THRIVE CANINE

Force free training and support

specialising in aggressive and reactive dogs

based in Melbourne, Australia.

WHO WE ARE

At Thrive Canine, we understand firsthand that dealing with aggression and reactivity can be overwhelming and emotionally challenging: we have lived with these issues and worked through them personally.

​

Our mission is not only to assist and support reactive and aggressive dogs, but also to help prevent dogs from developing these issues.

​

We use only the most up-to-date, force free methods to rehabilitate behaviour issues, and pride ourselves on our extensive qualifications, expertise, and commitment to ongoing education.
