Muckyhound is headed up by Jo Malherbe, an experienced and highly qualified dog trainer and Behaviour Technician.  At Muckyhound we base our training programs and behaviour work on scientific training theories with positive reinforcement forming the foundation of all our work.

We pursue one simple goal: to show and teach dog owners how to get the very best from their dogs and puppies. A trained family dog is a pleasure to be around which makes it easy to enjoy a happy, exciting and loving life together.

We believe that training really needs to be entertaining for both dog and owner.  We use effective reward based training tailored to all family members, whatever the age or physical ability.  No matter how old your dog is we have the right solution – be it puppy, adolescent, adult or a senior.

Muckyhound Dog Training covers a variety of areas from teaching puppy life skills & basic foundation training through to trick & clicker training. We offer One-to-One@Home training programs for adolescent and adult dogs.  Good Behaviour group training is also available.

    -- Adele Kenna "Chief (Rottweiler) and I have had a one-on-one session and attended puppy learn and play. He also attends doggy day care twice a week, even though I'm at home, so he can socialise with plenty of other dogs. I can't begin to tell you how much we have both gained from this experience. He is already the sweetest, most well-behaved and social puppy thanks to all the advice and training we have received at Muckyhound. I'll be recommending you to everyone I know."

    -- Caroline Whelan "Kaiser has done his puppy training.....and has turned out to be one of the best dogs to focus. His "sit" and "stay" have come on amazingly.  I recommend people take their dogs to Muckyhound......you'll be so glad you did."

    -- Brenda Coburn "A year ago I contacted Jo about Ozzie and his anxiety as a pup. I can honestly say without Jo and her fantastic guidance, recommendations and patience (mainly with me!) Ozzie would not have progressed like he has done in a year. He attended the Puppy Foundation Classes and achieved a great understanding of the basics.   He absolutely loves it and his socialisation with other dogs is great. I would highly recommend The Muckyhound crew to any dog owner!"

    -- Karen Alford "I contacted Jo about 6 months ago for beginner classes for my boxer pup. Since taking part in the group classes he has come on brilliantly, and we had great fun doing them too.  It has been great for him as he is very a social dog now and loves all the play and attention there.  If Cooper hears the word "Jo" or "school" he goes nuts with excitement. Keep up the great work!"

    -- Kay Welch "Casper is sparked out in front of the fire after another fantastic day with Muckyhound.  He attends one day per week and as a result is a much more sociable dog. This is supported by his attendance at the beginner and intermediate training classes. Bring on the advanced class. What a great change Muckyhounds has made to us all!"
