Damian has literally changed our lives. Our dog had a number of behavioral issues due to my own part and he was anxious after the pandemic. Damian has helped us learn how to have a happy and well behaved dog that listens and always comes back when you call. Our dog is so happy and loves Damian, people always comment on how well behaved our dog is and we never would have been able to do it without him!

I was walking my dog at Torquay beach when “Damien” used me and my dog to train a reactive Kelpie. He, the owner and the kelpie followed me up and down the beach despite me and my dog literally running away. The dog continually hearding and nipping mine while “Damien” was yanking at the kelpie’s neck with a rope. It was incredibly stressful and traumatic. I should’ve rang the police.

I cannot recommend Damian highly enough. His communication and explanation about dogs behaviours was so helpful to me, and I have noticed an instant change in my pup after initiating this training. He left me with tools to work with and I was provided with very helpful information post consultation to support me with the training ahead. I am so grateful for Damian’s expertise and very excited to keep applying this while training my pup. Such a valuable and instantly rewarding consult. Thank you!

I will never know exactly whether this was a major contributor but it really feels that way and I need to share my experience with Damien. My 9 mth kelpie was chasing cars as they passed so I went to Damien to help this. Whilst it did stop the behaviour for a little while, the methods he used made my dog extremely distressed and appeared to transfer his anxiousness onto dogs and some people. I had never had an issue with my dog being aggressive, but a week or so after seeing Damien he became reactive with some dogs and sometimes certain people. It has been over a year of training now with other more positive trainers and a lot of stress and regret on my part for sending him to Damien initially . Some dogs may benefit from his training but from my experience, an anxious dog does not take well to his owner pinching him until he yelps and it didn’t feel right from the start. I had heard such great things from people in Torquay and didn’t look into what methods he used. I also remember on our training day another dog who had been through sessions walking backwards with tail between his legs when he saw Damien. I understand some dogs may respond to his training the way they are meant to but I feel strongly that my dog would have been much better without and from research and other trainers insight I feel the need to share with others.

Fantastic structured training that has been fun and engaging. Even as experienced multi dog owners looking to build exposure and confidence for a new pup, these classes were very helpful and have improved the behaviour of all the dogs in the household.

The Michael Jordan of dog trainers! I can’t believe the results we had after 1 session with Damian. Explained the concepts extremely well.

Damian is amazing with fantastic techniques and fast results. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. We had a private session with Damian and have just committed to his group training sessions.
