What is a Home Consultation?

Home Consultations are one on one sessions with one of our Nationally Accredited Trainers, carried out at your home address.

Our Home Consultations are tailored to suit your needs and wants for your canine companion. We can help you set realistic goals and start taking the necessary steps to reach them.

A Home Consultation can be a great option for clients that cannot make it to our onsite training centres at either Terrigal (Central Coast), or Dural (Sydney). Our trainers may also recommend a Home Consultation for environment specific behaviours which may not be displayed at our onsite training centres. We are also able to cover a vast area around our listed locations, with our trainers being able to travel to you at a time that suits you.

Sessions run for approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on the training problem being addressed, with the initial consultation focusing on allowing our trainers to gain an in depth understanding of your training issues, and most importantly your goals.

When our dogs went from best friends to not getting along, we were desperate for help. Lee from the Terrigal branch came in with a professional yet empathetic approach, giving us the hard truth to set our expectations and set us up for success. His honesty was exactly what we needed, and it was delivered in a way that made us feel supported rather than discouraged.By the end of our session, we had a clear plan on our next steps and actionable strategies to improve our dogs' relationship and our everyday living. Lee’s passion for dogs is undeniable, and it's clear he genuinely cares about helping owners and their pets succeed. If you're looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer, we highly recommend Lee.

I was initially hesitant getting my two maltese x shitzu's trained, however I am glad that I bit the bullet and did. I got them trained when I went on a holiday. Lee Brown, has been excellent in executing the training of my dogs Kenny and Ella. When I picked them up they where better behaved, listening more to commands, and most importantly I can now walk the dogs on their leads without them pulling and so can my 8 yr old daughter. However I have been finding the home training more beneficial. The dogs are reducing their barking when visitors arrive, they are working well with create training. Lee has such a great demeanour and patience with the dogs, my daughter and I. Every lesson, there is great progress. We are all putting our learnings into practice. Thank you Lee for making our lives just that bit easier for humans and fur babies.

Our 2 pups have been having a fantastic time while learning their manners. This has been great for us as it gives our dogs time to socialise with other dogs in a safe space and get some extra exercise.

We had left our dog Tommy with Pet Resorts Terrigal and had 10 days stay and train with Lee from Canine Evolution, we cannot recommend Lee enough and the Education and care Tommy received was outstanding, 10/10 Service. Thank you Lee.

Lee's training has been amazing!! The change in my dogs behaviour (and mine) has made such a difference to the harmony in my home, after introducing a puppy. I'm no longer at a loss on how to ensure my puppas are happy, safe and fulfilled. Lee's guidance, instruction and support has been the driver. I can't thank him enough for his awesome training lessons. I only wish I had of engaged Canine Evolution earlier. Thank you!!!

Canine Evolution has been working with my Great Dane for a while now, and we are very happy with his progress. April is very patient and great trainer, and we look forward to working with her into the future. I highly recommend Canine Evolution for all you dog training. Cheers

I have an OES who was at times reactive to other dogs in public whilst on lead. Walks were becoming stressful and not enjoyable. After she spent time in training I have noticed a massive improvement and was thrilled to see her playing and socialising with other dogs in photos sent to me after every session. The phone call updates, photos and SMS’s were a delight to receive. Thanks so much Canine Evolution with special thanks to the amazing Lee who has been great.The results really do speak for themselves.

My dog is a 2-year-old male German shepherd, friendly and well-trained. One time when we were not at home, some workers who were doing renovations for us accidentally left the door open while carrying heavy materials. My dog saw a person walking their little dog and ran out. Despite all the evidence we provided, the council still declared my dog to be menacing.I highly recommend Canine Evolution for providing very professional Behavioral Assessment for my dog. It is crucial that council officers who in charge such role might need a professional adviser. It is unreasonable to expect a dog to stand at an open door and watch other dogs pass by without reacting.

Since we have moved from our 1/2 acre yard to a retirement village, my two girls, Rosie (Sheltie) and Coomalie (Parson Russel Terrier) LOVE playing with their friends at Doggy Day Care. It is so nice to know they are happy and have the freedom to run and play. Coomalie is learning SO much from her training sessions too. Thanks to all our kind and caring friends at Canine Evolution.

Steph conducted a private lesson with our puppy at our home and I couldn't be happier. She went through the techniques required to address the 2 areas of concern and took great care and time to teach me properly, whilst being super encouraging. It's set us up to continue working with our pup and improving. Highly recommend Steph and Canine Evolution.

Lee from Canine Evolution has been training our dog and we have noticed such a massive improvement with him and his behaviour! We always receive photo and video updates which is really nice and helpful too. Highly recommend.

Scruffy, who is a terrier, has benefited greatly from his training with Canine Evolution. He obeys most commands and now walks a lot better on the lead.

Today for the first time I went to Canine Evolution for some much needed training for my dogs, but more importantly for ourselves. We had ''Verity" as our trainer and help with "Lee", great people skilled trainers, this training complex came with recommendations and did not disappoint at all. The detail in training was so clear and calm and in the middle of a little hassle with one of the dogs in a strange environment was rectified so well, with a more settled dog. We went to learn basic principles and got a lot more, introduced to a prong collar and never really wanted to use one because of our understanding, but now trained correctly what a great system to make a safer environment for our large dogs to be able to lead them safer and have better control, they respond well and seem to be rather happy. So glad we went here for the professional training. Good work guys we will be back.

My puppy Teddy of 13 months just finished a week's training with Lee at Terrigal. I am delighted with the results. He was a handful prior to attending but is now a confident, well mannered puppy. What he has learnt in one week is incredible. Lee was extremely helpful with the training tips on our departure which I am finding very useful and getting results! We will be back in few months for another week. Again, thank you Lee and also Tiarne for organising it.

Thank you to Lee and staff at Canine Evolution Terrigal, they have worked closely with the boys each week to help overcome their nervous and behavioral problems so they can now enjoy doggie daycare with all their friends. Highly recommend.

Lee and Verity gained the trust of a scaredy dog (that for its 18 mths would not let anyone outside our family near him) in ONE day. Their calm confidence and competence translated into all of our dog's enjoying their training and time with them so much they almost forgot who we were! 😆

Our puppy has just graduated preschool with Tim and it has been a fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and doesn't mind answering a million questions. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed a one on one session with our 6 month groodle. Our trainer was brilliant. Couldn't believe we could get through so much in such a short time. Thank you.

Ziggy, my little rescue kelpie had a brilliant first training session with Tim at Canine Evolution Townsville yesterday. Great instruction, good energy, really helped me to work out my part in helping Ziggy to become the goodest boy and we received a follow up email with more details and what we’re focusing on now. Loose lead beach walk this morning and Ziggy nailed it. Thank you Tim, five star rating from me and a five paw rating from Ziggy.

We have just done a handful of sessions with Nina as the onsite trainer for Pet Resorts and we are so pleased with our experience. Nina paid a lot of attention to our needs from start to finish and was extremely thorough with her communication and handover. We felt completely supported with her and we are confident enough at this stage to implement the tools we have learnt at home. Bruno will miss his sessions, I'm sure :)

My Shi-ba Inu, Leo, stays at Pet Resorts Terrigal on a regular basis. Whenever I book him in I also ensure he is getting some refresher training which is provided by Canine Evolution. They do a wonderful job and im very happy to recommend them. Not only are they experienced dog handlers but they provide a very professional service in terms of training updates. Each week I receive an email which explains what exercises he has completed as well as photos and/or a video which show his level of accomplishment. I can't fault Canine Evolution and when Leo returns home he's got a better temperament and is more engaged.

LuLu stayed at Pet Resort Terrigal for 7 days & was booked in for 5 days training. Nick Dalton was wonderful with her. He provided video updates of their training sessions plus a follow up training session for her humans which was most helpful indeed. He also forwarded us a summary pack of their training time together. It was obvious from my first conversation with Tiarne that they love & understand & respect dogs & I felt confident that LuLu was in excellent, safe hands. They even had the foresight to room her with one of their gentle older training dogs so that LuLu’s first experience of sharing with another dog was a lovely & positive one for her! I cannot recommend them high enough! LuLu will be back!! Thank you!

Our mini spoodle Frankie did a one week stay and train where the Canine Evolution team, particularly Steph, spent their training time taking Frankie through general obedience including preparing for a new baby like walking with a stroller which was above and beyond what we asked for - such wonderful service! We noticed an immediate difference when we took her home after this, as have our friends and family so we are very very happy with the outcome. It was also very hard to be away from our fur baby for the week but the team were so good with giving us little updates along the way that kept us reassured that she was having a great time and enjoying her time there, even though we were missing her so much!Since then, we have continued her training on a regular basis as she has a weekly session with Trainer Lauren when Frankie is at daycare. Frankie just loves Lauren and you can see how much she loves the training sessions too in the photo and video updates that get sent through, and we can see how well she is responding to them through her behaviour as well.Couldn’t recommend the Canine Evolution team enough for all your doggy training needs. They not only get results but actually care about your dog and treat them with love which is very important to us :)

My very excited 2 year old Lab has learnt so much and is very well looked after by the Cainine Evolution team in Terrigal. Their information and communication is great and has allowed us continue her training at home and maintain consistency with training methods. I am impressed with the progress she has made in such a short time.

Owning a reactive cattle dog can be a challenge however our trainer, Nina, has made a massive difference to Wally’s training in only a few days. And a massive difference in my knowledge and ability to continue this training. I cannot recommend Canine Evolution training enough!

We have seen an enormous improvement in the past 6 months for our Rottie girl, Freja, all thanks to the incredible trainers (shout out in particular to Steph, as well as Verity and Nick). Through the private lessons and a three week stay and train, we’ve seen Freja become much more confident in many areas, including socialising with other dogs and keeping focused when walking on a lead. We highly recommend the Canine Evolution team - Freja will definitely enjoy coming back for any refresher training! Briony & Jon

We've had great success with the trainers at Canine Evolution and our nervous rescue.Cricket is much more confident in all situations and they also helped us to become more confident handlers.We started with a 3 week stay and train and we now get regular top up sessions when our pup goes to daycare.We received videos of the training sessions with Cricket as well as as detailed notes so we could continue her training at home.Special shout out to Verity for all she has done to help us and Cricket. She has become one of Crickets most favourite humans.We highly recommend using canine evolution for any help you need with your pup.

The private training session i had with my 2yr old Cavoodle today was incredibly valuable. Nick was thorough, explained and demonstrated everything and then had me practice the skills too. He further developed a plan to target our goals and sent additional and detailed information in an email. I would absolutely recommend Canine Evolution.

My girl is Luna and she is a beautiful German Shepard and has been attending Canine Evolution training for the whole entire 3 years of her life and she enjoys every bit of of it, the trainers are wonderful and my girl just absolutely loves them they are caring and have taught my girl to have such wonderful manners

These guys were great to deal with. Our Labrador Lilly Grace is so full of beans. They gave us great tips and tricks to help with this.On going training is the key to Miss Lilly and they will be giving her another round on our next holiday when Miss Lilly stays at the Pet Resort. It just makes sense and helps her along the way. Thank you Nick and Verity.

Thanks Nick for looking after Harley so well for us while we were away.Overall we can see a definite improvement in his ability to keep calmer by sitting longer and ignoring distractions. A few great examples so far have been we were able to do the lawns, including the blower, whilst Harley just sat next to me outside without reacting. The second been we live very close to several retirement villages and nursing homes and Harley has been sitting calmly if we come across one of the residents to wait for his pat. One of the older males even said to me yesterday “he has to be the most placid dog I have ever met, I just want to bundle him up and take him home”. Whoever would have thought someone would say that about crazy Harley!!!He had a great walk down the beach yesterday and his recall had definite improved.Thanks again so much.

My Labrador pup spent a week here to learn some manners. They worked on his bitey behavior, how to walk properly on a lead, as well as basic commands like sit, stay, and wait. It’s obvious that the trainers adore the dogs, and are constantly praising them and rewarding them with treats. I also got my own training session with his trainer at the end of his stay so I could be consistent with commands at home. Whitby loved his stay here, and even though I missed him terribly he was so much easier when he got home. Highly recommended.
