Dog Training Mill Park: The Best Solution for All Your Dog Training Needs
If you’re a dog owner in Melbourne’s suburbs, SitDropStay Dog Training in Mill Park 3082 is here to help. Our personalised approach is designed to provide you and your furry friend with the best possible experience. Here’s what sets us apart:
Behaviour-Focused Training That Works
True behaviour change comes from clarity, consistency, and emotional understanding, not from treats, clickers, or over-excited drills. Our approach teaches owners how to:
Recognise and respond to their dog’s emotional state
Communicate calmly and clearly, so the dog knows what’s expected
Reduce over-arousal and anxiety rather than amplify it
Build structure that dogs can relax into
This mindset-focused approach ensures that dogs choose better behaviour naturally, instead of simply following commands.
In-Home Training Tailored to Your Life
All our training in Mill Park is private, in-home, and lifestyle-based. Working where behaviour actually occurs allows us to:
Identify the triggers that matter most
Involve every family member in maintaining progress
Give practical strategies that integrate seamlessly into your day-to-day life
We train people as much as dogs. When owners know how to lead calmly and consistently, behaviour improves permanently.
Common Behaviour Challenges We Help With in Mill Park
Families in Mill Park often contact us for support with:
Anxiety, stress, or fear-driven behaviours
Reactivity to people, dogs, or other stimuli
Pulling, jumping, and poor impulse control
Over-excitement or inability to settle
Socialisation or confidence building
On-lead and off-lead manners
Our goal is to change the state of mind behind the behaviour, not just suppress the symptom.

Our tailored, in-home sessions show you exactly how to communicate with your dog in a natural, effective way — creating long-lasting cooperation and connection.
Our Dog Training Process
We start out with an introductory phone consultation with your Melbourne dog trainer, who will ask you some preliminary questions to find out what your individual needs are.
Our trainer will come out to your home, or other place of your choosing, to conduct an initial one on one session with you and your dog that is 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 right just 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.
Your Dog Trainer In Mill Park
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.
