Dog Training for Dapto Dog Owners
TRAIN. EXERCISE. PLAY. Walkys is a structured school for dogs (not a free-range daycare). Love, Respect, Loyalty is our motto. Serving Dapto from our Unanderra academy, 10 minutes up the Princes Highway.
Stoked you're joining the pack
Walkys is an accredited dog training academy with two Illawarra locations: Unanderra and Lake Illawarra. Five-star Google rated. 100+ five-star reviews from families across the Illawarra.
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.
