Welcome to SitDropStay
Dog Training Reservoir: Your Local Solution for All Your Dog Training Needs
Are you a dog owner in the suburbs of Melbourne looking for an effective dog training service? Look no further than SitDropStay Dog Training in Reservoir 3073! Our personalised and psychology-based approach is designed to provide you and your furry friend with the best possible experience. Here’s why we believe we can deliver:
Behaviour-Focused Training That Works
True behaviour change comes from clarity, calm, and consistency — not treats, clickers, or over-excited drills. In Reservoir, our training 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
Create structure that dogs can relax into
Dogs choose better behaviour naturally when the human side is steady and predictable.
In-Home Training for Real-Life Behaviour
All training is private and delivered in your home, where behaviour actually occurs. This approach allows us to:
Identify the triggers that matter most in your household
Involve every family member in creating lasting progress
Provide strategies that integrate naturally into your daily life
We focus on training the owner as much as the dog, ensuring improvements last well beyond the session.
Behaviour Challenges We Help Families With
Reservoir families often seek our support for:
Anxiety, fear, or stress-driven behaviours
Reactivity toward people or other dogs
Pulling, jumping, and poor impulse control
Over-excitement or inability to settle
Socialisation and confidence building
On-lead and off-lead manners
Instead of simply suppressing behaviours, we work to change the state of mind driving them.
Experienced Behaviour Specialists
Led by highly trained experts, SitDropStay teaches owners how to lead their dogs calmly and clearly. Our approach removes the need for treats or gimmicks — your energy and consistency create real, willing cooperation.
When owners change how they show up, behaviour naturally follows.
Reservoir is Part of Our Melbourne-Wide Service
Reservoir is included in our broader Dog Training Melbourne service area. This ensures every client benefits from proven methods, extensive experience, and access to specialist behaviour support across northern Melbourne suburbs.

If you’re ready to move past frustration and help your dog become calmer, more cooperative, and happier, contact SitDropStay today.
Our in-home, personalised sessions show you exactly how to communicate naturally with your dog, creating long-term cooperation and connection.
Our Dog Training Process
We start out with an introductory phone consultation with your local 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 Reservoir
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.
