Testimonials
We are beyond impressed!!!! The VALUE we uncovered in our session was incredible.. Every dog will be different no doubt, but in just one session we established the ground rules at home and did a walking on lead session. Our boy is a massive pain on the lead, and we have tried everything to correct this. Literally in 10 minutes our boy Olly was walking next to us like he’d been doing it his whole life.We are super excited for the future! .- Joel Smith– Reviewed SDS Dog Training Canberra
Thank you so much, what a transformation for my little sausage, Rodney! He is so much more relaxed and the household is extremely calm, for once. Made a massive difference when dealing with some urgent family matters. I have mentioned you to a few of my friends. Thank you! Sal R – reviewed SDS Dog Training Canberra
Here are some important points of difference between what we offer and what most other training organisations offer.
- We focus on creating a calm and co-operative dog
- Rather that focusing on using treats we empower you to to use your voice, body language and energy to naturaly manage and direct your dog
- The state of mind your dog is in when it receives a reward is more important to us than their physical action
- We do not train in “drive” or “high energy” as this is conterproductive for a family dog
- Our training is personalised and based on your dogs specific needs and temperament
- No unnecessary training that you will never use in your day to day life
- We use the language your dog understands
- Leadership and connection are emphasised as a powerful tool can change your dog’s behaviour and result in a more successful relationship.

How We Work
We start out with an introductory phone consultation with our SDS Dog Training Canberra trainer, who will ask you some preliminary questions to find out what your individual needs are.
Our specialist will come out to your home, or other place of your choosing. Your initial two hour one on one session with you and your dog will be tailored to your specific needs. Taking into consideration your current lifestyle, who else is in the family, your dog’s temperament and the outcome that you want to achieve, they will put together a formula that’s just right for you.
If further consultations are required, we will come back and address any continuing issues and ensure that you have all the tools you need for a rewarding relationship with your dog based on loving leadership and true connection.

Hi, I’m Dimitri and I am stoked to represent SitDropStay in Canberra.
How I ended up here is a little different from the rest of the Sit Drop Stay team. I had always felt an affinity for dogs, however, when I was growing up, our family dogs lived outside. Whenever my parents couldn’t find me and whenever possible, I was usually outside with the dogs. But, I certainly never pictured myself working with dogs.
I was in my early 30s when Heidi, who belonged to my partner at the time, entered my life. Heidi, a pit/border collie mix, was not only sweet and sassy, she was silly and wise. She changed me irrevocably. Not only did she convince me that dogs belong inside with the family, but Heidi also helped me understand dogs on a level I never knew existed. She showed me that dogs can teach us a lot about ourselves. Heidi taught me about unconditional love and reminded me constantly about the joy of living in the moment.
I am fascinated by the human/canine connection and it has been my passion to help those around me experience what I have. I have spent many years helping friends with their dogs before commencing my training with Sit Drop Stay. My passion is helping my clients form a deeper connection with their K9 companions
