"Nath and the team at Walkys have been fantastic - listening to our concerns, catering to Murphy's needs and giving us so many helpful strategies to use at home. The added benefit of the membership including a full day of structured play and training has been a game changer. Murphy's obedience and walking has improved phenomenally in just a few weeks. We love the care and enrichment Murphy gets from Walky's and would recommend them to anyone who wants help with their furry friend!"

Huge thanks to the entire team! I Bringing a newborn home to my golden retriever was nothing like I’d seen on TikTok! but with your help, we made it through! Your patience with Mo was incredible. A special shoutout to Nathan for the 1:1 home sessions, what a game chager!. And Sian, thank you for making everything so easy to organise. You’ve all made such a difference, and I truly appreciate it! If you're thinking of signing up - DO IT!

Walkys has been amazing for Molly and Dexter. The team have built beautiful relationships with them and both of them have made big changes in their behaviour. We initially got Nath out to teach us some things at home due to barking complaints and now we not only have very little barking but they are calm and happy. Sian has been super flexible in booking them in and cares for them like her own. I cannot believe that after 7.5 years these two can walk happily on a lead together and not pull my arms off.

I adopted a gorgeous rescue doggo from a local council. Lilah is the sweetest girl. She developed lead reactivity after being attacked by another dog about 3 months after coming to live with me. A work colleague told me about Walkys and her amazing experience with them. Lilah and I had 2 one on one sessions with Nathan which were amazing. I learnt so much and Nathan was so patient, kind, incredibly knowledgeable and so lovely with Lilah. I decided to start Lilah in daycare at Walkys after that.
I can honestly say it's been an incredible experience all the way with Walkys. Lilah is getting so much more confident, calm, settled in general and her lead reactivity has improved dramatically. Nathan and all staff including Sian, Tammy, Tamsin and other staff at daycare are so helpful, caring and lovely. I am always asking queations about things with Lilah and everyone has so much time to help. I recommend Walkys to people all the time as an amazing organisation to help people learn understand and provide the best life for our doggies.

I give Walkys a 5 star review. My then 3yr old Dachshund started his journey with walkys when I did not know how to handle my Dachshunds reactivity. I booked my 1:1 session with Nath. Nath was very knowledgeable and has a great understanding in the field. I then transitioned to K9 Ed School nearly 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. My dachshund LOVES attending walkys. You also get photos, video clips and a little summary on how the training went for the day. I recommend walkys 100% and wish my Dachshund attended as a puppy.

After trying 2 other training people that made my whole family anxious and our dog Brooke having bad behaviour. Nathan and the trainers have been amazing with Brooke. We had to undo behaviour tips we were taught. Being a high energy dog, Brooke is now calm, has door manners, rides well in the car, crate trained, no little mistakes in the house, she walks great on the lead and she plays calmly with other dogs. . They have not only helped us and Brooke, they guided us when we were unsure. It is beyond a miracle. We were not going to give up, but very frustrated when we went Walkies. A dog is for life. Walkies is highly recommend. They will work with you to meet your goal to bring the best out of your furbaby, so you can have a happy family and enjoy your time with your furbaby.

Maggie is a typical 14 month old shepherd, full of energy, excitement and obsessed with anything that moves. Since taking her to Walkys Shellharbour, the training she receives has improved her behaviour immeasurably. She is much calmer and a better walker on the lead. Family in Sydney who only see her occasionally have all commented on how she is listening so much better. It’s all thanks to Tammy and the team at Walkys.

My 2 year old Aussie Bulldog Maggie has been going weekly to Walkys for a year. It’s Her favourite day of the week and if she doesn’t go we have a very dysregulated needy dog for the week. Her social skills with other dogs are amazing and I feel confident in managing her behaviour. We love Walkys.

Walkies puppy training goes beyond a few basic commands. They do an incredible job at laying a great foundation for a well rounded trained doggo, and spend enough time with each pup individually to cover their individual training needs while also answering all our questions. Highly recommended!

We were having a few issues with our gorgeous boy Bill so we decided to book him in to daycare to get some help with this. He absolutely loves it, has the best day and doesn’t even make it out of the street when I pick him up before he is asleep. All the staff have been incredible and so helpful with any help I need or questions I have. Thanks so much Walkys, we are very happy customers

Walkys has been amazing for our puppy. The girls there, especially Talisha, treat him so beautifully, and he has learnt so much whilst being there each week.

All the team at Walkys Unanderra are so great! They have turned our dog into the best walker, and she is now walking with no troubles next to the pram. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

In the year that our border collie Frankie has been attending Walkys he has come leaps and bounds. From being very reactive to motor bikes and scooters to now being able to walk past one with little to no reaction. We are extremely thankful to the team at walkys and all they have taught not only Frankie but us aswell. You couldn’t find better trainers than them !

We love Walkys. Bear enjoys his day learning and socialising with the other dogs. I love seeing the videos and photos throughout the day. We enjoy walking Bear now, as the staff have given us the tools for a calmer and obedient puppy. I would highly recommend!

Amazing! Walkys at Unanderra have been absolutely amazing. Our dog, Willow has attended the K9-ED only a few times now but we have already seen such a huge difference in her behaviour. Especially when walking. Bre, the store manager is always so helpful as are the other staff. I love the updates through the day and the messages with advice and training tips for us to work with at home. Highly recommend!!

Couldn’t recommend walkys highly enough. Our Kelpie started his training as a pup with Liv & now goes to K9 Ed once a week. The team have been nothing but amazing in helping us work with his high energy & he can’t wait to go every week.

Paxton has been going to Walkys at Unanderra since puppy school. All staff there are fantastic with him. K9 is highly recommended and Paxton can’t wait to get there to see staff and other 4 legged friends. Paxton is turning out to be a fantastic trained and well behaved little labradoodle. I wouldn’t of been able to teach him the skills without the help of the friendly, experienced staff at Walkys.

Darcie has been going to walkys for a year now and they have helped us navigate puppyhood and how to have the best relationship possible. Darcie has thrived at Walkys and we both love our day there each week.
We often get comments on how well behaved she is and that is a big credit to the advice and guidance and training walkys provided to both of us.
We love how they adapt the training to each pup and their needs (and the parents!) as well as working on the basics!

I couldn’t love Walky’s anymore if I tried. Our 3 year old staffy Pumba has been going to daycare for a few months now, and we have definitely noticed a huge change in his focus and behaviour ! Instead of feeling anxious to take him places we look forward to spending time out and about with him ! The trainers are all extremely professional, kind and supportive ! I appreciate all the hard work they put into training Pum and look forward to seeing photos of him having the time of his life every Monday ☺️

Where do I start????
We have a 16 month GSD Bundy and the work and training from Nath and Jordan have been amazing, they are so incredible with their training skills and methods with our super hyperactive and reactive boy. Bundy goes to daycare and always comes home tired.
All the staff are very friendly and always willing to help. 😊

THE BEST DOG TRAINERS 😃
We came across Walkys on Facebook and I am so glad we did. They have gone above and beyond with our dog rocky, we can now walk him without him pulling us the whole way and he is getting even better with other dogs. They honestly are the best I’ve come across and I am so happy… definitely recommend
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'The trainers are super friendly and helpful and happy to have a chat during drop off. They are so understanding and accommodating to our dog's circumstances and I know she's in amazing hands while there. My colleagues all wait in anticipation for the video and photo updates!! It's great to see what she's been doing during the day and she comes home so wrecked that she puts herself to bed after dinner!'
