Behaviour Modification Training
Create Real Behaviour Change, Not Just Obedience
We don’t do quick fixes. We help you understand your dog, build clear communication, and create lasting behaviour change in real life.
This is behaviour modification, not surface-level training. We work on changing the underlying emotional response driving the behaviour, helping your dog feel safer, calmer, and more regulated. That’s how we begin to rewire the brain and create change that actually sticks.
Our approach is personalised and structured, designed to build calm, clarity, and real-life skills you can rely on.
If you feel like your dog:
-
listens at home but not outside
-
gets overwhelmed or reactive around dogs or people
-
pulls, jumps, barks or struggles to settle
-
You’re not alone. And more importantly… your dog isn’t “bad”. They just need guidance that actually makes sense to them.
How it works
Behaviour Modification Package
$399 + GST
A structured, step-by-step behaviour modification plan designed to create real, lasting change. Each session builds on the last so we can properly address the root cause of your dog’s behaviour, not just manage the symptoms. We focus on clear communication, emotional regulation, and practical skills that carry over into real life.
Single Focus Session Option
$150 + GST per session
If your dog is already on the right track or you just need help with one specific area, a single session can be a great way to fine-tune things.
Please note: Single sessions are not suitable for reactivity, aggression, or more complex behaviour cases. These require a structured plan and ongoing support to create safe and lasting change.
Behaviour Modification Package - Session Breakdown
Step 1: Planning Session (Online)
Your starting point and where the real work begins.
Before this session, you’ll complete an in-depth intake form so I can understand your dog’s behaviour, history, and environment.
During the session, we will:
-
Break down what’s actually driving your dog’s behaviour
-
Identify patterns, triggers, and gaps
-
Set clear, realistic goals
-
Give you practical, actionable homework to start immediately
Step 2: Your Personalised Training Plan + In-Person Sessions
After your Planning Session, we’ll map out a personalised training plan tailored specifically to your dog.
You will:
-
Receive your customised training plan before your first in-person session
-
Have a clear outline of what we’re working on and why
-
Know exactly how the first session will run so you feel prepared and confident
Then we begin your in-person training:
-
2 x in-person sessions
-
Hands-on coaching to guide you through the plan in real life
-
Ongoing homework and support between sessions to keep progress moving

Our Approach
At Zoomies, we believe every dog is unique, and their training, care, and lifestyle should reflect that. We take the time to understand your dog’s personality, genetics, behaviours, and boundaries so we can create a plan that actually fits your dog and your life.
We don’t just train dogs, we guide owners too. When you understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour, everything starts to click, and that’s where real change happens.
Our approach is science-backed, relationship-focused, and built on trust, observation, and respect for your dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing.
No one-size-fits-all methods. No outdated dominance theories. Just thoughtful, personalised support to help your dog feel safe, learn clearly, and thrive.

Our Mission
After working with hundreds of dogs across the world, our founder Lisa Telle discovered one thing was always true: Dogs thrive when their training, adventure and nutrition needs are met in a way that feels natural, respectful and fun. Zoomies was born from that belief. Since then Lisa has built a team of empathetic, intuitive trainers who share her commitment to improving the well-being, behaviour and happiness of every dog we meet. Our mission is to help dogs and their humans build a life they genuinely love together: one that strengthens the bond, nurtures trust and honours the unique relationship you share. We’re here to walk alongside you, educate and empower you and celebrate the joy of living in sync with your dog.
This may not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for a quick or instant solution
You’re not able to follow through with homework or consistency
You’re wanting training done for you, rather than with you
