I took my anxious puppy Boof to Sankiri to help him socialise and build confidence around other dogs and strangers. Boof’s now the friendly (well trained) family pet we hoped for. Highly recommend to other dog owners.

We love training here! Our boy Comet was totally unmanageable before we started here, he spent all of his first lesson barking at the other dogs. Now he arrives and is always happy to see his friends. He is doing very well with his training and we are really happy with how he is progressing and all of the assistance we have received. Highly recommend

Just finished my first lesson with Katia (one year old springer spaniel) at Seaford Primary School. Lorraine and Casey were amazing! I didn't realise - alot of this training is as much about the owner as well and the dog.We learnt how to stop Katia taking off on walks, dropping, how to heel and stopping at gates.Had some immediate success in our first lesson! Lots to... refine but was great to see the change. We were both pretty tired after and she was super subdued for the drive home.Stoked to have been and look forward to the next class.read more

Thanks for the amazing job you have done training both the dog and the owner! Ruby has grown from a jumpy puppy into a well behaved and settled dog. Your methods and advice have been consistent and thoughtful. Watching the behaviour of aggressive dogs change into calm and settled pets has been truly amazing. Highly recommend and we wouldn't go anywhere else!

The team at Sankiri have been an amazing support for our family and our dog Billie.We adopted Billie last year. After trying other training schools with absolutely no success, we were recommended Sankiri.We've been going to regular training sessions since January. From our very first session we were shown the tools and support to guide us in helping Billie to be the very... best dog she can be. This was shown with care, confidence and with no judgement. The team is always there to offer assistance, guidance and answer any questions.The change in Billie over this time has been amazing, from a highly reactive dog who feared other dogs and did not know how to be around them ~ to now she loves other dogs, goes to cafes, loves cuddles from people, loves going on walks, fantastic at the beach just generally a chilled doggo that's loving life! She's come such a long way since we first brought her home.So grateful to have landed at Sankiri!The McMahons and Billie 🤗🐶read more

We adopted Stanley as a 7 month old puppy with no prior training and limited social experiences. He was snappy towards other dogs and wasn't understanding any commands. Within 8 weeks of attending Sankiri training he is a different dog. He is so much more confident, playful with other dogs and we are starting to let him practice his recall off lead. We can take him to social... gatherings now and the dogs he initially snapped at are now his friends. We highly recommend Sankiri Dog Training.read more

My doberman and I just recently finished a year of training with Sankiri Dog Training and Lorraine. In summary, it was to date the best dog training experience we have had during my eight years of being a dog owner (of 3 dogs, all up), and I have been a few places.We got the doberman as a pup in December 2019 just before COVID struck, and so we got restricted like so many... other dog owners from attending dog training. Over a period, our dog became a little too sensitive, reactive and afraid of other dogs.After reaching out to Sankiri, Lorraine came for a visit to assess the dog and recommended two one-on-one sessions and then do group training. From the start, it was obvious to me that Lorraine have had her fair share of difficult dogs to deal with and that she was a skilled dog behaviourist.During the course of the overall training, we quickly got on top of any unwanted behaviour, making the dog relax in the training environment, and were able to shift the dogs focus from the surroundings and over to commands / obedience training.-And all while having fun during the process :)The transformation of the dogs behaviours was remarkable and I do recommend Sankiri to anyone who is in need of dog training.I would like to extend a great THANK YOU to Lorraine and the Sankiri team!read more

Thanks to the team at Sankiri, my 4 year-old rescue (Amstaff/Bull Mastiff Cross) has been transformed from an anxious and reactive dog to a calmer, happier and better behaved one. Before we started at Sankiri, Gomez was highly reactive and we couldn’t walk past birds, cats, rabbits, most dogs, bikes, motorbikes, motorised scooters, golf buggies, people in high-vis, people... wearing hats, people walking close behind (you name it!) without having the fight of our life trying to control him. He has pulled me over while crossing a road, and has even smashed through the front window of our house and seriously injured himself!We were at out wits end! We did try another training school, but we weren’t getting anywhere with him. People were scared to come to our house. The postie was terrified of him and reported him as a “danger”. We had to leave a caravan park because he was scaring everyone. And not only was I worried about walking him, but I was also extremely embarrassed by him.Since training at Sankiri we have come a long way. He is more trusting of other dogs and people, and loves coming to “puppy school” to work with all the other dogs. He can remain in a “drop”, surrounded (closely) by a variety of dogs without any anxiety (even when I drop his lead and walk away). And now he is learning to walk in a heel position and to do a recall without a lead.The best part of all is that you don’t need to rely on having a pocket full of treats. Owners are taught how to use the “tone of your voice” to communicate how you would like your dog to behave. These skills can then be transferred to any situation or problem that you may encounter at home or when “out and about”.Our lives have certainly changed for the better. I love taking him out on walks now, feeling totally confident that I have complete control of him. We have also been able to take him on holidays, staying in caravan parks, without any worry that he might scare people. We are so happy with the results but, best of all, he is so much happier himself!read more

Viking and I love Lorraine and her team at Sankiri Dog Training!Viking, my rescued German Sheperd and I would not have the relationship we have today if we did not have the excellent initial help from Lorraine when Viking was struggling with fear and anxiety.Lorraine's ongoing assistance with Viking and I at the training classes with other dogs and their owners helped us... both gain confidence around other dogs and people.Viking and I go out now on a daily basis for our morning walks without any struggles or problems when we meet other dogs and people.This would have been impossible without Lorraine's help.Thank-you so much Lorraine and the team for everything.Keep up the great work you are doing for us all..read more

I can't express enough how grateful I am to Lorraine, Travis and the whole team at Sankiri Dog Training for the remarkable transformation they brought about in my dog Lucy.Before we started our training journey with Sankiri, Lucy's behavior was beyond challenging. She was uncontrollable around other dogs, pulling me over during walks, and even managed to smash through our... front windows twice! Miraculously, she remained unhurt both times, but I knew we needed professional help.Lorraine specialises in working with dogs facing challenging behavior, including aggression, and her expertise truly shone through. Within the first two weeks at Sankiri, we saw a dramatic change in Lucy's behavior. Her socialisation skills improved, and her obedience became remarkably better. I was stunned by the progress she made.Fast forward 12 months, and Lucy is a completely different dog. She's not only so much better behaved but reaps rewards from the socialisation she gets with the other dogs. The fear and anxiety that once ruled our walks have been replaced by a calm and enjoyable experience. I no longer dread taking her out for walks, thanks to Sankiri's guidance and training techniques.What sets Sankiri Dog Training apart is their guidance to the owners as well as the dogs. Lucy is not the only one who looks forward to our weekly sessions – I'm just as excited to see the progress and bond that we've built.Lucy loves going to 'school' – she has a special "puppy love" for Marlu, one of Lorraine's dogs who assists in the training sessions. The positive environment Sankiri creates, along with their expertise, has turned our dog training experience into an incredibly rewarding journey.If you're struggling with a dog facing behavioral challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend Sankiri Dog Training. Their ability to turn seemingly uncontrollable situations into success stories is remarkable. Thank you, Lorraine, Travis & the team for giving Lucy a chance to become the wonderful companion she is today!read more

Thanks again🐾🐾 Picture of Gilbert after... training…..exhausted.read more

I met Lorraine almost 12 years ago so when my new fur baby came into my life, I had not a doubt in the world as to who I was going to trust to train us. Lorraine and the teams professionalism, respectful and caring approach is second to none and I highly recommend her totally. Believe me I love my fur baby so it’s heart warming to see my little girl so excited to see the... team each weekend, with no shortage of cuddles. We so enjoy our daily walks and going from a shy little ‘save me mum’ puppy to being the first to say hello to everyone in puppy class , I think that is a pretty good recommendation.read more

Lorraine and her team are wonderful, kind and compassionate. Lorraine is also the dog whisperer and can help with any problem, including dogs other trainers find too difficult. Love going to the non-judgemental group training sessions.One of the best results from attending Sankiri is the stronger bond and connection I have with my dog which has been noticed by others where... previously my dog would mostly ignore me.Thank you Lorraine and team at Sankiri!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟read more

We have enjoyed the most wonderful experience with training our adorable3-year-old Whippet at Sankiri Dog Training. Lorraine & her dedicated staff certainly know what they are doing! The training is so much fun, and goes way past the usual sit, stand, drop, & stay commands. There is a wonderful opportunity in class for dogs to encounter a variety of situations, so that when... they discover these situations in their everyday lives, they are able to handle it all with confidence, calmness, and ease. There is a focus on obedience and safety, and class sizes are perfect, as they have given our dog a fabulous chance to mix calmly within the group environment. We cannot recommend this dog training business enough! Thank you Lorraine, and all your staff, for always listening to us, and spending the time to get to know our dog and what he needs. Your professionalism and dedication is so very much appreciated!read more

Very well qualified and educated aswell as experienced dog trainers. My Border Collie wouldn't be where he is now in his training if it wasn't for Lorraine and her team. I can put my boy into a down stay with dogs walking around him and other distractions aswell as reactive dogs and he doesn't move compare that you 1.5 years ago he would of gotten up and maybe even react... depending on the dog. We still have some home behaviours to work through but we have come so far, he can heal properly on a lead now and we are progressing to almost off lead. We love going to class every weekend and it is so well worth the patience and time.Thankyou Lorraine, we don't know what we would do without you, you are a miracle worker.read more

Lorraine and the team at Sankiri have been fantastic. I’ve been attending regular training sessions for the past 12 months and the progress my Ridgeback Jagger has made is amazing. I look back now and can only laugh that I once thought he was uncontrollable/untrainable. Very happy customer and pooch.

I can’t fault the amazing work that Lorraine and her team do each week. Starting out, I was nervous as my little guy, Gus, was/is as stubborn as a staffy can be. But now he loves coming to training to get pats from the whole team and to play with his little pals.Unlike most training companies where they use treats as an incentive for the dogs to listen, Lorraine and her team... have helped build a trusting relationship between me and Gus where I have verbal and non verbal cues that he listens to when we are out and about. Everyone in the street stops and acknowledges how well behaved he is. That’s all thanks to the training and information I’ve learnt from Lorraine and her team.read more

Thanks to Lorraine & the crew at Sankiri, my “notoriously hard to train” Lagotto has become more well balanced & a much better behaved & happy boy. No doubt, this has something to do with the personalised training, patience in helping the owners 😂 & their genuine passion for dogs. It’s such a pleasure to see all the dogs evolving, becoming calm, yet still keeping... their cute quirky ness. Much Appreciated. Nina & Moeread more

After trying to introduce my new puppy to my 7 year old dog it went Terribly wrong, I tried on loose leads on neautral ground and my 7 year old latched on to the puppy when he heard a dog in the distance bark, nobody/ nor the puppy was hurt but it was terrifying, I called Sankiri and Lorraine came out for 2 sessions in my home and gave me some great lessons on how to use a... halter lead on the seven year old and after only 2 sessions he is completely off lead socialising great with our puppy. I am soooo relieved and grateful of the time Lorraine spent with me and our dogs, she showed the older one who was the boss and gave me such valuable advice. It’s important to follow through with what I learned after the lessons. Their training will be ongoing but am confident now to take the older dog to group dog training to continue to socialise both dogs Thank you so much Lorraine, I highly recommend Lorraine to any family having behavioural issues with their dogs.read more

Our beautiful rescue dog Bella (American bulldog x pitbull) came to us as a very anxious and scared dog. She was difficult to walk because she lunged at anything she perceived to be a threat – other dogs, bikes, scooters. On our first training session her whole body was visibly shaking and she wouldn’t let anyone come near her, especially men.
Sankiri training has been... fantastic and within a few months, the changes were unbelievable. The halti harness is a game changer – we still walk Bella with the halti as she feels safer with it on. However, she is also good on collar and off-lead at times.
Bella is a different dog and enjoys going to training – she now goes up to other dogs and people for a sniff and a pat! Bella’s confidence and trust in us has grown exponentially and training has provided us the tools to work with her anxiety.
She now walks calmly beside us and often has a big dopey grin on her face! This training program was the best investment we could have made.
Thank you to the wonderful Sankiri team!

I rescued a 2yr old Great Dane / Irish wolfhound cross (Max) who had been in a dog shelter since 6mths old.He had very little training or social skills & was very fear reactive. From my 1st meeting with Lorraine I knew we were in expert & safe hands. Max tried to resist but Lorraine & Travis always knew how to bring out the best in both him & me. Lorraine, Travis & the team... are so knowledgeable, experienced & patient.
Initially Max was scared & reactive to people, bikes, dogs - every walk was stressful & exhausting.
Max & I have both learnt so much & I can now take him on a walk which is a pleasure that we both enjoy.
I will forever be grateful to Lorraine, Travis & the Sankiri team & would 100% recommend both the individual & group sessions.read more

We trained our 1st Border Collie & thought we knew it all. So we got another Border Collie Zoe
Who is 3 & totally different from her Mum. So having to cross the road from other dogs was not pleasant & a pulling dog so we bit the bullet & had a 1 on 1 with Lorraine then decided to go to the training & it was the best decision we have done. Great friendly staff with all the... challenges of social interaction our Zoe has been a pleasure to walk now with her Mum & brother side by side. We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again at Sankiri it’s been awesome with no more panicking & more tools we have learned about how to help our dogs . seen so many different breeds & how they react at the start to how they have matured at the end

I can't speak highly enough of Lorraine and the team at Sankiri. My boy, Dusty (Labrador 13 months) has been working with the team at Sankiri since February this year. Lorraine's approach to training is amazing, you do not use food to bride your dog. The method teaches your dog to actually listen to you regardless of whether you have treats in your pocket. Like any training,... you get back what you are prepared to put into it, and Lorraine and her team will give back 10 fold again. I can now take Dusty to work with me, in a busy and dangerous furniture manufacturing factory. Around forklifts, trucks, saws, and CNC machines and feel comfortable that he is safe and under effective control. We both look forward to going to training each weekend and are very grateful to Lorraine and her team for all that she has done for us. Highly, highly recommend ...read more

I've been coming to Sankiri for almost a year now and can't praise them highly enough. I'd had a great deal of problems with other trainers being unable to help with my anxious fear aggressive GSD and integrate him into classes. Thanks to many exciting adventures by Travis, a few private lessons and persistence, Storm has been integrated into group classes for at least the... last 6 months. Without the help and encouragement of Lorraine and especially Travis I probably would have given up on training.So glad I stuck it out.read more

So impressed with the training and everything Sankiri Dog Training provides. They offer training knowledge that gives you the ability and confidence to set you and your family up for success.

Lorraine has been a great help to Teddy our Australian Shepherd. He was hurt at 16 months old and lost all trust with strangers. I didn’t know what to do with him as he pulled on the lead and would growl if anyone approached him. Now after training with Lorraine I can walk him without pulling and walk past lots of people without worrying about him. Lorraine has taught me so... much over the time we have been going to training I will always be very grateful to her and her staff.read more

There are honestly not enough words to express how grateful I am for you!
I originally came to you in hope that I could go into the vets & specialist without being snuck through the back door because of Oscars aggressive reactivity with seeing another dog. Never in my wildest dreams could I foresee I could call over your beautiful boy (with Oscar on a loose lead) and have a... calm experience.
Not only have you taught me to be a better handler but your boy has taught Oscar how to be a different, confident dog. Oscar has never sniffed another dog ever until your boy taught him how too and then Oscar allowed your boy to sniff him
Biggest thank you 🙏🏼read more

Lorraine is amazing- Hunter was an 18 month old German Shepherd when I adopted him - he is strong and pulled on the lead while walking and even slipped his collar to escape before i started training with Lorraine !

Lorraine and her staff are simply the very best. our English Foxhound came to us as a ten month old. He has serious anxiety and behavioural issues. He barked pretty much non stop for three months and is extremely reactive to other dogs.
The constant support we have recieved from Lorraine via phone, in person and via text, (even during lockdown) has been fantastic....
Sherlock is a work in progress but we are very happy with his progress thus far and believe Lorraine will help us to achieve our long term goals for Sherlock.

We got Keiko as a 1 year old German shepherd x Akita rescue. It was quite clear she had previously had no training or socialisation, and was a very friendly but boisterous dog. We struggled to walk her, take her anywhere, with her lunging at cars, bikes, runners and especially other dogs. We tried 3 different trainers, puppy school and a community dog school with limited... success. We came across Lorraine on a google search; Lorraine really was our last hope!
I rang and had a long chat with Lorraine over our concerns of just yet ‘another trainer,’ however speaking with Lorraine, she put our minds to rest, she sounded genuine. Knowing Lorraine spent many years training the rescues that could not be rehomed and then successfully rehoming then must mean she knew something!
At a first home visit, after being shown the basics, within half an hour Keiko was holding a drop next to one of Lorraine’s dogs in our hallway! It was amazing to see!
We have now completed an 8 week programme and are attending a dog socialisation class. Keiko now walks beautifully on a lead, we go to cafes and she lays beside us no matter who passes, and seeing her run around with other dogs in class, well we never thought we could get there! We will continue to work with Lorraine with recall and anything else that crops up over the way, I know Lorraine will support us.
We couldn’t recommend her enough! She is the Australian dog whisperer! Thanks Lorraine 🙏🏼🐕💕read more

We have really loved taking our Border Collie Charlie to training at Sankiri! Charlie has been training at Sankiri for at least 6 months where he has leant so much and we have become more confident with him as pet parents! We previously had a Border Collie who was quite lazy and slow where Charlie is active and fast, so we knew we needed some great training techniques to help... him be a more disciplined and happy dog and we needed to be happy too! Sankiri has made each training session informative and achievable and the staff are very knowledge and friendly. Thanks Lorraine, Amy and the rest of the team at Sankiri for helping us achieve our goals. Also seeing the puppies come in after our class is one of my favourite parts !read more

From the first assessment i knew Lorraine would be our saviour.
We had been from school to school with our naughty Beagle and nothing seemed to help with the behavioural issues.
Lorraine showed up for our assessment early, very professional and i immediately felt at ease. She listened to all our issues, explained how we would achieve our goals for our dog and it... was nice to know i wasn't alone. Lorraine showed us a few technques to stop my naughty dog from jumping and i could see results straight away
Our private sessions with Lorraine really helped with our in home behavioural issues and taught us how to get the initial control over our dog and now we are in group training and look forward to it every weekend. Every cent we have spent at Sankiri has been well worth it. Thanks Lorraine you have changed our lives.read more
We had been from school to school with our naughty Beagle and nothing seemed to help with the behavioural issues.
Lorraine showed up for our assessment early, very professional and i immediately felt at ease. She listened to all our issues, explained how we would achieve our goals for our dog and it... was nice to know i wasn't alone. Lorraine showed us a few technques to stop my naughty dog from jumping and i could see results straight away

Before meeting Lorraine, my puppy was a hassle to walk, constantly pulling. After only a couple of home visits and a few group sessions, my boy was walking beside me, sitting and dropping on command.
Highly recommend.

My rottweiler x shepard didn't like people or other dogs she was a problem to walk because she would be barking, trying to scramble towards people and other dogs while i would be trying to hold onto her.
When she needed to visit the vet, it was a very difficult task and we were told that she was dangerous and possibly beyond help.
We contacted Lorrain at Sankiri because... we saw that in her own environment and even with our cat she was calm so we believed our dog could learn we just needed help.
The first couple of one on one lessons were in our own backyard and our dog wasn't very polite to Lorrine barking and baring teeth etc Lorraine gave us the technics and tools to correct the behavior of our dog and after only a few lessons she was responding amazingly and quickly and enjoying her training time.
She began to accept Lorrain after only 3 lessons and we noticed she was more friendly towards other people that would come to our home, we no longer had to put the dog in the backyard while we entertained.
Lorraine introduced our dog to her own and we saw that our dog was ok, she actually enjoyed being with another dog, there was no barking or anything, we were astounded to see the progress.
Our dog is now in group sessions and to this day has never even barked at another dog whilst in group, she is amazingly calm and responsive.
On Sunday morning, she knows she's going to visit her friends and crys and runs to the cupboard where her lead is because she just wants to get to class.
She can now be let off lead and runs and plays and enjoys her pats from other people and other dogs don't bother her at all.
We started with Sankiri thinking our dog was beyond help, but now our dog is a beautiful, friendly, happy addition to our family.
Without the team at Sankiri I'd hate to think what might have become of our dog, I can't thank them enough.
Our dog went from unfriendly, uncooperative, lonely and fearful to being our best friend, very well behaved, calm and happy pleasurable member of the family.read more
