Personalised 1-1 Training and Group Classes and Workshops or Sessions.

At Leaps & Bounds Dog Training, we offer individualised, one-on-one training sessions at our dedicated facility in Rosevears – just a short 25-minute drive from Launceston along the West Tamar.

We believe every dog and owner duo is unique, which is why we tailor our training programs to your specific needs. We also offer specific behavioural training. After your initial consultation at our facility, we can also offer in-home sessions and real-life training at selected locations. Virtual training via zoom is also available.

Our packages are thoughtfully designed to ensure lasting progress. We believe that a single session is insufficient to create meaningful change; instead, our structured approach supports both you and your dog on the journey to overcoming reactivity.

Helping Your Dog
Gain Confidence and Calm Behaviour.

Managing a reactive dog can be a challenging experience that demands patience, understanding, and commitment. Reactivity often originates from fear or overstimulation in response to triggers such as other dogs, unfamiliar people, or sudden noises.

At Leaps & Bounds, we specialise in effective training programs designed to manage reactivity and help your dog thrive.

These 3-lesson packages currently are available from $225

  • Territorial barking

  • Separation anxiety

  • Destructive behaviours

  • Resource guarding

  • Fearful or anxious dogs

  • Reactive behaviour
