We’ve designed our obedience training programs to enhance your dog’s behaviour and foster lasting confidence between you and your pet. From pulling on the lead and jumping at guests to unreliable recall and stubborn habits, your dog can learn in a distraction-free environment.Our 160-acre Degilbo property offers spacious, safe training areas with controlled distractions and clear routines designed to strengthen good behaviour. Dogs often learn faster in rural environments where they feel calm and secure. It’s an advantage Doonan suburbs don’t offer, prompting many Doonan clients to visit us for premium training outcomes.
By integrating positive-reinforcement methods with balanced training, we help your dog respond to commands confidently and consistently. All training plans are tailored to their breed, character, and behaviour level.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 puppies the support they need to develop great habits from day one. Fast learning at this age means early training helps them become confident, social, and well-mannered dogs. We help with:
Toilet training
Socialisation foundations
Crate introduction
Leash manners
Basic commands
Early behaviour shaping (biting, chewing, barking)
While city puppy schools can feel cramped and overwhelming, our countryside environment provides the space and tranquillity your pup needs to build real confidence. Many Doonan clients report that metro classes are too stimulating. At The Mutts Nuts, your puppy learns in a calm, orderly way.
Our trainers provide clear guidance on at-home routines, feeding habits, enrichment ideas, and exercise recommendations to support your puppy’s long-term wellbeing.
Our dog therapy training focuses on emotional balance, confidence building, and behaviour stabilisation. Dogs experiencing stress, fear, uncertainty, reactivity, or trauma benefit greatly from a peaceful countryside-based training environment.

Confidence-building exercises
Structured routine development
Behaviour reset sessions
Emotional stabilisation through predictable patterns
Overstimulation is common for many Doonan dogs living in dense suburbs, but our rural property offers the soothing space and natural environment needed for better learning and relaxation.
Our training aligns with Queensland Government guidelines on pet safety, welfare and responsible dog management, so you can feel assured that our approach is ethical, safe and fully compliant. From day one, you’ll notice your dog responding positively.
We also offer dog Bowen therapy, a gentle, hands-on technique that supports muscle balance, joint mobility, emotional grounding, and recovery after strain. Bowen therapy is ideal for:
Holding Bowen sessions in Degilbo’s calm countryside allows dogs to stay relaxed and cooperative. Doonan dog owners frequently visit, appreciating the deeper relaxation that occurs in a rural setting.

Nutrition and feeding structure
Energy output vs. exercise
Enrichment needs
Mobility and joint function
Rest quality
Stress levels and triggers
This approach helps your dog’s behaviour training by nurturing both their physical health and mental clarity.

Feeding consistency
Mental stimulation

We assist you in learning what helps your dog feel secure, composed, and engaged during training sessions both here and at home.
