Helping you enjoy life with your pet.
Explore our comprehensive range of puppy and dog training classes, carefully designed to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether you’re raising a new puppy or working with an adult dog, our expert-led classes offer something for every stage of training. Discover how we can help your dog become well-behaved, confident, and happy while strengthening the bond between you and your furry friend. Dive into the details below and find the perfect class for your pup!
Our goal is to enhance the quality of life for you and your pets, ensuring a harmonious and happy home. If you’re facing challenges like leash pulling, lunging, jumping, excessive barking, or digging, we're here to help with personalised, one-on-one training sessions. We understand that each pet’s needs are unique, so we bring training directly to your home or to a location that best suits the specific behaviours to be addressed. With our expert guidance, you’ll see lasting improvements, helping you enjoy a more balanced and fulfilling relationship with your dog.
Some behavioural issues require a more intensive approach than standard training can offer. Our comprehensive two-hour in-home or Zoom consultation enables us to assess these concerns fully and create a detailed, written action plan to address problem behaviours. Follow-up consultations, lasting 45 to 60 minutes, provide ongoing support to ensure progress. If the problem is serious and medication is necessary, we’ll connect you with trusted veterinary behaviour specialists for expert guidance.
Our group dog training classes provide the perfect environment for social adolescent dogs, adult dogs needing additional training, and puppies who benefit from socialisation. Designed to encourage positive social interactions, these classes offer valuable training for dogs of all ages and experience levels. Give your dog the skills they need to thrive in social settings while reinforcing good behaviour and obedience.
Our Puppy Training Lessons are specially crafted to give your puppy the best start in life, helping them grow into a confident, well-behaved dog. With a focus on foundational skills, socialisation, and early obedience, our classes teach essential behaviours such as sit, stay, and recall, while also addressing common puppy challenges like chewing, biting, and house training. Each session provides a positive, safe environment where your puppy can socialise with other dogs, learn good manners, and build their confidence. We're experienced in working with puppies of all breeds and temperaments, ensuring a customised approach that suits your puppy’s unique personality and developmental needs.

We first met Kirane, from Pawz for Thought, at Cessnock Dog Club when we took our Dobermann puppy, Willow. Willow was my daughter's first puppy and we wanted help positively training her right from the start. My daughter and Willow have been progressing every week learning and practising new skills and more important positive behaviours and reinforcement. They both have put into practise all the lessons learnt which enabled them both to go up 3 levels at Dog Club. Their aim is to compete in Rally O when Willow is old enough. We couldn't have progressed so well without having Kirane's instruction every week. Thank you Kirane.

I first met Kirane when I needed a dog trainer to help me with my dog Bear being too excited. In the time I have had Kirane training me with Bear, he has progressed dramatically week after week.

I met Kirane through Cessnock Dog Club with my young cattle dog, Lacey. What I thought was a confident dog, turned out her behaviour was anything but confident. With lots of strategies, challenges and training tricks, Lacey is now a really confident girl and is always so happy to see Kirane and greets all her trainers individually. Thanks Kirane, love your positive attitude, support and ongoing encouragement to compete and do what we love.
