About Us

Hi, we are Matthew and Emily from Zigro Canine and we have a passion for helping owners maximise their relationship with their dogs via a balanced training methodology. Balanced training utilises the four quadrants of operant conditioning, which is the method in which dogs (and humans) learn to behave.

Utilizing a positive reinforcement technique 95% of the time.

After rehoming a pandemic puppy we understand all too well the struggles that owners can face in the aftermath of coronavirus.

We spent countless hours and poured so much money into training, only for us to be be left tearing our hair out- nothing seemed to be working! Once we found a training style that worked for our dog everything changed, it was like a switch flicked and suddenly it all made sense! That is when we decided to start our journey into dog training so we could save people all that time, money and heartache.

Currently we are training in, canine behaviour, canine nutrition, pet first aid, dog walking and dog care/sitting. We specialise in guiding owners through all aspects of dog ownership and training.

There is no better feeling than when both dog and owner leave us happy, we want to help you lift that weight off your shoulders.

You are not in this alone!

Ziggy doing some neutrality training in a local cafe with Zigro Canine

Neutral behaviour is key when taking your dog in to a real world situation.

I took my pup Inka to have a training session with Zigrocanine to get some guidance around lead-walking and some pesky habits she’s got like jumping up (all the time).

They were super helpful, gave me some really solid guidance that’s been easy to implement at home, and kept everything simple and uncomplicated.

In addition, they were also just lovely people!

If you have any qualms or queries about dog training I’d highly recommend them.
