Learn How To Train Your Dog With Kindness
Welcome to Graceful Little Paws
A gentle and fun way to teach dogs of all ages good behaviours using “Positive Reinforcement"
What is Positive Reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement training means we reward your dog for doing the right thing — instead of punishing them when they get it wrong.
It helps your dog feel safe, confident, and connected to you. They learn to listen because they want to, not because they’re scared.
Every time your dog makes a good choice, we celebrate it with things they love: treats, praise, play, or affection.
With practice, they start to understand what makes you happy, and they get excited to do it again.
That’s how we build good habits that last — through kindness, not fear.
My Services

Puppy Preschool in Preston is a gentle, four-week indoor training course in a small group setting for puppies aged 8–15 weeks. Using positive reinforcement, it helps build trust, confidence, and good manners. Each class includes socialization, basic skills like sit, recall, and walking on lead, plus help with common issues like biting or jumping. Families receive weekly handouts and ongoing support to continue learning at home. Enrolled students also get 45% off their first private training session, available before, during, or after the course. The program focuses on early socialisation and kind, science-backed training to give puppies the best start in life.

In-home training sessions are perfect for anyone needing help with their puppy or dog’s behaviour. I’ll visit your home and work with you on up to three problem behaviours, like barking, jumping, or pulling on the lead. The training is fun, gentle, and tailored to your dog — so both of you enjoy learning together. It’s a simple, hands-on way to get real results in a familiar, comfortable space.
By the end of our session, you’ll feel confident and equipped with the tools you need to continue training your dog. Afterward, we can schedule a follow-up session, and I’ll provide you with a personalized training plan to keep you on track.
I travel to most Inner Melbourne suburbs, but spots fill quickly.
