Get to know us....
Animal enthusiasts, and co-owners of thecanineclub, Tania and Sam, have been working together for a long time, and have trained dogs (and people!) all over Auckland.
We are incredibly proud of the services we offer. Our focus is on helping owners to create calm, relaxed dogs. We offer training through Behaviour Consultations or various Training Classes. Our training style is different, we are confident you will find it refreshing. Based around creating clever dogs, we teach you how to avoid micro managing your dogs behaviour. We keep "command based training" to a minimum (commands are necessary sometimes), and prefer to use passive training techniques, leading to great results.
Outside of dog training both of us know what it is like to lead busy lives. This means all of our training plans are designed to be achievable in the busiest households.
We love working with dogs, and their owners, and are absolute advocates for dogs. We both feel incredibly privileged to be doing what we are passionate about.

"It is with pleasure that I write this glowing testimonial for thecanineclub. I am a Vet Nurse and my goal was to attend a puppy class so that I could socialise my new puppy and have revision on basic training, as it has been awhile since I owned a dog. I very quickly learnt that my own techniques were old fashioned and that thecanineclub offer a training style that not only teaches your dog their 1, 2, 3's (sit, stay, come) but more importantly they have given me the tools I need to train my dog to be a well adjusted, sociable, calm, happy dog that I can take ANYWHERE at ANYTIME (or leave at home anytime). What more could you ask for! thecanineclub train 'what really matters' so that you have a content easy dog for LIFE without any niggly behavioural problems! I recommend thecanineclub to ALL puppy owners experienced or not. Thank you Tania and Sam for your professional, supportive and expert knowledge, I am forever grateful to you for the lovely dog I now have who I can truly say is my companion."

“Thank you for your time and help in training our dogs. We thought your presentation was excellent and very clear, already we are making progress.”
Kaiser’s Leader I would highly recommend Tania from thecanineclub. Tania gets a full picture of all aspects of the dogs life, behaviour and your concerns, and then works within the family dynamics to achieve success using positive reinforcement. Two of my dogs have had their lives changed for the better, they have a calm and happy demeanour now, despite coming from less than ideal backgrounds. Some of the issues have been resolved on the day she met them. In my opinion, Tania has to be New Zealand’s best dog behaviourist. Thanks for everything Tania. Your devotion and care really are appreciated.
