Our dog obedience sessions aim to refine daily behaviour and nurture a confident partnership between you and your dog. From lead pulling to guest jumping, unreliable recall, or stubborn traits, we provide an environment ideal for focused training without suburban interference.Training on our spacious 160-acre Degilbo property gives dogs the safety, structure, and calm environment they need to develop strong habits.

It’s a level of space and calm Chevallum suburbs can’t provide, attracting many clients from Chevallum for outstanding results.
Using contemporary positive-reinforcement practices supported by balanced training, we teach your dog to respond reliably. Your dog develops confident, consistent command responses, with programs shaped around their breed, character, and behaviour needs.We develop our programs according to the Queensland Government’s responsible dog ownership guidelines, supporting safe behaviour in public and meaningful handler responsibility through evidence-based training methods.
Our puppy training programs give pups the groundwork for positive habits right from the beginning. Because puppies pick things up so quickly, early direction helps them develop into confident, sociable, and obedient dogs. We help with:

Early behaviour shaping (biting, chewing, barking)
Unlike inner-city puppy schools, your pup benefits from the tranquillity of the countryside, helping them feel more relaxed and confident. Many Chevallum clients say city sessions feel overstimulating. At The Mutts Nuts, your puppy can learn steadily in a calm, chaos-free atmosphere.
