HATZ OFF DOG TRAINING
The Canine Academy
The Academy gives your dog the chance to grow in ways that simply aren’t possible in a standard daycare. Every day is shaped around their confidence, emotional wellbeing, and individual goals, helping them become calmer, happier, and more capable in the real world. With expert guidance, structured routines, and personalised support, your dog gets the space to learn, thrive, and truly become the best version of themselves — and you get to enjoy the difference at home.
Science-backed daycare with built-in behavioural development
The Canine Academy is a structured, science-led day-care environment where dogs spend their day practising essential life skills, building confidence, and developing calm, adaptable behaviour under the guidance of a qualified canine behaviour practitioner.
​
Owners do not attend sessions. Instead, dogs learn through carefully designed activities, controlled social opportunities, and individualised support that reflects their emotional needs and developmental stage.
You will see the progress in your dog’s behaviour at home, in your own time, without pressure or overwhelm.
What Makes The Academy Different
-
Evidence-based curriculum grounded in canine learning theory and behavioural science
-
Calm, structured routines that promote emotional stability and reduce stress
-
Small group sizes for safe, high-quality learning and individual attention
-
Daily enrichment and skill-building tailored to each dog’s needs
-
Professional oversight from a behaviour specialist, not general daycare staff
Optional One-to-One Support
If you would like to build on your dog’s Academy progress, you can book private one-to-one sessions. These sessions help you:
-
Understand the science behind your dog’s behaviour
-
Learn how to maintain and advance the skills they are developing
-
See behavioural results daily rather than weekly, accelerating your dog’s progress
-
Benefit from personalised coaching tailored to your home environment
How It Works
Your dog attends the Academy for their scheduled sessions, where they take part in:
-
Controlled social interactions
-
Confidence-building activities
-
Calmness and impulse-control exercises
-
Environmental enrichment
-
Real-life skills that transfer directly into home life
You do not need to be present. The learning happens here, and you simply enjoy the results.
Who the Academy Is For
-
Dogs already in training who benefit from structure, routine, and calm learning
-
Owners who want progress without attending classes

Dogs needing confidence, social skills, or emotional regulation

Families who value ethical, science-backed behavioural support
Weekly Progress You Can See
Each week, you will receive:
-
A clear update on your dog’s development

Guidance on how to support progress at home (if you choose to)
There is no pressure and no homework. Just steady, meaningful improvement.
