Private Lessons

At The K9 Protocol, we believe that the most effective training happens when we focus entirely on the unique dynamic between you and your dog. Our private lessons are designed to move at your pace, addressing specific goals with a level of detail that group environments simply cannot provide.
Whether you are working with a high-drive working breed or a companion, we offer two distinct formats to suit your training needs.

Option 1: Mobile Private Lessons (We Come to You)
Real-world problems require real-world solutions. Our mobile service is designed to address behaviours in the environments where they actually occur—your home, your neighbourhood, or your local park.

Environmental Troubleshooting: Perfect for addressing "home-based" issues like door manners, territoriality, or reactivity during your daily walk.

Contextual Training: We help you navigate the specific distractions and triggers your dog faces every day.
Convenience: Professional coaching that fits into your lifestyle, delivered directly to your doorstep.

Option 2: Lessons at The K9 Protocol HQ
For those seeking maximum precision and focus, our HQ lessons take place at our purpose-built facility in the Macedon Ranges. By removing the "white noise" of the home environment, we can dive deep into the mechanics of your training.

The Controlled Environment: Our facility allows us to dial distractions up or down with total control, making it the ideal setting for building rock-solid foundations.

Specialised Equipment & Setup: Gain access to our professional infrastructure, including our brand-new, secure training areas designed for safety and focus.

Precision Training: HQ lessons are perfect for high-drive engagement work, competition foundations, or intense neutralisation training where every repetition counts.

What to Expect
Regardless of the location, every lesson is a "train the trainer" session. We focus on:

The Mechanics: Improving your timing, reward delivery, and leash handling.

The "Why": Understanding the psychology behind your dog’s drive and behaviour.

The Roadmap: You leave every lesson with a clear set of "homework" objectives to maintain progress until our next meeting.

Master the leash. Understand the drive. Lead the protocol.
