Welcome to Polite Paws – Adelaide Based Dog Training & Behaviour Experts
At Polite Paws, we believe that every dog deserves to be understood, loved, and guided through positive and effective training. Based in Adelaide, we are passionate about helping pet owners build strong, lasting bonds with their furry companions through science-based, force-free training methods.
Who We Are
We are a team of experienced and dedicated dog trainers committed to providing high-quality training services tailored to each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether you have a playful puppy just starting their journey, a rescue dog needing reassurance, or an older companion requiring behavioral support, we are here to help. Our mission is to make training an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both you and your dog.
Our Training Philosophy
Training your dog is about more than just teaching commands—it’s about fostering a deep bond built on trust, clear communication, and mutual respect. Our philosophy revolves around positive reinforcement techniques that encourage desired behaviors without the use of force or intimidation. By using treats, praise, and play, we make learning an enjoyable and enriching experience for your dog, ensuring that they are motivated, engaged, and happy.
The Importance of a Furmily
Dogs are social animals that thrive in structured communities, and when they join our families, they become part of our unique “furmily.” Just like any family member, they need guidance, patience, and understanding to thrive. At Polite Paws, we take a holistic approach to training, focusing not just on obedience but also on building confidence, reducing anxiety, and strengthening the human-dog relationship.
Our Training Programs
We offer a variety of training programs to suit the diverse needs of Adelaide’s dog owners, including:
Puppy Training: Establishing a strong foundation for a well-mannered and confident dog.
Basic & Advanced Obedience: Teaching essential commands and refining skills for better behavior at home and in public.
Behavioral Modification: Addressing common challenges such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, excessive barking, and more.
Our training methods are customized to fit Adelaide’s unique urban and suburban environments, ensuring that your dog is well-prepared for everyday situations.

When you train with us, you become part of a supportive community of dog lovers who believe in compassionate, effective, and ethical training practices. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to confidently guide your dog through life’s challenges while strengthening your special bond.
