Puppy Pawtential

Set your puppy up for success; before the chaos starts.

Bringing a new puppy home is exciting… but it can also be overwhelming. Between the biting, toileting accidents, and sleepless nights, it’s easy to feel like you’re already behind. Our Puppy Pawtential (Puppy Training & Socialisation Package) is here to change that.

This isn’t just a “puppy school.” It’s a game plan.

We help you feel calm, confident and in control; right from day one.

Whether your puppy is already home or you’re counting down the days until they arrive, we’ll guide you through every step of setting up your home, your routine, and your training foundations. So you’re not just surviving puppyhood… you’re actually enjoying it.

You’ll learn how to:

Set up your home for calmness, sleep, and stress-free toilet training

Build a daily routine that works with your lifestyle (not against it)

Confidently handle biting, nipping, zoomies and over-excitement

Socialise your puppy the right way (no more guessing or googling)

Create a calm, well-mannered puppy who grows into a dog you can take anywhere

If you’ve been feeling unsure, frustrated or just want to do it right from the start, this is the kind of support you’ve been craving.

Let’s raise a confident, well-behaved dog together, with a plan that actually works.

Rock Solid Recall

For when “come!” means “only if I feel like it…”

Whether your dog bolts the moment the lead comes off or suddenly goes deaf at the park, you’re not alone. Reliable recall is one of the most important (and most frustrating) skills to teach. But here’s the good news: it’s absolutely possible and we’ll show you how.

Our Rock Solid Recall program is designed for teenage dogs pushing boundaries, adult dogs with patchy recall, and owners who are sick of feeling like they have zero control once they un-clip the lead.

We’ll help you:

Understand why your dog’s recall has slipped (it’s not just “being naughty”)

Rebuild engagement and trust; even around distractions

Train a rock-solid recall using proven techniques and real-life scenarios

Teach your dog that coming back is the best decision they’ll make all day

Feel confident taking your dog off-lead again without the stress.

This program blends training, mindset and lifestyle strategies to help your dog want to come back, not just when it’s quiet, but when it really counts.

No more standing in the park begging or chasing your dog down the street.

It’s time to feel in control, enjoy off-leash freedom, and get your dog running to you with joy and reliability.

Manners Matter

Because your dog’s got plenty of personality; now let’s add some manners to match.

If your dog’s go-to greeting is a flying leap to the chest…

If walks feel more like sled pulls…

If your commands go in one ear and out the other…

You’re in the right place.

Our Manners Matter package is designed for teenage and adult dogs who are full of energy, but seriously lacking in the polite behaviour department. Whether your dog is barking their head off at every sound, charging through doors, pulling like a freight train, or jumping all over guests; we’ll help you turn that daily frustration into calm, reliable behaviour you can actually enjoy.

Inside this package, you’ll learn how to:

Get your dog to actually listen — the first time

Put an end to jumping, barking, dashing through doors, and leash pulling

Teach calm greetings, impulse control, and polite home behaviour

Set clear boundaries without crushing your dog’s personality

Build structure and follow-through in a way your dog understands (and respects)

This isn’t about making your dog a robot — it’s about helping them understand how to behave, so you can live your life without the constant chaos.

Because life’s too short to keep yelling “OFF!” every five minutes.

Let’s turn that wild energy into everyday obedience you can rely on, no yelling, bribing, or wishing for a miracle required.

Reactive to Reliable

Because walks shouldn’t feel like a battle and reactivity doesn’t have to be your dog’s whole story.

If your dog lunges, barks or loses control the moment they see another dog, person, car or animal…

If you’re crossing the street to avoid triggers or dreading the next walk…

If your world has shrunk because your dog just can’t cope…

You’re not a bad owner — and your dog isn’t broken. They just need the right kind of help.

Our Reactive to Reliable program is designed to support dogs struggling with reactivity and the humans who love them. Whether your dog is barking at dogs, reacting to people, fixating on cars, or just generally struggling to stay calm and in control, we’ll help you rebuild trust, teach practical skills, and bring peace back to your walks.

In this program, you’ll learn how to:

Understand what’s really driving your dog’s reactivity (spoiler: it’s not just “bad behaviour”)

Build calm, focus and engagement, even around triggers

Create trust and communication between you and your dog

Improve your dog’s impulse control and emotional resilience

Safely and confidently navigate walks, public spaces and everyday life

We don’t believe in quick fixes or harsh methods. We believe in giving dogs the tools they need to feel safe, and owners the tools they need to lead with confidence.

Because reactive dogs CAN become reliable, with the right plan, support and training that actually works in the real world.

Let’s work together to turn the chaos into calm, and the stress into progress. You don’t have to do this alone.

Testimonials

Best dog trainer ever! Nicole has helped me and Jerry (border collie) through his reactivity (anything with wheels, people, dogs, noises) through building a solid and clear communication system between us. She helped me understand that reactivity often comes from a lack of relationship between the dog and the handler, so she got all the way back to work on foundational skills with us and assisted Jerry and I to restructure our relationship too. She goes above and beyond to support us. She also looked after Jerry when we were overseas in the last year and Jerry came home acting like a different dog (very calm and obedient)! She is extremely experienced, knowledgeable and skillful! After around 4 private lessons, Jerry’s car reactivity has reduced and his loose leash walking has improved. We are now attending Nicole’s weekly group class to help Jerry become neutralize/ stay calm with other dogs and people around. He has made massive improvement in the past year! We highly recommend Nicole’s private lessons as well as group classes!

Gigi + Jerry

Nicole has a brilliant understanding across all dog breeds regardless of size. I was finding it hard to find someone in the local area that understood primitive breeds. I took my Shiba to her and immediately Kiko wanted to jump through hoops for her. Nicole understood what Kiko needed from us. Her whole school system has helped us so much where other puppy preschools couldn’t. Kiko is now thriving with her training techniques. I also had a few private lessons with Nicole and they were so beneficial to both myself and Kiko. Nicole goes above and beyond outside of puppy school and is willing to help out with any questions or concerns you have when at home. She absolutely passionate about educating dog owners on how to effectively handle their dog through structured games & techniques. The rolling classes help for busy lifestyles and enable flexibility for house holds.

Shantal + Kiko

We've been working with Nicole for the last fews weeks, and in this short time Mochi our moodle has had a 180 turnaround on his behaviour. We thought his old behaviour was aggression but Nicole helped us understand it's fear and anxiety driven. She gave us the skills to help Mochi get more confident each day. We went with private sessions and these helped us get the most out of training him. Highly recommend Nicole!

Trang + Mochi

When we decided to go ahead with the owner trained Assistance Dog thing, I was a little apprehensive. I knew that my disability could sometimes make consistency difficult and my sensory issues aren’t really conducive to raising a well socialised puppy. We found Nicole around the same time we found Mochi. She talked us through everything we’d need from day one and the day Mochi was ready to head home, Nicole was waiting to take her on for a kickstart B&T. We got five weeks of constant updates about how cute, calm and responsive Mochi was and we knew immediately that we had made two very right choices. Mochi is now 9 months old and preparing to start very short public access trips in the new year. At the start of the year my anxiety, and trauma really made leaving the house for a walk impossible without the help of a support worker. Now, I’m independently leaving on 3 walks a day because through the training process, I’ve managed to develop enough confidence and a sense of safety that I can handle any situation that I find myself in with Mochi, Subak, or Gracie. This is all thanks to the amazing help and support that we’ve received since Nicole started helping out. She raises the best puppies!

Xava + Mochi

If you are seeking a dog trainer for any reason, Nicole at TDP is amazing and you should reach out and book in your consultation with her! We have 2 dogs and wanted a better relationship with them, and them with each other too. We have worked with Nicole for a couple of years, have stretches of fortnightly-monthly sessions either at our house or in parks and communicate outside of these too. Her approach is thorough, knowledgable and passionate all in one... she will lay out a plan and roadmap to get you and your dogs to the improvements you are seeking. She will give you support and feedback between the sessions when you need it for the work you put in between sessions too. Our dogs are now better trained/mannered in every sense thanks to her guidance. No dog is perfect, but she will give you the tools to help give you a much better relationship with your dog, both in private at home and out in public. Thank you Nicole!

Kym + Cleo & Benji

Nicole from Top Dog Pawformance has been an absolute blessing for myself and my Border Collie, Bobby. I was at my wits end struggling with our dogs reactivity (lunging and barking at cars, bikes, runners, prams, etc.), constant pacing in the backyard and barking. After doing some research for trainers in Brisbane, I came across Nicole and we haven't looked back. She has been great in helping to put procedures in place to manage our dog and has provided me with invaluable techniques in training him to improve his reactivity. Our Border Collie absolutely loves her and I have seen an incredible difference in him since working with Nicole. I can't recommend Top Dog Pawformance and Nicole enough!

Lauren + Bobby

Nicole is so amazing!!! She came to help us with lead pulling, jumping, biting and recall for our very excitable Dobermann, Hades. We noticed a HUGE difference immediately after she explained what we should be doing. Can’t wait for our next session! Thanks Nicole 😇☺️

Brittany + Hades

If you’re even considering a dog trainer, Nicole from Top Dog Pawformance is who you need. Nicole is passionate, understanding & sooo incredibly good at her job. I was genuinely so impressed from the first 5 minutes she entered our home. Having a dog trainer felt slightly intimidating for me, but Nicole was so helpful & supportive, making each step such a clear process. She ensured to explain everything in depth so that we were all on the same page. I honestly can’t thank her enough for showing change can happen (even with stubborn, sassy, slinky Dashie’s). Can’t recommend enough! Thank you again, Nicole - Tiarna, Amy, Slinky Dink & Oscar.

Tiarna + The Slinky Dink & Oscar

Nicole is so passionate about her job, genuinely wanting to help you and give you the tools you need to succeed. She is incredibly professional, adjusting her training style to best suit both you and your dog (or in our case, dogs x2!) to get the most out of each session. We can't recommend her enough!

Tracey + Jax & Braun

Nicole is great at what she does. She provided us with simple and effective methods to train our cavoodle. Would highly recommend!
