Learning to control my energetic and strong minded Staffy wasn’t easy, but I saw definite improvement in Frankie’s behaviour over the 6 lessons. Basil helped to find just the right collar/halti that would help him become more responsive

SEAN IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I had a nervous and timid mini dachshund at the start of the program. But over the course Cleo came out of her shell and was happy to say hi to other dogs and there was a night and day difference to how she walks on leash now. Even when Cleo didn’t want to walk, Sean gave me the tools and tips to help get her walking again

Fabulous obedience classes. Thank you Sean for you patience and guidance over the six classes. I am now looking at enrolling Darcy in the intermediate classes.

We have attended Command Dog Training school for two courses and would highly recommend the programme.Vivienne, a poodle cross commenced the course as an extremely nervous, distracted dog, her confidence and obedience has improved considerably.We can recommend Basil for his caring and patient attitude.

Tucker (2yo Australian Shepherd) has been attending Command classes from Puppy School, to Basic, through to Intermediate and a side order of Agility. He loves it. The trainers are super and it has been brilliant for him to learn but also exercise his brain. He always knows when we are pulling up to Gasworks Park for training and can't wait to see his buddies and Basil. Likewise with Agility where he can catch up with buddies and test himself on the course. Highly recommend 👌🏽

My Springer and I have been attending training with the Command team for 18 Months, having been through obedience basic and intermediate levels we recently tried and can also recommend the formal agility classes. Weve worked with a number of the trainers and had nothing but good vibes and a great outcomes from their professional and personalised approach. The Command team are awesome... highly recommend their traning sessions!

We have had a lot of trouble with our 11 month old Border Collie. Scout has been continually jumping up, not being able to relax when we were around and just general disobedience.

As a result, we got Basil to come for a home visit. Basil helped us by setting the home for success, creating boundaries that Scout needs to follow. This was done through a range of exercises that helped her stay on her bed until giving permission to leave, no jumping on us or others, no entering the kitchen and walking on the leash without straining.

This visit from Basil has completely changed our relationship with Scout. She is much calmer and relaxed in the house, and as a result, is much more obedient.

We highly recommend Basil and Command dog school for helping your dog learn boundaries and follow rules.

In 2017, I did the basic trainging and Intermediate course with my two adult Rottweilers through Command Dog Training School. I found their instructors easy to talk to with great advice for all situations/circumstances. So when I adopted a new dog this year I knew it would be a good idea to book in for basic training with them again. And they have proven to be excellent again. Highly recommend.

We have taken our Aussiedoodle (Bubble) to Command classes in basic obedience and intermediate levels for about 9 months. It has been a wonderful way to socialise Bubble with heaps of lovely and diverse dogs. The sessions have taught her (and us!) some great skills and behaviours which have been reinforced and retained with practice and consistency over the weeks. Thanks to Basil for his inclusive and effective sessions - we have met some lovely new friends (furry and human) and all look forward to our time at school, followed by a lovely walk and coffee in Albert Park 🙂 The sessions are quite full every week lately (popular!) and I reckon Basil could do with a hand from another trainer now and again ...
