Puppy school and private dog training
Graceful Little Paws provides positive, reward-based puppy and dog training across Melbourne’s inner north.
Whether you have recently brought home a puppy or need help with an older dog’s behaviour, training is tailored to your dog, your home and your everyday routine. You’ll receive practical guidance that is clear, achievable and easy to continue between sessions.
Puppy School in Preston
Our four-week indoor Puppy Preschool is designed for puppies aged 8–15 weeks. Classes are kept small so every puppy receives individual support while learning around other puppies and people.
We cover puppy biting, toilet training, socialisation, confidence, recall, loose-lead walking, settling on a mat, handling, jumping and other important everyday skills.
Puppy parents also receive weekly training notes and homework, helping you continue practising at home.

Private dog training in Melbourne’s inner north
Private training gives you personalised help with the behaviours that matter most to you and your dog.
Sessions can help with pulling on lead, barking, jumping, recall, puppy biting, toilet training, overexcitement, settling, fear, anxiety, reactivity and general manners.
Your first session takes place at home, allowing me to understand your dog’s behaviour in their usual environment. Follow-up sessions may happen at home, on your street or at a suitable local park.
Private dog training is available in Preston, Reservoir, Thornbury, Northcote, Coburg, Brunswick, Fairfield, Alphington, Ivanhoe and surrounding suburbs.
Positive, force-free dog training
Training should help your dog feel safe and confident. I use positive reinforcement to teach your dog what you would like them to do and reward them for making good choices.
You’ll learn why the behaviour is happening, what may be reinforcing it and exactly what to practise next. Every private session includes a clear written training plan so you don’t have to remember everything discussed during the appointment.
