As a former trainer at Four Paws, I would NEVER EVER recommend anyone to attend this centre…read more The owners, Trish and Stuart Harris are obnoxious, and their training stale. I learnt this when I came back as a customer a couple of weeks ago with my wife and I for my first lesson with our pup. Totally unimpressed and disappointed. Their 10+ year old trainer ( whom stated --- 'I have been here for a long time' ), was asked a question by a new client and she says, 'I don't know. Ask the other trainer, she knows everything'. A new client was struggling with his dog's and not once did the trainer help them. The owners desire is to churn people over. Their pricing expensive. Their instructors sub-standard. Don't be lured by their sweet promises of obedience. Find a local club, find some dedicated volunteers. Do NOT GO to Four Paws.

My partner and I recently adopted a Belgian Malinois X who had picked up some pretty naughty habits…read morefrom his 'holiday' at the Lost Dogs Home. We actually had no idea where to start to get him out of those habits and turn into a well-behaved member of the canine society. I searched high and low for dog schools that I felt comfortable taking Tex to, and luckily stumbled across Four Paws K9 Training. After attending the Welcome Session at Keilor View Primary School, I instantly felt comfortable with the idea of handing over my money and learning from the professionals. I went into my first session thinking that Tex was going to be considered a 'highly reactive dog' but my concerns were put to rest when they showed me the ropes of how to handle such a stubborn and dominant dog. Don't get me wrong, I've had dogs my whole life, but rescue dogs are a whole different thing compared to a dog that you've had from a puppy. With the help of the wonderful owners, trainers and student trainers at Four Paws, Tex is now a *mostly* well-behaved dog who finds the fun in training and working with the both of us, provided he gets a tasty treat and a cuddle at the end of it all. Without the help of Four Paws, I'm about 99% sure that my house would be shredded and the dog would own the bed while we slept on the floor... thanks Four Paws :) :) :)

Melissa was assigned as our trainer. Turns out she was perfect for our Dobermann. She was compassionate and positive with him which helped him bond quickly. And she was very patient with us Melissa trained us to adapt our behaviours and techniques to handle situations. Separation anxiety has reduced dramatically with confidence building techniques and now walks on a loose leash. We are armed with the techniques necessary to continue to improve our relationship with our dog. Melissa is a fantastic choice for anyone who has anxious dogs needing help.

Kirsten has been providing exceptional dog minding and walking services to me and my dogs for over…read more8 years. Until I met her I would never trust my dogs with anyone other than family, and now she is a regular part of Luca and Archie's lives - walking them several times a week. I trust her completely and it is wonderful to see the way they react to her visits - they really love spending time with her and respond so well to her kind and gentle methods. Kirsten is highly professional but with great compassion and empathy...always willing to talk through issues and offer advice. I would recommend her service to anyone who loves and wants the best for their pets.
