Professional Dog Training for Sutherland Shire, Western Sydney & Wollongong
At Hanrob Dog Training Heathcote, we help dogs of all breeds and temperaments become well-mannered companions. With our state-of-the-art training academy set on the edge of the Heathcote National Park, we offer a safe, spacious, and engaging environment for your dog to learn and thrive.

Does your dog bark non-stop at noises, people, or when left alone? Our professional dog training programs help reduce excessive barking and teach your dog when to be calm and quiet.
Struggling with lead pulling on walks? Our dog obedience training teaches loose-leash walking so you can enjoy relaxed and controlled walks with your dog.
Is your dog ignoring basic cues like sit, stay, or come? Our dog training and obedience programs help reinforce reliable recall and responsiveness in real-world situations.
Does your dog jump on guests or struggle to settle down? We provide professional dog training to teach impulse control, calm behavior, and good manners.
If your dog lunges, growls, or reacts negatively to people or other dogs, our dog training for reactive dogs helps build confidence, control, and positive social interactions.
Destructive chewing and digging can be frustrating. Our Hanrob dog training programs address boredom, anxiety, and bad habits with proper training and enrichment.
Give your pup the best start in life! Our puppy school and training teaches socialisation, obedience, and essential skills to help your dog grow into a well-mannered companion.
We offer a range of dog training programs that can be personalised to suit your dog’s needs and your budget, ensuring the best results for you and your pet.

Absolutely Outstanding Training Experience with Matt at Heathcote Hanrob! I cannot recommend Matt at Heathcote Hanrob highly enough! My dog, Bobby, spent three weeks in training while boarding, and the transformation has been incredible. From day one, Matt provided exceptional care, regular updates, and a level of dedication that truly sets him apart. Having worked with other trainers in the past, I can confidently say that Matt’s approach and expertise are unmatched. Bobby came home with major improvements in his behaviour, and it’s clear that Matt genuinely cares about the dogs he trains. If you’re looking for top-tier dog training, look no further—this is the best decision I’ve made for my pup! Thank you, Matt and the team at Hanrob!

We booked our 3 dogs in for 28-day training at the Heathcote facility. My experience from booking to reception to boarding/training was very professional and supportive. A big and very special mention to Amanda & Matt who provided amazing interest, love and care to our dogs. Their level of engagement with us via live training recordings, pictures and chat during their stay was beyond my expectations. I also respected the honesty displayed when one of my dogs came home early, as he no longer required training, and so a refund was organised promptly, very impressed.

Took my German Shepherd here for the 2-week training program. She is better behaved than before. Great contact between Hanrob with updates and training videos. Also got a 1-hour training session with my dog and trainer with booklets of training tips and dog knowledge. My dog has also come back clean. Thank you.

I sent my puppy to Hanrob for the 20 day Stay & Train course. Due to an injury, I was unable to train her when she came to live with me at 8 weeks old, and she fast became a stressed out, destructive anxious puppy and sent my home into chaos. As I was unable to correct her behaviour, I sent her to Hanrob for the 20 day Stay & Train. She returned confident, well socialised with people and dogs, and perfectly trained in the necessary basics. Most importantly, she came home happy and manageable, and has improved daily since her return. I highly recommend Hanrob to any dog owner who wants correct specific issues, or just to bring out the best in their dog. Brilliant Service, wonderful trainers, and outcome. I couldn't be happier!
