Sankiri Dog Training

Recently adopted a 20kg boisterous male staffy. Day 1 I was in tears because I couldn't open a door without him barraging into my shins let alone hold my arms down with him playfully (yet painfully) biting them and constantly jumping on everyone. After 1 session with Lorraine and Sankiri I had him sitting and staying long enough to open a door and actually respond to his name. 6 months down the road he sits, drops, stands on command all for extended periods of times (even around food & other dogs playing), heels off lead, he's stopped jumping and biting (even playfully) and simply just listens and responds. I honestly can't believe the transformation. We now have a beautiful, loving, still a little cheeky but mostly well behaved boy. Can't thank Lorraine enough!

I have bee coming on and off with little rescue dog Toby, who has issues with anxiety, listening, fear and poor socializing. In the past I have attended other training school with my past dogs, but I wished that I knew Lorraine then. Lorraine is magical. She is able to tune in to the dogs and owners. She helps us owners to get in touch with our dogs and their way of thinking. Lorraine is treats us all including the dogs with respect and compassion. She never makes you feel stupid or incapable of training your dog. You can see that she loves her dogs and is very compassion about her work. Time never seems an issue for her, as she always makes time. Lorraine has given me lots of positive advice in regards in getting in touch with Toby to help him face his new stable life. Then today in training she once more spend heaps of time with Toby and myself to help us with the present fear issue. She is great and so tuned in with it all. I highly recommend Lorraine and I am so ...read more

I have now trained 3 dogs the 'Sankiri' way with Lorraine and couldn't have asked for a better method of training.

Positive re-inforcement is always best!

My 2 current dogs are well trained quiet loving dogs -- and more importantly BOTH my dogs are Qualified 'Delta Therapy Dogs' meaning they have passed the behaviour temperament and training exams to be servicing patients & staff in hospitals & similar to help the patients with their recovery one in the ...read more

I have a border collie Cassie, 2 yrs in late Sep 2014, She had become more than a hand full, then after being told the 3 time by another training group that her attention span was poor 15 min at max best to come back when she's older, she was getting the better of me and the other two dogs at home there was friction with them as she grew, challenging them at every opportunity, wouldn't walk with them, then walking her was a battle, yanking and pulling , chocking herself till she was sick, rubbing her nose halter into the ground & concrete path.
Thanks to Sankiri, in two lessons she stopped pulling, she was starting to adjust to her nose halter that was supplied that first day training, but mostly, l was shown what l had been doing and why she was reacting, giving her mixed signals confusing her and not being firm enough to state my place in the pecking order. ...read more

Sorry but it really annoys me when people post comments about something they have no idea about, I met lorriane from Sankiri dog training 6 years ago, when i had many issues with my lab,my lab was very dominate,you could not pat or cuddle her without her pulling back, she would bark at you and nip you, I tried a different training place but got no where, Lorriane made it so easy, and was a huge help, after 2 classes I could walk my dog with out my shoulder and arm feeling like it wasnt going to be pulled out of its socket. I now have a beautiful well behaved dog who loves pats and big cuddles..4 years ago i got a mastiff x who suffers from anxiety, it was suggested by the vets that I should put him on medication, but for me that was the last resort, I phoned Sankiri and asked Lorriane if she would be able to help, and help she has, with lots of positive training methods we are doing great. I would highly recommend Sankiri Dog Training!!
