We are Doggi. A Brisbane-based dog behavioural school dedicated to the psychology, development and happiness of dogs.

But we do more than that, too. 

Our purpose is to provide a space for you to learn all you need to know about your dog.

Whether you’re based in Brisbane and want your dog to develop better behaviours and form a better connection with them, provide them with social stimulation and exercise during our day program and destination days, or are based anywhere else and want to develop expert insights to raise your dog with behaviour in mind through our accessible trainings and videos. We are here to help you. 

We are also the home of Doggi Desserts, design a range of dog products and have an in-demand dog membership, to support dog owners everywhere.

When we say destination, we mean an all-inclusive dog experience. If you have a question, need support and want to provide the best life for your dog, you can find everything you need here at Doggi.

At Doggi…

  • We practice a behaviour first, psychology based approach to dog training. We are experts in how dogs think, behave and live, breed to breed. By using a combination of theory and practical based techniques, we work with your dogs to kick bad habits, overcome anxiety and foster positive interactions through pack walking, socialising and guided activities that stimulate both their body and mind, to support your dog in feeling calm, comfortable and confident in themself and their surroundings. Then we empower you to continue this work at home.

  • We show you through a behavioural lens, how you can do the work at home to set your dog up for the best possible life by adapting their behaviour and habits. By doing this, we’re showing you how to get the best out of your relationship with your dog and form a long-lasting connection with your dog that brings more joy than pain to your life.

  • As long as you’re ready and committed to the work, we’ll support you and your dog along the way. We’ll provide trainings and videos, support, feedback and guidance so you know how to provide leadership and take care of your dog at home.

  • Our purpose is to create a happier world for dogs by educating humans on their needs and behaviour. Often bad behaviour in dogs comes from uneducated humans and we’re here to change that.

Our Story

Hi! I’m Laura. Expert dog behaviourist and founder of Doggi. 

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember; their loving nature, unique personality and the way they bring a sense of joy to our lives. Their loyalty towards humans and their love for the simple things, makes them a great companion. 

But it wasn’t until I had behavioural issues with my own dog that my love grew deeper. I went on to learn and study the behaviour of dogs to understand what makes them tick, from breed to breed. How to raise, train and fulfil them, walk them, feed them, nourish them and spend time with them. 

It was after going through this experience myself that I knew I wanted to do more, I wanted to build a career and life dedicating my time to dogs and to help people better understand their dogs too. 

I have completed intense training with one of the world’s best dog behaviourists, Cheri Wulf Lucas in the USA, to understand rehabilitating unbalanced behaviour in dogs, as well as numerous learnings through educational seminars and certifications here in Australia. My life-long commitment to understanding dogs will never end and we’re proud to be the leading dog behaviourists in Brisbane, empowering dog owners with extensive knowledge, understanding, practical teachings and dedication to the furry animals we all love so much

You didn’t make the decision to bring a dog into your life only to feel frustrated with their behaviour. So let’s work together to change that so you can enjoy your dog a whole lot more.
