!

At Training Dogs for Life, we aim to train you how to train your dog. Based in Central Auckland, in a dedicated indoor dog training facility, Barkley Manor, we are committed to offering what YOU and YOUR dog need, whether starting your new life with a puppy or learning how to cope with day to day behavioural challenges.

With a team of qualified, experienced and passionate trainers, created and led by Jess Allsop you can take advantage of their skills and    knowledge at the pace and style that suits you  - whether basic manners or advanced obedience classes, agility or games clubs, one of our behaviour workshops for issues such a barking, pulling on lead, recall or more tailored one on one solutions for more specific behaviours such as aggression, separation anxiety etc.

Our training principles are based on you and your dog having a positive relationship where your dog does as you wish because it wants to, rather than because it has to.

Why? A dog that looks up to its owner and therefore wants to please its owner is a reliable happy dog. Dogs that are physically forced into compliance live lives full of unhappiness, stress and anxiety, a space that is counter-productive to learning. Using positive methods of reinforcement and clearly showing your dog what you require of it makes for a great learning environment, where your loved one can thrive.
