Dog Training for Albion Park Dog Owners
TRAIN. EXERCISE. PLAY. Walkys is a structured school for dogs (not a free-range daycare). Love, Respect, Loyalty is our motto. Our Shellharbour academy is less than 10 minutes away.
Stoked you're joining the pack
Walkys is an accredited dog training academy with two Illawarra locations: Shellharbour (your nearest) and Wollongong. Five-star Google rated. 100+ reviews from local families.
We're not a free-range daycare. We're a structured school. Every minute your dog spends with us they're learning. Our approach is 95% positive reinforcement with occasional correction when behaviour modification calls for it. The right tool for the dog in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all ideology.
