ABOUT flying paws
Helping dogs and their humans feel calmer, more confident and more connected.
Helping dogs and their humans feel calmer, more capable, and truly understood.
At Flying Paws, we help dogs and their humans build real-life skills using kind, science-based training that supports the whole dog, their behaviour, emotions, and wellbeing.
We believe every dog has the potential to be a resilient, happy companion, and we’re here to help make that happen without fear, force, or pressure.
Who we are
Flying Paws is an award-winning dog training business based in Tasmania, supporting families through every stage of their dog’s development, from early foundations to complex behavioural challenges
Our training is grounded in modern behavioural science and focused on practical outcomes that actually work in everyday life. We don’t train for perfection — we train for confidence, communication, and long-term success.
In 2025, we were proud to be named Australian Small Business Champions in Pet Training Services, as well as Australian Women’s Small Business Champions Award Finalists in the Pet Services category. Our work has also been acknowledged locally with the 2025 Central Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry Innovation Award and recognised for over a decade of contribution to the community, and featured in Australian Dog Lover Magazine.
What we do
Our programs are designed to support dogs and humans together, because lasting change happens when both ends of the lead are supported.
This includes:
- Puppy training and early foundations
- Follow-on and real-life skills programs
- Behaviour support and family dog mediation
- Evidence-based education that empowers owners, not overwhelms them
Every program is tailored, practical, and focused on helping dogs succeed in the environments they actually live in.
What makes Flying Paws different
We don’t believe in quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we focus on:
- Kind, science-based training: Using positive reinforcement to create lasting behaviour change without fear or force.
- Stronger dog–human relationships: Training should build trust and understanding, not stress or control.
- Real-life results: We train for everyday situations, walks, visitors, routines, and the moments that matter most.
- Making training enjoyable: Dogs (and humans) learn best when they feel safe, engaged, and supported.
- Support at every step: Whether you’re starting with a puppy or navigating challenges, we’re here to guide you with clarity and care.
Our philosophy
We believe good training should:
- Feel achievable, not overwhelming
- Support emotional wellbeing as well as behaviour
- Be flexible, realistic, and compassionate
- Help dogs thrive, not just “behave”
Our goal is to help you build a confident, resilient dog and a partnership that feels easier, calmer, and more enjoyable.
