Welcome to SitDropStay Melbourne
Dog Behaviour Training Melbourne
Dog Psychology And Dog Behaviour Experts
Barking, reactivity, anxiety and aggression etc, are not training problems.
They are behaviour problems.
And dog behaviour doesn’t change through training commands alone.
This page is for those you who are struggling with dog behaviour issues and need a deeper dive into what is really going on for their dog.
Rod was AMAZING (which is an understatement). Super kind and friendly which made us feel relaxed instantly. He was professional and patient with a gentle approach. ★★★★★ Jessica Cupid – Melbourne
Dog Behaviour Training Melbourne — A Different Approach
Most dog behaviour training in Melbourne still focuses on managing symptoms — teaching commands, redirecting behaviour, or trying to control situations.
But when the underlying cause isn’t addressed, the behaviour often returns.
That’s why our approach to dog behaviour training in Melbourne is different. We focus on what’s driving the behaviour, not just what the dog is doing.
This Is Not General Dog Training
This page is for dogs where the behaviour keeps coming back. Where training hasn’t worked. Where the issue feels deeper than obedience or simple commands.
If you’re looking for general dog training, puppy training or everyday guidance, visit our Dog Training Melbourne page.
But if your dog’s behaviour hasn’t improved — or keeps returning — this is where we approach things differently.
Real Behaviour Change Starts Beneath the Surface
Most behaviour issues are not about what your dog is doing. They are about why your dog is doing it.
Dogs don’t just respond to commands. They respond to the environment created around them — your clarity, your consistency, your emotional state, and the overall experience you bring into each interaction.
When these become stable, behaviour begins to settle. When they’re not, behaviour problems tend to repeat.
That’s why adding more training often doesn’t solve the issue.
What We Help With
We specialise in dog behaviour training in Melbourne for more complex and ongoing issues, including:
- Dog aggression (towards people or other dogs)
- Reactivity on walks
- Anxiety and nervous behaviour
- Over-arousal and lack of control
- Dogs that don’t respond despite previous training
- Behaviour patterns that keep returning
A More Effective Way to Change Behaviour
We don’t rely on:
- Treat dependency
- Surface-level obedience
- Managing behaviour without changing it
Instead, our dog behaviour training in Melbourne focuses on:
- Creating a calm, stable state of mind
- Clear direction and boundaries
- Strengthening your relationship with your dog
- Changing the conditions that create the behaviour
Because when the underlying state changes, the behaviour changes with it.
Why Many Melbourne Dog Owners Come to Us Last
Many of our clients come to us after trying other dog trainers in Melbourne without success.
Not because they didn’t try hard enough, but because the approach didn’t address the real issue.
When the focus shifts from controlling behaviour to understanding and influencing it properly, things begin to change — often more quickly than expected.

Rod Sinclair
My parents would never let me have a dog, despite me asking again and again. Then one day, at 10 years of age, I came home with a puppy, determined to care for him myself, and the rest is history.
In a strange twist of fate, my father became a senior officer of the Victorian Police Dog Squad; time spent with these animals nurtured what would become a lifelong passion and affinity for dogs.
Life has taken me on many adventures and career paths both in Australia and internationally, including several years working as a massage therapist in conjunction with a renowned doctor of natural therapies, when I found a natural ability for communicating with a wide variety of people on intellectual, emotional and spiritual levels.
I’ve always felt that you need to have faith in your journey. Fortunately, my journey bought me to George, who has given me the opportunity to do what I love everyday – help people and their dogs.
