We live in a world full of dogs with behavioural problems. From barking to biting and everything in between, SOS Dogs can help.

We work with you in your own home, so we can get to the root cause of the problem and help your dog learn where the behaviour is actually happening - and you learn how to keep it on track for life.

How we can help

A woman and a man with a brown dog are standing on a porch, practicing a training command with the dog. The woman is wearing a black hat, bright green athletic shirt, and black pants, while the man is dressed in a blue checkered shirt and beige pants. The woman is holding a yellow leash and appears to be giving commands, while the man watches attentively.

Four people, two women and two men, standing outdoors in a park with many dogs. The people are wearing white and green shirts with a logo that says 'SAS Dogs.' The dogs are a variety of breeds and sizes, some sitting and some standing on the grass. The background includes trees, a fenced area, a small pavilion, and picnic tables, with bright sunlight and clear skies.

SOS Dogs exists to help create a world full of well behaved, happy, social dogs - and that starts with educating their humans. We teach you to communicate in a way your dog understands, so good behaviour lasts long after the consultation ends.

We use balanced training: rewarding the behaviour you want, removing the unwanted behaviour you don't, and always working with your dog's emotional state. You will never see e-collars, prong collars or shock collars in our work, and no matter your dog's age, it is never too late to start.

We train you, so your dog's good behaviour lasts

  • "Kevin (the way too cute Groodle puppy!) has improved his lead skills ten fold, his manners are now calm and (almost) courteous, he is happier, we're happier - and all this from a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon."

    — Bruce, with Kevin the Groodle

  • "After just 1 session I have already seen amazing results with my pooch who is 2 and was struggling greatly with separation anxiety and general naughtiness. Goes to show you can teach an old dog new tricks, and respect."

    — Dominique

  • "Jo had my reactive dog under control in 3 seconds, which was just amazing to see. Jo identified everything I'm doing that is contributing to my dog's overall anxiety and taught me the right attitude I should have as a dog owner."

    — Kaycee, with her Boston Terrier

  • "Best money we've ever spent. We thought our dog had no hope at ever being better behaved. Within 15 minutes of meeting Jo, she was a changed dog. And Jo has given us the tips and tricks to make long lasting changes."

    — Hayley

  • "We had a home consult with Jo to work through some issues we were having with our 3 year old Golden Retriever. Jo was so knowledgeable and patient. We learnt so much and the difference in our pup was immediately noticeable."

    — Casey

  • "She really took the time to understand my dog Peanut and what we were struggling with and made everything feel simple and doable. I noticed such a difference so quickly, not just in my dog's behaviour but in how confident I felt handling things."

    — Liberte, with Peanut
