Do you have your leash? 🐶

On-the-spot fines for dog owners who fail to control their dogs in public places have increased to $806.

This includes having a dog off-leash in an on-leash area. Or, if the dog is in an off-leash area, the owner must be able to control the dog using voice command.

For fatal attacks, owners face fines up to $108,000 and possible jail time.

So often we want our puppy not to behave like one. If you do the necessary work to raise a confident adult dog, you will have the best friend you’ve ever had and the journey will be so rewarding BUT you must put the time in. Puppies can’t raise themselves, they need your guidance. Enjoy the ride!

5 Star Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About a week ago, my dog George and I had his first training session with Rob at Dog Training By Zen. He's already received a lot of help from Dr Callie at the Zen Vet, but it was high, if not well past time to put some dog training into the mix. It's only been a week, but George is already making remarkable progress. George struggles big time with separation anxiety and dog reactivity, but already he is making huge progress with both.

It's all thanks to Rob's expertise, guidance and encouragement. He's taught me some excellent positive reinforcement techniques and training games, as well as helped me to discover that George is super food motivated. I can tell that he genuinely cares about the progress George and I make, which I know will help me be really consistent with training and keep it up for the long-term. Rob's customer service skills are top notch, and his approach to training his really fun. With his help, I genuinely feel like I've bonded with my dog more in the space of a week than I ever have in his life.

I found Rob online last year, after we had an incident where one of our dachshunds nipped a child who was a family member of ours. We were expecting our first baby to arrive just a few weeks after the incident, so it was important to us to get a professional opinion and quickly put in any steps to help stop this behavior from happening in the future. Rob was quick to respond to my enquiry and after an in depth phone call, was out to visit us at our home within the week. Rob is knowledgeable, professional and genuine. He spent over an hour with us, and was able to give us some great advice and ideas on training, to help improve both of our dachshunds behaviors. We have put several things into practice that Rob advised and we've seen improvement! Thank you Rob! I would highly recommend Rob to anyone needing assistance with dog training, I know you'll be in good hands.
