We’ll guide you through the best program for your dog and help you secure a time that suits your schedule.
Our qualified dog trainers take a balanced training approach, meaning we use a thoughtful mix of positive reinforcement and clear, consistent guidance to help dogs understand what’s expected of them.
Every dog learns differently, so we tailor our methods to suit their personality, confidence levels and natural instincts.
Our goal is always to teach in a way that’s effective, kind and easy for both dogs and owners to continue at home.
Our Stay & Train service combines professional dog training with the comfort and fun of a resort stay.
While your dog enjoys either their holiday with us or the day away at doggy daycare, our trainers can work with them continuously on tailored skills such as obedience, manners or behaviour support.
It’s a practical option for busy families and a great way for dogs to learn in a structured and low-stress environment.
Training works best when it becomes part of your dog’s everyday life.
We create a strong foundation during your sessions with us, but long-term progress depends on consistency at home, just like building healthy habits for yourself.
Think of it like fitness, one great session sets you in the right direction, but ongoing practice is what brings lasting change.
We’re here to guide you every step of the way so you and your dog can keep growing together.
Rewards are an important part of learning, especially in the early stages when your dog is building understanding and confidence.
Over time, most dogs transition from frequent rewards to more occasional reinforcement, but positive acknowledgment will always matter.
Just like people appreciate being recognised for their effort, dogs thrive when they know they’re doing the right thing.
Training is currently available at several of our resorts, including Pet Resorts Australia Dural and Terrigal in NSW, and Pet Resorts Australia Townsville and Samford in QLD.
We also offer Stay & Train programs and professional in-stay training at select New South Wales and Queensland locations, with more training options being added as our programs expand.
Availability may vary, so it’s always best to check with your chosen resort.
