Our dog obedience programs are built to improve your dog’s daily behaviour while strengthening the trust between you and your pet. From lead pulling and jumping on visitors to unreliable recall and stubborn habits, our training provides a calm setting where your dog can concentrate and develop new skills away from neighbourhood distractions.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 Gilldora suburbs can’t provide, encouraging Gilldora clients to travel for superior results.
We use current positive-reinforcement training in combination with balanced principles to support effective learning. Your dog builds clarity and confidence in responding to commands, with each program tailored to their breed and behavioural traits.We base our programs on the responsible dog ownership standards set out by the Queensland Government, fostering safe public behaviour and strong handler responsibility through recognised training practices.

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. Gilldora clients often note that city puppy schools feel crowded and overstimulating. At The Mutts Nuts, your pup learns comfortably, with no chaos involved.
Our trainers share personalised insights into at-home routines, feeding approaches, enrichment ideas, and exercise support to prepare your puppy for a great future.
