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!

Common Problems Werribee Dog Owners Face

Living in a busy and growing suburb like Werribee often means your dog is surrounded by new sights, sounds and distractions.

Many local owners reach out because their dog is struggling with everyday behaviour challenges — and private training is the fastest way to get reliable results.

Here are some of the most common issues we help Werribee clients with:

Dog and owner in private dog training

Pulling on the lead at busy Werribee walking paths

Dogs often become overstimulated on local footpaths and near parks such as the Werribee River trail. We teach calm, loose-lead walking in real environments.

Barking at home, in the yard, or at neighbours

With Werribee suburbs become more dense and on-street activity more frequent, barking can quickly escalate. We identify the trigger and build calmer, more controlled behaviour.

Reactivity toward dogs or people

Werribee’s popular parks and cafe culture mean your dog may encounter unfamiliar dogs daily. We help reduce lunging, reactivity,  barking, and anxious responses through controlled exposure and confidence-focused training.

Jumping on visitors or family members

A common issue for social or excited dogs. We focus on teaching calm greetings and impulse control at home.

Poor recall in open spaces

Whether at Presidents Park, Werribee South Foreshore or local reserves, many dogs struggle to return when distracted or excited. We teach a reliable, distraction-proof recall.

In-Home Dog Training vs Group Classes

Choosing between in-home dog training and group classes in Werribee can have a big impact on your dog’s behaviour, progress, and long-term results.

In-Home Dog Training   Group Dog Training Classes
Training happens in your dog’s real home environment   Training happens in a controlled class setting
Personalised one-on-one sessions   One trainer managing multiple dogs
Targets real-life issues like barking, guests & walks   Limited real-world scenario training
Faster results with tailored guidance   Slower progress due to group format
Flexible scheduling to suit you   Fixed class schedules
Ideal for behavioural issues & reactivity   Best suited for basic obedience & socialisation

Unlike group puppy classes, our in-home puppy training in Werribee focuses on real-life behaviour in your home.
