In Home Training Packages
Simple Costing - Different Structures for each Dog
Whats in each package
We are changing the way we do our pricing to make it simpler for you. All our packages come with additional video content to help you at home when the trainer is not there so that you can remember what to do. You will get homework to practice and our training is very hands on so you know exactly what to do. We don't sit there for an hour wasting time talking to you - We show you what to do.
The biggest change is rather than having a prescribed fit of training sessions the trainers will work out what is the best solution for your individual situation. So out of a 4 hour time package this may be a 2x 1 hour lesson 3 x 30 minute lessons and a 30min phone call. The package will be what suits you best. It also means that instead of where we may usually train you may want to specifically go to markets or cafes - these will be unique to your own needs and circumstances.
We don't do "assessments" - Why? - because we don't want to waste your time. We ask a lot of information prior to the visit and then it only takes about 15mins to work out what is going on once we have eyes on the situation. Many Many years of experience and handling dogs and study gives us this ability. From this point it is teaching you how to fix the situation and maintain it so it does not happen again. We are about affordable Pet Care.
We do not charge extra for multiple dogs in the same household. Please note to take advantage of any package deals payment in Full must be done before the first lesson - All trainers have Credit Card facilities for ease of payment.
We now offer Payment plans via Afterpay which is accessed via our online shop.
If you live in an apartment complex please ensure there is parking available or we may not be able to do the lesson.
We do everything we can to assist you but ultimately it comes down to you the human to want to fix the situation. If you are not prepared to do as we ask you will not get the results we know you can. There is no magical pill - just hard work and dedication to your family member - the Dog.
If you require extra assistance we also have our Club membership where you can get assistance post training.

We have designed a pack to help you in this process. Our Doggy Rental Resume provides you with the training and then proof in a resume format for a future landlord that your dog is the better option for a rental. At the end of the course you will be assessed and videoed as proof your dog can do the tasks. This will be on a USB for you and a resume to go with it showing what your dog can do. You get one of our training folders all of this can be put into. Within this page is an example of the Cover letter and resume that we will do for you as part of this pack. However if at the end of the training you have not done your part and cannot achieve what is required then unfortunately we will not lie and fake a resume for you. The point of the videos is to be able to provide real estate agents with proof for you.
You will get access to our training videos in conjunction with the in home training component through this process, as well as support from our team as needed.
So what do we cover? At the end of this your dog will be required to:
* Go to a mat/bed and be able to self settle without being told to settle.
* Be able to be crate trained.
* Be able to sit calmly outside of an open door and not enter until told.
* Be able to be calm when visitors arrive and not jump on external glass doors or screens.
* Be able to sit, drop and have recall around the house.
This will be done over 3 x 1hr lessons, spread out over a number of weeks so you have time to practice. Once your dog can successfully complete each task we will then video the task to put with your doggy resume. On successful completion we will give you a USB with these files on and your completed resume and cover letter.
Should it be required you can purchase more lessons to ensure your dog passes.
We offer afterpay as an option as well. The price includes time required to do up your resume and price of USB and time to load files.
What is a pet resume?
A pet resume, similar to a resume you would create for a job application, is a summary of your pet’s best qualities. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate that you are a responsible owner and your pet won’t cause any problems.
Many pet-friendly properties require a pet resume. Even if it’s not required, sending one in with your application will put you in good standing with the landlord or property manager. This document can also be helpful if you are trying to persuade a property owner that currently has a no pet policy.
Why do you need a pet resume?
When writing your resume, it’s important to keep in mind the reasons why property managers would be hesitant to accept pets. Be sure to acknowledge that your pet will not do any of the following:
Disruption to the neighbourhood
A barking dog can be disruptive to the neighbourhood. This is especially true in a small apartment complex environment. The property manager doesn’t want to deal with complaints from your neighbours.
Pets can bring diseases
If not properly cleaned and cared for, animals can carry diseases or unwanted insects. These unwelcome guests, such as fleas, can spread throughout the property. Be sure to include a health summary to show your pet is clean and cared for.
Damage to property
Landlords want to protect their property investment. Having a pet in the home often adds to additional wear and tear. They also require a deeper clean when you move out.
What to include on a pet resume
Including all of these basics will ensure you have a well-rounded resume for your landlord or property manager to review. We also add a Pet Cover letter.
Photo
A picture can be worth a thousand words. Include a playful photo of your pet on the resume so the property manager can fall in love with them. You may want to choose one that shows they get along with kids or seniors. A cute photo might be enough to convince them you’re a good fit for the property.
Name
Introduce your pet by their name. If for some reason the name is crude or offensive by nature, you may want to make up a different name for the resume.
Age
Include your dog’s age on the resume. Keep in mind the property manager might be more willing to let your pet stay if they are fully grown rather than a puppy.
Breed
Listing a breed is especially important if you have a dog. Be aware if there are any restrictions depending on jurisdictions. If your dog is on the list, consider setting up an in-person meeting with the property manager so they can get to know your dog.
Weight and size
Another important consideration is the weight and size of your pet. The pet’s size indicates how much damage they can do on the property. Not knowing your pet’s temperament, this is often the main item your property manager will consider.
Sex
Include the sex of your pet. This shouldn’t impact the property manager’s decision, but it helps give them a better overview of your pet.
Health
Give a brief history of health. This should include if your pet was spayed or neutered and what shots and vaccines they have received. The property manager may also ask for proof of vaccines. If you don’t have a copy on hand, you can get one from your vet. A healthy pet is less likely to bring diseases into the apartment.
Some questions to consider:
-
Has your pet been spayed or neutered?
-
Does your pet have their vaccines and shots?
-
Has your pet had any health issues in the past?
Training and skills
Have you taken your dog to training classes? Does your cat respond to your commands? Be sure to include all your pet’s training and skills. If you plan to keep attending a training course, include this as well. Landlords and property managers love a well-behaved pet.
Some questions to consider:
-
Has your pet graduated from a training class?
-
Does your pet have any special skills?
-
Is your pet part of a therapy pet program?
-
Has your pet spent time with sick children or others in need?
About section
In this part of the resume, you can explain your relationship with your pet. Be sure to include how long you’ve owned them if they have lived in an apartment before if they are an indoor or outdoor pet if they shed, what their favorite pastime is and what you love most about them.
Some questions to consider:
-
How long have you owned your pet?
-
Did your pet have a previous owner?
-
Is your pet adopted?
-
Does your pet shed?
-
Is your pet an indoor or outdoor pet or both?
-
What’s your pet’s favorite pastime?
-
What’s your pet’s biggest fear?
Care routine
Explain your care routine so your property manager knows they will be well cared for. Include your usual routine.
Some questions to consider:
-
Do you take them to a pet daycare?
-
Do you walk them in the morning and at night?
-
Where do you plan on taking your pet to exercise in the new neighborhood?
-
How often do they get groomed?
-
How often are they given a bath?
-
Do you have a bedtime routine?
-
Is your pet microchipped?
-
Who cares for your pet when you are away at work, school or vacation?
References
It’s always helpful to have others to back up everything you’ve stated on your resume. Get in contact with these people ahead of time so they are expecting a call. Some references include a past landlord, pet sitter, veterinarian or neighbour.
Your name and contact information
Last but not least, be sure to include your full name and contact information in case your pet resume gets separated from your rental application.
