You may have:
It’s about understanding what’s really going on — and having someone guide you through it clearly.
This is where most training approaches fall short — and where the right guidance makes all the difference.
All training is done in your home or local environment — where your dog’s behaviour actually happens.
This allows us to:
Many clients notice a shift in their dog’s behaviour during the very first session.
At SitDropStay, we don’t just train behaviour — we help you understand it.
Your dog’s behaviour is their solution to something they are experiencing.
When you understand that, everything changes.
Rather than relying on mechanical training or surface-level techniques, we focus on:
This is why our results last — because we address the cause, not just the symptom.

You leave with a clear plan and continued guidance if needed
George Lygidakis has been training and rehabilitating dogs throughout Australia for over 35 years. A former police dog handler and trainer, George went on to specialise in dog behaviour, psychology, and the human–dog relationship.
Alarmed by the rise of anxious, overstimulated, and misunderstood dogs — and the misinformation surrounding dog training — George developed a system that is simple, natural, holistic, and effective.
His core realisation was this:
We are the source of our dog’s behaviour.
This insight forms the foundation of SitDropStay’s unique training system — one that delivers consistent, lasting results without gimmicks, force, or dependency on food rewards.
Behaviour change begins with understanding. That’s why all work with SitDropStay starts with an in-depth behaviour consultation.
These sessions are longer and more comprehensive than standard training appointments, allowing time to observe your dog, understand their environment, and explore the underlying causes of the behaviour you’re experiencing. You’ll leave with clarity around what’s driving the behaviour, practical guidance you can apply immediately, and a clear path forward.
Follow-up sessions are available where needed and are tailored to support ongoing change, refine understanding, and adjust structure as your dog progresses.
“We are considered by many to be leaders in the field of dog training but on several occasions with both work and home dogs I have used George’s services because his general knowledge of animal behaviour far outstrips ours.”

“Sitdropstay has changed our lives. It was amazing to watch within the space of minutes our usually boisterous, unruly dogs doing anything George told them. After the 2 hour consult we had dogs who wanted to listen to us. It was truly an enlightening experience.”
