Our Small Breed Dog Training Programs
Small dogs often have big, boss-like personalities, which makes small dog obedience training essential. Our small breed dog training programs cover key commands like sit, stay, drop and recall. These basics help your dog stay safe in busy places or when meeting larger dogs.
Our training also improves focus, encourages better habits and strengthens the bond between you and your furry family member. We give you the tools to handle your little pocket rocket with more confidence at home or when out and about.
Our Training for Small Breed Dogs
Each dog our team meets is unique. That’s why we offer different types of small dog training to suit your dog, whether they’re young and excitable or more stubborn and set in their ways.
- Puppy training - For the little ones learning good habits, potty training, how to socialise and how to avoid chewing your best shoes
- Obedience training - Sit, stay, recall and small dog leash training to stop every walk from turning into a game of tug-of-war or chasey
- Behavioural training - Support for barking (or yapping), digging up gardens, chewing on everything or anxious behaviours
- Aggressive small dog training - Helping reactive or defensive small dogs to stay calm and be sociable
- Bite inhibition training - Teaching your little one bite control so your pup learns to play gently with you and your family
Why Choose Us for Small Dog Training?
Small dogs need big understanding. It’s easy to overlook bad habits when your dog is small, adorable and fits in your lap. But even little behaviours can turn into big problems over time. Our trainers specialise in working with small breed dogs, using gentle, tailored methods that suit their size and temperament. From anxious pups to overconfident barkers, we’ve trained hundreds of small dogs across Sydney to feel more secure, more relaxed, and better behaved.
Experienced Trainers Specialising in Small-Sized Dogs
From nervous Chihuahuas to bossy Terriers, our experienced dog trainers know how to train a small dog without force or fear. We take time to learn each dog’s personality and adjust the training to match their energy, attention span and comfort level.
These testimonials from happy clients highlight our dedication and the transformative results we achieve:
Positive Reinforcement Techniques
Our team only uses positive reinforcement because it works. Reward-based, consistent and kind training helps your small dog feel relaxed and motivated. Whether it’s praise, food, or a favourite toy, we make learning fun and safe. That means less stress and better long-term behaviour.
Most Popular Small Dog Breeds
At Pets Training and Boarding, we regularly train popular small breeds like:
- Chihuahuas
- Pomeranians
- Dachshunds
- Terriers
- Toy Poodles
These tiny dogs are intelligent, energetic and affectionate, but without guidance, they can become anxious, bossy or vocal.
Our small dog obedience training classes are flexible and customised. Whether your dog is keen to please or takes their time warming up, we adjust to suit their pace. Every small dog has the potential to be calm, confident and well-mannered.

Dog Grooming for Small Breeds
Your pooch deserves to be pampered, but small breeds can often be a little sensitive or wary of being touched. Our team is experienced with dog grooming for small dogs, and we keep each session gentle, patient and positive.
Small Dogs Customised Training Plans
Every small dog has their own quirks. Some pull on the lead, some bark at anything that moves, and some panic the moment you step out the door. Whether it’s leash training, separation anxiety, or territorial aggression, we build small dog training plans around your dog’s specific challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you specialise in training small dogs with behavioural issues like barking or biting?
Yes. We work with many small dogs that bark too much, nip when nervous or show signs of anxiety. Our training is about building calm, steady habits through rewards and trust.
How experienced are your trainers with handling small breed dogs?
Our caring and experienced trainers work with small breed dogs every day. We understand their quirks, their body language and how to make training feel like play, not pressure.
What is the typical duration of training for small breed dogs?
It depends on your goals and your little dog’s temperament. Some dogs improve after a few sessions, while others take more time. We’ll give you a clearer idea after we’ve met your dog at your first consultation.
Can small breed dogs with separation anxiety benefit from your training services?
Yes. Anxiety in smaller breed dogs is quite common. We can help your little bundle of joy become more confident and independent using safe, proven methods that reduce anxiety gradually.
