Underdog Training & Behaviour Consulting

Underdog is an award-winning Melbourne-based dog training and behaviour consulting service dedicated to fostering positive, stress-free relationships between dogs and their owners.
All trainers hold formal qualifications in dog training and use gentle, science-based techniques.
Steering clear of dominance-based methods—Underdog helps with obedience, socialisation, anxiety, aggression, enrichment, and more, all through a supportive, judgment-free approach.

Whether it’s via tailored private sessions, specialised behaviour consultations, or their comprehensive range of four-week group classes (from Puppy Pre-School to Elementary, including agility), Underdog ensures each dog receives the right level of care and attention.
With small class sizes and expert instruction, they focus on prevention as well as resolution of behavioural issues—making training enjoyable and effective!

They also pioneered “When Freddy Meets Fido” sessions, designed to prevent conflict when introducing babies into homes with dogs—an innovation that earned Underdog owner Tamara a Telstra Women’s Business Award for Innovation in 2009.
