Behaviour Consultations

Understanding that each dog is an individual and every family situation is unique, our qualified animal behaviour consultant – Emily Dustan – offers personalised consultations to address specific behavioural challenges. She specialises in addressing complex behavioural issues such as anxieties (separation anxiety, generalised anxiety), reactivity, fear-based behaviours, and defensive aggression, as well as compulsive behaviours. Emily uses scientifically supported methods to build your dog’s confidence and create positive associations, equipping you with the skills to manage your dog and their environment. This significantly improves the quality of life for both you and your dog.

Dog Training

At See Spot Learn, we are firm believers in positive reinforcement training. We address common ‘nuisance’ behaviours like excessive barking, leash pulling, jumping up, chewing, and not coming when called, with our specialised training practices and programs. We aim to equip you with the knowledge and methods needed to understand your dog better, helping you to teach your dog the life skills they are missing, and learn how to manage their undesired behaviours more effectively. Our approach helps create a more peaceful and enjoyable home environment for everyone.

Puppy Training Classes

Start off on the right foot with our expert-designed puppy classes. We teach you how to effectively manage the environment to set your puppy up for success. Proper introductions to new experiences and confidence-building are key focuses, alongside social interactions that lay the foundation for a happy adult dog.

Adapting to life with a new puppy can be overwhelming, but our interactive classes make it easier. We are not just about training— it’s about learning how to live your life with your new family member. Our activities are designed for you and your puppy to learn as a team and our qualified, experienced trainers ensure a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone. It’s an ideal setting for your puppy to grow, and for you and your whanau to learn together, making early education a pivotal part of your puppy’s development.

Dog Grooming

Your dog’s coat requires lifelong maintenance. At our grooming service in Mt Albert, we schedule individual appointments to ensure your dog doesn’t feel overwhelmed—many dogs find the presence of multiple others stressful during grooming. Our approach is tailored and reward-based, designed to minimize stress from your dog’s perspective. What sets us apart are our qualifications in animal behaviour and our commitment to positive, reward-based methods. We provide ample rest breaks, yummy treats, and personalised care. Recognizing that every dog has unique needs and preferences, we customize our grooming process to ensure your dog’s comfort and well-being.

Dog Walking

Add joy to your dogs day and alleviate boredom with our Dog Walking and Enrichment Service. It goes beyond a simple walk, we engage your dog’s senses and mind, providing a stimulating experience that combines exercise with mental engagement. Our trained walkers explore varied routes, incorporate basic training, interactive games, and introduce sensory stimuli to keep your dog curious, happy and mentally engaged. With a focus on holistic well-being, our Dog Walking and Enrichment Service ensures that every outing is an adventure that nurtures both your dog’s body and mind.
