Bring Out The Best In Your Dog
Our goal is to help you create a well-behaved and happy dog. A dog who is a joy to live with and take out and about. We will coach you, not just your dog. Arming you with the lifelong skills you need to effectively communicate and interact with them in your daily lifestyle. Dogs have a different heirarchy of needs to us. It is therfore vital for owners to learn how they perceive the world. We need to know what they need from us and their enviroment to find peace. Once you understand how to make the necessary (often subtle) changes to your relationship, behaviour, energy and communication you can then shape your dog’s behaviour and the resulting experience.
Why We Get Better Results
SitDropStay offer a holistic, natural and self empowering approach to training. One that looks at the whole picture and the root cause of your dog’s behaviour and training issues. This includes the overall dynamic, existing family members, relationships, identifying sources of stress, enrichment, emotional states, their history and whatever else we notice that may be relevant.
We believe that understanding how to influence your dog’s state of mind is far more important than teaching mechanical actions like sit or drop. There is absolutely no point in having a dog that can do a heap of tricks if they are still anxious, worried, jealous or lacking self control. Your dog’s emotional state and your ability to lead and control the environment effectively must come first if training is then going to be of value. Both is needed of course, but one without the other or done in the wrong order is usually a waste of time and often even counter productive.
Testimonials
“Fantastic. Our 7 month old Blue Heeler X was a rescue girl with what we suspect is an abusive past. She was extremely shy of humans to the point she would run backwards and forwards down the back of the garden like a wild dog and wouldn’t come near when a stranger came over. Along comes SitDropStay who spent a couple of hours with us. They explained everything in a way that was logical and made perfect sense. We implemented their suggestions and our girl is doing so well. We’ve had so many comments about what a difference they’ve seen since. Dog training and fixing problems isn’t that hard when it’s explained by someone who truly knows what they are talking about and also cares about the dogs. We’d recommend SitDropStay to anyone without any hesitation.”

Our Dog Behaviour And Dog Training Brisbane Specialist
Anna Hopkins
Anna always had a dog as part of her family growing up, developed a long lasting love of dogs as a result. Anna believes that understanding how to interact with your dog determines whether you share a beautiful, respectful connection, or the relationship is an unruly, out of control, challenge for everyone involved. When she met George and learnt about the SitDropStay dog whispering philosophy, it simply made sense as a practical, sensible and natural approach to establishing clear
communication between owners and their dogs.
