Training At Ashbrooke

"Over the years, my love for dogs and focus on breeding sound, confident temperaments has naturally grown into a passion for training. I’ve seen first-hand how much happier and more relaxed dogs (and owners!) can be when there’s clear, kind communication, and that’s what I want to help others achieve.

As I complete my Cert IV in Animal Behaviour and Training through the Delta Institute, I’m excited to announce that I will start offering force-free, reward-based training here at Ashbrooke.
These programs will be designed to support every stage of your dog’s journey, from setting up good foundations with puppies to building focus and confidence in older dogs.

Training at Ashbrooke will focus on creating understanding and partnership between you and your dog, using science-backed, positive methods that make learning enjoyable for both of you.

We’ll be offering training not only to our Ashbrooke families who take home puppies, but also to anyone who wants to strengthen their bond and communication with their dog. Whether you’re just starting out with a new puppy or looking to bring out the best in an older companion, there’s a place for you here.

Details on upcoming classes and private training options will be shared soon. I can’t wait to begin this next chapter and help more dogs and their people thrive together." — Max, Founder of Ashbrooke
