Some of our happy K9 friends

“After completing the puppy program with our first dog; we knew exactly what to do when we got our 2nd puppy—black Lab, Blu. Ziggy has a well structured and logical approach with both puppies and their parents’ well-being at the heart of every aspect. Beginning with an understanding that for success, pet-parents need to fulfil all basic needs; so what follows on from there is easy and do-able. I loved the fact that Ziggy endorsed individual lifestyle preferences such as letting dogs sleep on beds, or sit on couches; or not—depending on your choice. I especially loved the way the program sets you and your puppy up for success. Ziggy, Blu and I can’t thank you enough.”

“We completed a private program with our boy Marshall, after training methods taught to us by another company felt wrong and weren’t working. Zigrid totally opened our eyes to canine lingo and helped us understand what Marshall ACTUALLY needs from us. We received so much information from Zigrid and Marshall’s changed behaviours are the proof she knows exactly what she’s talking about! Zigrid was always quick to respond to any questions we had along the way. You can tell she has a genuine passion for dogs and for educating their humans on how to give their fur-babies the best life possible! We will be forever grateful to you Zigrid and thank you for doing what you do.”

Zigrid Phillips
Qualified Behavioural Dog Training Specialist

Zigrid, a dedicated and passionate dog-lover and behavioural dog training specialist, practising in Brisbane, has developed this online program in a response to assist more dogs and dog owners.

After almost two decades of unwavering research, dedication, and perseverance, Zigrid finally stumbled upon a different type of training method; one that changed the way she would deal with these beloved creatures forever.

You see, to Zigrid, it’s so much more than just “dog training”. Zigrid believes that we should not teach dogs “what” to think, but rather “how” to think, which is why she has carefully crafted a technique that rewards dogs for a job well done, ultimately strengthening the relationship between dog and owner. Zigrid is currently the proud K9 parent of Ryda Boy (Kelpie x). Zigrid’s dogs are always her inspiration and reason for being.
