Top dog training tips for a healthy and happy pup!
I love dogs and being able to help people create a stronger connection with their pet is my favourite part of the job. Puppy training can be particularly rewarding as well!
I can offer everything from house training a puppy to teaching an adult how to complete an agility course in competition. I specialise in commands and being able to instruct owners on how to handle their pup, as well as teaching them how to better understand their dog. One of the more specialist aspects I train on is separation anxiety.
I believe I offer a great range, including home visits, group sessions, and private one-to-one instructor classes. I’m also happy meeting in a suitable public place such as a dog park. Working with you and your dog, we’ll create a routine that works perfectly.
I have earned qualifications from: the Kennel Club Accredited Instructors, Level 3 CPD Accredited Dog Training, Diploma in Dog Training, and more. I’ve also attended dozens of seminars hosted by leading trainers/behaviourists. I’m a full member of the Guild of Dog Trainers and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.

My family and I tried the virtual at home lessons for our dog Bruno and they were absolutely fantastic and worth the small investment. The cost is extremely low, Instead of paying $3000 To $6000 for boarding or having to take our dog to sessions every week or month and no support after. Our schedules are super hectic, they gave us a free assessment, we selected our program and we had pretty much 24 hour access to our behaviourist on a private chat, lessons each week and materials to go over at home. We really like the program because we got to do it ourselves and there was no rush. We had Bruno at a few trainers prior and it just didn’t work, besides we had no clue what we were doing. Thank you, Richard for all your help.

I had an incredible experience with Richard from Friendly K9! Initially, I reached out after receiving a training program offer through Bark, but I quickly realized it was outside of my budget. When I shared this with Richard, I was blown away by his response. Instead of pushing me away, he offered to send me a free emailed version of "13 Theories Into a K9's Mind," a training resource valued at $600. I reviewed the content right away, and after applying the techniques, I saw immediate improvements, especially with on-leash training. Richard’s approach not only helped me with practical tips, but his understanding of my financial situation made the entire experience feel incredibly personal and genuine. I can’t recommend Richard enough. His kindness, dedication, and support went above and beyond, and I’m deeply grateful for the difference he made in both my dog's behavior and my training experience!

I have currently only had 1 session with Mike so far and already I’m so impressed with him. Mike is extremely insightful and I already feel like I understand some of my dogs behaviour I have struggled with lately. I will continue with homework and his suggestions and get wait for our next session. Thank you for all your help so far Mike.
