Council Order Training

Accredited Training & Behaviour Support in South Australia

If your dog has been issued with a council order — such as a Barking Dog Order, Nuisance Dog Order, Menacing Dog Order, or Dangerous Dog Order — you are legally required to engage with a qualified professional to address the behaviour concerns.

I am an Accredited Trainer with the Dog and Cat Management Board of South Australia, offering a specialised program that meets council requirements and supports positive change for your dog.

✅Accredited. Experienced. Compassionate.

With years of experience supporting dogs and their families through behavioural challenges, I use evidence-based, force-free methods to help improve safety, wellbeing, and quality of life — for both you and your dog.

The Council Order Training Program Includes:

🐾 Four x 1-Hour Consults
Your program is designed to meet council requirements while giving you the tools to support your dog’s progress:

1️⃣ Session 1: Online Intake (via Microsoft Teams)
A link will be sent to you a few days before your appointment. In this first session, I’ll:

• Take a detailed history of your dog

• Discuss effective management strategies to prevent behaviours from escalating

• Explore supplements that may support emotional wellbeing

• Begin foundation training to prepare for our in-person work

Holding this session online allows us to focus on your dog’s behaviour without placing them in a potentially stressful or overwhelming situation, setting the stage for a calmer and more effective start to training.

Following the Online Intake, you’ll also receive a written, personalised training plan tailored to your dog’s needs.

2️⃣–4️⃣ Three In-Person Sessions (at your home or nearby)
Each one-hour session focuses on:

• Reviewing progress and celebrating wins

• Troubleshooting challenges as they arise

• Implementing personalised behaviour modification strategies

• Building new skills to support your dog’s ongoing development

📄 Written Council Report
A formal report prepared for your local council, documenting progress, risk mitigation strategies, and compliance with training requirements.

🎽 “Give Me Space” Dog Bandana
A simple way to promote safer interactions while your dog is in training.

Total Cost: $650

📎 Ongoing Council Communication

If needed, I can liaise directly with your local council to confirm that a behaviour management plan is in place, training has commenced, and progress is being made. Reports are professionally written and aligned with what councils typically request.
