At McKinnons, our Behaviour and Training Services are designed to support dogs who need a little extra understanding — and owners who want practical, lasting results.
We work with puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs, specialising in anxiety, fear, reactivity, over-arousal, and other challenging behaviours that can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Our approach is calm, structured, and kind.
There’s no one-size-fits-all training here — every dog learns differently, and we take the time to understand what’s driving their behaviour before creating a plan that truly suits them.
Whether you’re working through big emotions, building confidence, or laying strong foundations for a young dog, we focus on progress that feels achievable and safe.
Sessions are delivered in the environment that best supports your dog’s needs and goals — at home, out in the real world, or in controlled settings where learning can happen without pressure.
At every step, our aim is simple: to help dogs feel more secure, more confident, and better able to cope with their world — while giving owners the skills and support to guide them clearly and compassionately.
Because meaningful behaviour change comes from understanding, consistency, and trust.
