Advance Behavioural Training aims to
give you the help and support needed
to produce a well mannered dog that
you can be proud of.

They know how to communicate to me and I know a lot of words and I can be affectionate and playful in a way they like and they massage my fur which feels great. They have also leant to give me great treats for my exemplary behaviour...of course. After a few play days at ABT I get on with the small dogs, the dogs like me and yes the BIG dogs too. I even keep Koda and Saaba’s new bro Mavro in line (he is one serious size pup- you should meet him)

Amy and the team at ABT have been a great support and as a testament to them we were even able to take Lily through the Level 1 obedience classes recently (something we never thought possible!) which she participated in fully and graduated from with honors.
We would really like to thank Amy and the team at ABT for being such a fantastic help to us. As a result of their hard work and dedication we have a much happier, healthier and more confident dog at home.

Sarge has gone from being anxious and nervous of vet checks to heading towards the right track of becoming an almost perfect patient, and Trinny has gone from barking and growling at a stuffed toy dog at her first visit to having a relaxing walk and some friendly cuddles with her new friend Koda at her latest. We are now also able to take Sarge and Trinny on regular walks with hardly any stress or troubles as we used to have prior to their training.

Amy's ability to quickly assess the behavioural training needs and to target those in a calm and methodical manner has yielded significant improvement in Tiger's demeanour. In addition to this, Amy has a range of classes to suit the needs of individual dogs & their handlers

I wish I had of been fortunate enough to have met Amy earlier than I did so that I could have dealt with her issues sooner. Amy was the first person to acknowledge that Xena did have mental health issues, validating all my concerns and observations. She was also Xena’s dog whisper’. Xena was not a naughty, attention seeking, poorly behaved dog (as many of my friends thought). She is an adorable, loving, affectionate dog looking to always please (this is what I get most days now).

We have a swimming pool and every chance he gets he jumps in and swims around. He is now more relaxed, and loves the kids even my youngest, often giving him kisses and always wagging his tail when we go outside. We often think back to how he was and comment on how far he has come. While there are things about his nature that we just accept, and possibly could never change, many positive changes were possible only with the help and dedication given to us and him by Amy. Thank you Amy we all love you.

I feel I have someone who is going to help Holly develop in to a normal dog who can be happy in the outside world. You provided more than a service to me, you have given me hope where I felt it was unresolvable, and you are on the end of the phone to help as well as being very flexible and supportive, you understand Holly and have developed a bond working with Holly and me to discuss and work through are problems.

We noticed a difference almost immediately by doing the training exercise's, plus we understood some of his actions and behaviour better.

When we adopted our wonderful boy Jax we were prepared for the long journey ahead, but never expected to achieve what we have now accomplished. With the help of Amy at ABT we learnt techniques that were achievable and worked around our hectic lifestyle plus were easy to apply.

We worked with Amy’s dogs Saaba, Koda and Mavro who helped Barney gain more confidence in himself and they also taught Barney how to behave more appropriately with other dogs. From one-on-one appointments, Barney was able to progress to classes and recently completed Level 1.

When we have been to see Amy a few times Cody has been for walks with Saaba and even lay on the floor near him. The occurrence of his smiles have greatly reduced. While he still suffers from anxiety it is great to see the improvement and we look forward to more training with Amy.

I just want to thank all involved in assisting me to train my dog. She is much better with the training, I know more work is to be done. Thanking you again.

We appreciated Amy's one on one session with us at our home this morning. It was fantastic! We all learnt so much! Amy was a wealth of knowledge and so lovely. We look forward to our puppy class starting soon!

Today Gus was off lead in the school grounds, having fun like a craxy dog, when I heard a car approaching fast. I asked Gus to stop, he turned towards me, sat and stayed for me to come to him. Every cent we have spent on training paid off in those 20 seconds. Thanks! We really appreciate your business and the people who are doing such a good job!

Thankyou so much for helping me with Merlin last night, I really appreciate the time and effort you gave me to help.

I am disappointed at the previous training methods taught to me and now thanks to you will be able to train him as I have been taught with previous dogs that I have had with a positive reinforcement twist but blended with consequences.

I think he will catch on early to the new boundaries as he is a very smart willfull boy.

Just wanted to say thanks for being so understanding and accommodating to Merlin and my needs.

Big thanks! Titan is a different dog today! To have him comfortable and snoozing and not even a flinch when noise was made was incredible! The massage made a huge difference too. Looking forward to starting classes.

Sammi became so relaxed she was ready to fall asleep! I am so very proud of how well she is doing! The class was so amazing and we had such a great time! Thankyou Amy and Suzi!

Thanks again for a teriffic day! I certainly didn't think I could get Kenz this relaxed in a class full of other dogs!

Thanks to Amy and her team at ABT, Diego can calm down in social situations much quicker and has improved his communication skills with other dogs. He absolutely loves going to doggy day care, and proudly graduated from the Level 1 Obedience class recently.

We cannot speak highly enough of Amy and her team at Advance Behavioural Training.
Amy and the ABT team have greatly contributed to Arnie being a happy well behaved dog.

Arnie has completed all levels of training with ABT and we enjoyed all of the classes.
The staff are always helpful supportive and gave us great advice.

The team at ABT have always listened to our concerns and given us advice whenever we have needed it. Amy and the girls have taught us how to read our dogs behaviour better than i could ever have imagined. Bruce's individual program has helped me have a realistic expectation of the training he needs and the timeline as well as subtle behaviours he might project and what they mean. The tips and training given to us has been manageable and simple. Whilst some days are more stressful than others, we can already see the benefits in Bruce and our household. I cannot thank the girls at ABT enough for their hard work and commitment to our dogs.

Our previous dogs , when walked , would always pull on their lead. I wanted to be able to walk Patti by myself without struggling.......this we can do but we learnt so much more. Classes are relaxed, supportive & friendly. We continue attending classes so we "keep on track" and improve on the skills we have already learnt.

I try and challenge Merlin's "human brain" with teaching tricks, he now can turn on and off lights through touch, rings a bell when he wants to go outside and put his toys away, with direct prompting, this is ongoing work in progress.

I credit ABT for teaching me to teach Merlin in a balanced training method.

We enrolled our Husky x Staffy Farley into ABT's puppy classes when he was 13 weeks old and he was the most disruptive puppy in class to say the least. We were definitely struggling with controlling him at home but we were completely amazed at the changes that occurred over the next few months, and extremely grateful with the extra one on one help that Amy gave Farley during the classes.
