About The Complete Canine

A dog trainer on the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast, based at 103 Voyager Drive in Gulf Harbour, Whangaparāoa, which works where problems happen: in parks, on streets, outside cafes and at the front gate, not only in a training room. The trainer helps with leash pulling, reactivity, recall and manners, and with dogs of any age or history.

Services include puppy foundations for dogs under six months, intensive trainer-led programmes for reactivity, aggression and obedience, one-on-one coaching in the owner's home, and small group classes. Group classes include puppy school and cover obedience, focus, leash skills and engagement. Each package comes with written handouts and training frameworks. The trainer uses positive reinforcement in every session, along with fair corrections where needed, and tools such as harnesses or slip leashes are chosen for each dog. A muzzle is used when needed, and the first sessions focus on building trust and avoiding known triggers. Enquiries are made through the contact form.
