Our obedience training programs for dogs and puppies aim to refine your pet’s behaviour and promote long-term trust between you and your companion. Whether it’s pulling on the lead, greeting guests too enthusiastically, poor recall, or stubborn tendencies, our training space allows your dog to learn without the usual suburban noise. Your dog benefits from wide-open safe spaces, managed distractions, and structured routines when training on our 160-acre Degilbo property. Rural environments promote quicker learning because dogs feel relaxed and confident. This unique setting is something Cheltenham suburbs can’t provide, encouraging Cheltenham clients to travel for superior results.
We apply the latest positive-reinforcement methods together with balanced training to promote steady learning. Your dog gains clarity and assurance when following commands, with programs personalised to their breed and temperament.Our programs comply with the Queensland Government’s responsible dog ownership guidelines, encouraging safe behaviour in public areas and effective handler responsibility through validated training methods.
Our puppy training programs encourage healthy habits from the very start. With puppies learning rapidly, early direction is key to helping them develop into confident, friendly, and obedient dogs. We help with:
Toilet training
Socialisation foundations
Crate introduction
Leash manners
Basic commands
Early behaviour shaping (biting, chewing, barking)
Instead of navigating a noisy urban setting, your puppy enjoys a peaceful rural learning space that supports both relaxation and confidence. Cheltenham clients often note that city puppy schools feel crowded and overstimulating. At The Mutts Nuts, your pup learns comfortably, with no chaos involved.
Our team offers tailored advice on daily routines, feeding schedules, enrichment activities, and exercise to help your puppy thrive for years to come.
We specialise in dog therapy training that supports emotional balance, confidence, and behavioural steadiness. A relaxed countryside environment helps stressed or uncertain dogs progress comfortably.
Our spacious 160-acre property offers therapeutic dog training that includes:
Calm exposure training
Confidence-building exercises
Structured routine development
Behaviour reset sessions

Dogs from Cheltenham frequently show signs of overstimulation in tightly packed suburbs. Our rural environment counterbalances this with open spaces, quiet, and natural calm.
We work strictly within the Queensland Government’s pet safety, welfare and responsible dog management guidelines, providing assurance that our training is compliant, ethical and safe. Most dogs show noticeable behavioural progress right from the beginning.
Our team also delivers dog Bowen therapy, a mild manual technique that aids muscle balance, joint comfort, emotional grounding, and recovery after overexertion. Bowen therapy is ideal for:
The stillness of Degilbo’s countryside provides an ideal backdrop for Bowen sessions, helping dogs stay composed and responsive. Many Cheltenham dog owners come to us for the enhanced relaxation a rural environment offers.
