We took our puppy who was in major need of some training and after just one week and the tools given to us when we picked her up she is a changed puppy, so much nicer to walk now and already easier around other dogs too where she use to try and attack them, I can’t say thank you enough

Our 10 month old Standard Poodle spent just 9 days to be totally transformed. We can now walk without being pulled along and get desired responses to commands . The simple techniques used have taught us to add more skills to our puppy and now our kids can run around the house with a calm and obedient dog. I can’t thank you enough.I highly recommend your fine service.

My 8 month old pup used to bark at everything and wouldn’t follow a single command. I’m a sooky dog mum n was terrified about leaving her for 10 days. But, it was the best decision. K9 were absolutely brilliant. Even when I bugged them for an update every other day, they put me at ease each time and sent pics and gave me a call. When I picked her up, she was able to sit, drop, stay, come and no barking!
Helpful Review 1She’s been home for a week, and with the tools K9 gave me, I’m able to continue training her and helping her be the best pup she can be. Our lives are soo much more relaxed now and our pup is super chilled out. I have even sorted out a few issues I had with my 12 year old Jack russel using the same methods. Their training is ongoing too if I need a bit of help down the track. Best $ I’ve ever spent! Thanks K9!!!

My dog is a regular at k9 all breeds. The team there are great and very helpful. Every time I pick my Maxi up he is always so tired and buggered out. He has done the boot camp there as well. They have helped us both alot and appreciate everything they do. They really care about your dog and there wellbeing.

Andrea Preiato
My beloved mini poodle became unpredictably aggressive towards his owners/household occupants, and sometimes other dogs – I was unable to transport him to the vet or get a lead on him without aggression. I was becoming quite hopeless. He was effectively on death row as we had tried many other trainers/vets/vet behaviouralists (all with exceptional qualifications) to little effect. All the advice that we could get was that we had to re-home him or to euthanise him.
Despite my dog being cute, fluffy and small, Allbreeds identified that he is a very dominant character and that the issues we were experiencing with him were extreme. We have found K9 Allbreeds training to work exceptionally well for my dog with aggression issues.
From the moment we met Heidi we knew that the trainer had formed quite a bond with our dog and that our dog had been in excellent care (from the way my dog behaved with Heidi). We have since boarded him at Allbreeds and he gets excited as we arrive in the carpark.
She was able to not only put my dog through the training effectively, but she taught me the skills as an owner. She was incredibly patient with me, as I was anxious to even pat my dog when I was receiving training. What sets Heidi apart from other trainers is the way she empowered me to train my dog with confidence, she has clear passion and skill for helping animals and people alike! We could not be any more grateful for Heidi and the team of wonderful caring trainers at Allbreeds.
I have purposely delayed to write this review so I could see if my dog’s behaviour changed consistently over a period of time.
My dog’s behaviour did not change overnight (though he did come home from bootcamp a different dog – an extremely well-behaved dog), it was my own behaviour changes that I learned from Allbreeds (as an owner) over a longer period of time, towards him, that has changed his behaviours now very consistently. The ongoing support from Allbreeds has really helped us to maintain the excellent standard of training provided to our dog.
After a couple months, I can now walk my dog twice a day (and it’s pleasurable!!) His leash manners are always getting complimented by others. He no longer controls the household and he consistently listens and follows my commands. This training does require consistency and leadership if you want to continue these great results. Thank you Allbreeds so much for giving us our beautiful little boy back!

I wish I could give 0 stars but there is no option for that.
Helpful Review 17We brought our dog Lola for 10 days training back in 2021 over the Easter Holidays. The promises were big but the disappointment when we saw the results were even bigger. When we collect our girl was shacking on my lap on the way home and a day later she started to get unwell, displaying a cough and also refusing to eat. Lola came home exactly the same way she left, referring to the training, and the technique to hit her with a chain, that it was shown to us, it seemed to haver terrorizing effects on her. I wrote back to the owner asking for my money back and she refused to even to rectify any wrong doing but offering me one free session of training. Are you kidding me ? We paid almost $1000 and you offer one free training session? Please check your record before posting that you don`t have anyone with this name! Very bad experience!!!! Never going back and would never ever recommend to anyone who really care about their pets!!!!!

Thank you so much to the team at Allbreeds, our Skyla is a completely different dog to when she came into you guys.
I am in awe of what you can do with this dogs and how you give the dogs such a confidence. She’s gone from being an over excitable & nervous puppy to such a calm, confident girl.
You have honestly made our lives so happy having such a well behaved dog!
Now to get the funds ready to send our older boy.

Wowowow Allbreeds!! wowowow. I never thought I would be able to walk my dogs without having my arm ripped from its socket. Allbreeds has helped us immensely. My dogs feel safe with me and no longer pull. They have exceptional manners and a general sense of calm about them which transfers throughout our entire household. Walking the dogs is no longer a stressful and scary experience. It only took 10 days and we have different dogs for the better. Thank you Allbreeds – we are so grateful and can not thank you enough!

Thank you Allbreeds for the amazing job you did on my very naughty puppy. I was recommend to you guys by someone I met in the park who told me that you had transformed their dog, I was a little skeptical initially but the results have been amazing, it is so good to be able to walk my dog with ease and socialize nicely with other dogs at the park. The service was amazing and professional and you can see that the bond between my dog and the trainer was special. Following my dog on facebook was so cool I love seeing the doggies having a great time. God bless.

WARNING do not send your dog to this training facility, after using another training facility last year close to home, I had the same expectations from All-breeds. I picked up my German Shepherd pup after a 10 day program and he was traumatised, full of anxiety and sick with Kennel Cough. Seems to be a regular occurrence from this business reading other reviews. I wish I had read the reviews before putting my boy in. I fully regret it. It’s been 5 days since picking up my boy and he’s still very sick, vomiting and not eating his food this morning. I took him to my local vet the next day after the handover and after examination my dog has neck trauma and inflammation due to their brutal ‘fear based’ training techniques, also diagnosed with kennel cough. I’ve been left with extra vet and medical bills and our boy is now on medications. I have tried to reach out to Tim to come to a resolution and compensation of the extra medical vet bills, and sent through the vet letter stating my dog sustained trauma at the facility, and Tim has refused to take any responsibility or come to an agreement with me, only to leave me with a contact of their lawyer. I was advised by my vet to contact animal welfare and I will do now and yes Tim I will be in contact with your lawyers as we handed over a healthy German Shepherd boy to only get back a traumatised, very sick and injured dog. I hope your facility gets shut down and that’s what a vet nurse said too. Thank you for taking our money only to leave us with a bigger financial loss and very sick dog. If anything happens to him, I will make sure you pay x100.

Over promise under deliver..
Their website makes it seems like your dog will come out fully trained but the reality is all they do is incite fear into your dog using a chain so you can train them your self using the chain..
Sorry but if im spending $1000 I expect my dog to be trained by you not me. As someone else said in past reviews, you can achieve what they achieve with a little patience and time minus the $1000. 2.5 stars because their service is not entirely useless however their website seriously misleads you.

My partner and I sent our Aussie Bulldog to All Breeds 10 Day boot camp and what a difference it has made.
Helpful ReviewBefore attending, walks with him were stressful with constant pulling on the lead and rushing up to new dogs and people. We also dealt with boisterous behavior in the house such as jumping up on visitors and rushing out the door. Now Duncan walks on the lead like a pro, allows other people and dogs to come up to him at their own pace, and calmly greets any visitors we have without bowling them over. We could not recommend Tim and his group of trainers enough

We left our two year old pup in their care for 10 days, both my partner and I wish we had researched beforehand, while coming home with “flu” he is reluctant to carry his own weight on his hind legs, not to mention the fact he is/was beyond malnourished… we paid near $1300 for their services, and got back a frightened skinny boy, ribs and spine clearly visible, not the lean muscular one we sent in, we are now consulting with our local vet.

I cannot thank the team at K9 Allbreeds enough for what they have done for my pups and my family. With a baby on the way, and two overly excitable dogs over the weight of 40kg, I needed help! One of my boys also displayed aggression towards other dogs due to an incident that occurred with an off lead dog when he was a puppy. The day I picked him up, I could not believe how calm and composed he was around other dogs off lead and within a 1 metre radius.
Helpful ReviewThe freedom we have been given from this training is invaluable and has changed our lives for the better.

A huge thank you to Tim, Heidi and the staff at K9 Boot Camp. Our boys, Bill & Ben, are like chalk and cheese since we brought them home after 10 days at boot camp. No more jumping on me, no more constant nagging for them to stay out of the kitchen, no more barking at the aggro dog that lives behind us, and now able to walk them both TOGETHER! We took them to the beach today and what a difference from the last attempt. Sure, still have a little bit to go but really looking forward to our first visit to the dog club this month. The training given to us when we picked them up was brilliant! They really know their stuff and everything they explained to us made perfect sense! And without one food reward in sight! A quick follow up phone call to Tim was also extremely helpful and informative. THANK YOU from Keith, Linda & Maddi

My puppy is completely blind but also full of life and boisterous. I needed to have him learn basic obedience but had no idea how to achieve this with a blind puppy. I heard the ad for all breeds K9 boot camp so I rang them and asked if they could help with a blind puppy. They agreed they could adjust the trading for a blind puppy and I couldn’t be happier. When I collected Champ he was full of confidence and follow commands brilliantly. I can’t thank the staff a Allbreeds enough. I gave them a terrified and untrained puppy and they gave me back an obedient, confident puppy

Thanks you so much to the Allbreeds team! The hard work and dedication into getting our very challenging boy back to a place where he is now loved again in our family is nothing short of amazing! You guys are awesome!
The care and attention provided by the trainers was evident on all levels as our boy breezed through the handover looking very happy and showing a calmer nature than we have ever seen before.
On arrival back at home we have followed the instructions from the trainer and found that we are now able to manage him effectively. Our experience throughout this whole process has been fantastic and our expectations have been met and surpassed.

Thank you Allbreeds k9 boot camp, for the wonderful job you have done with my dog Max. Before boot camp Max was a serial jumper to the point where it was becoming dangerous and scary. He was also a nightmare on lead and his recall was non existent especially when something more interesting was around.
Now he knows what the boundaries are and more importantly I know how to communicate and set those boundaries. He no longer jumps which is great and he walks with me instead of dragging me down the road. His recall has improved dramatically and comes when called.
Many thanks to the staff who cared and trained Max over the 10 days . So happy!

After picking up my dog and finding out he has flu like symptoms then given medication that should not have been given to a dog. Was not happy at all with the abuse of my dog via their ” training ” techniques yelling a word at the dog and throwing a length of chain at my dog and the far too tight chocking collar.

After a devastating fire we lost not only our home but everything we had, except our boy khaki. My daughter & son in law took khaki to k9 boot camp and he was treated so good and his training was top notch! We had to board him there for a couple of weeks after training was done due to not having a permanent home. When we did pick our boy up he was so well behaved & just so happy. Previously to boot camp I would have to take khaki to a park late at night so he didn’t come across another dog because he just wanted to eat them, but now he is so well behaved I can’t even believe how much he has changed. I have to tell my husband to keep up with training because he spoils our boy (Khaki) but the once a month training sessions held is awesome for both husband and dog!!!!
Helpful ReviewI would recommend All breeds k9 boot camp to any dog owner. Absolutely the best trainers and ongoing training that’s free.

Allbreeds K9 Bootcamp is such a good program and has helped my dog Finley, and helped me. It has helped him become a better behaved dog and has improved his confidence. Finley was getting quite aggressive towards other dogs and feeling threatened so it was hard to take him out to public places with other dogs. I can now take Finley everywhere and I have more control over him and he actually listens to me now. The training methods are so effective and they work! The trainers are so friendly and you know your dog is in good hands. I highly recommend!!

All Breeds K 9 did an excellent job with our rescue greyhound Sadie. She is 18 months old and left the kennels at 14 months and was fear aggressive with other dogs. After Bootcamp she is no longer fear aggressive, she no longer jumps on people, and will move back and sit when asked and wait for the go command to eat her meals. A terrific progress in 10 days.
