Daniel has done an awesome job working with my reactive 3 year old shepherd Rambo, we are excited to continue training him with Daniel's advice. Highly recommend him and the board and train program!

Daniel truly is an expert dog trainer! After a board & train stay with Daniel, our 9 months old miniature schnauzer is now much calmer, happy, and she’s a lot more attentive to our instructions. Daniel also posted lots of regular video updates on how Pepper was going (which we greatly appreciated), and Daniel spent some time to show us better skills and training techniques as owners when we picked her up. The change in that short time has blown us away – no more excessive barking, loose lead walking is an absolute pleasure, and visiting parks, stores, cafes etc are all enjoyable again. We highly recommend Daniel and Focus on Dog Training. Thank you Daniel!

Daniel looked after our 10 month border collie for ~2 weeks. He helped our pup learn to be calm around balls and kids, and at cafes. Really appreciated the training and constant updates Daniel sent every day in the form of multiple videos and photos. Will use again when we next go away!

Daniel was absolutely amazing with our blue heeler Murphy, he spent 2 1/2 weeks with Daniel. He kept us up to date on how his training was going. Murphy learnt to loose lead walk, stay in his place, stay whilst sitting having lunch etc up the street plus more. He was able to do all this when we brought him home. Thanks heaps, I highly recommended focus on dog training. Daniel even paid us a visit (we live 3 1/2) hours away.

Daniel is a highly skilled dog trainer who worked with our Staffy pup and taught him new tricks and general obedience such as loose lead walking. I was so surprised at how well Spencer picked things up, but at the same time, having seen the techniques Daniel used, it was evident that Daniel has had years of experience and that it would be easy for a dog to learn through his training. Thanks Daniel for an amazing couple of sessions. We are all thankful!
