Rebekah is very knowledgeable and understanding. Her tips to control our puppy educated my husband and I to have confidence with our pup. Highly recommend 👌

I contacted Bek after realising that the first trainer I spoke to was using methods I did not agree with. Bek was amazing with me and my pup (first dog) Louis. She gave me the tools I needed to train him, was not at all forceful and gave me confidence. While I initially contacted Activate Dog Training because of jumping up and eating rocks, Bek was able to address those issues quickly and we moved on to lead walking and training Louis how to be alone. I would highly recommend Bek to anyone who is looking for a personable and highly knowledgable dog trainer.

Rebekah from Activate Dog Training came to our home to work with our new puppy Theo. He loved her from the moment he met her 🙂 After four weeks of 1:1 training, we have seen instant changes from the exercises and tips she gave us. Highly recommend it - the investment was so worth it!

Bek’s training has been invaluable in assisting us with our dog, Bek’s skills and expertise has enabled us to better train our dog and gain confidence in his abilities, without Bek we would’ve never been able to achieve this. I now look forward to our walks and I would highly recommend Bek, for and dog training as training with Bek has made the process of training easier with her professional and happy attitude towards training.

Hi, We adopted a 15 months old Labrador X who was handed in to a Sydney pound as uncontrollable. We were successful with basic training but could not stop her pulling hard on her leash as well as lurching at some other dogs.We called in Bek. She was able to assess our dog Chloe, devised a training plan and was able to teach both Chloe and myself how to rectify these problems. Chloe was soon walking nicely on the leash as well as confidently approaching other dogs in a friendly manner. I would recommend Bek to anyone with dog behaviour problems or just general training. She’s is an expert in her field and brings out the best in your dog.

I needed a dog trainer because our puppy was really naughty and was jumping and pulling at people when we went for walks - even though she had been to puppy preschool. A friend suggested Bek as my friend had a similar issue with her puppy.Bek was super helpful with training (both the puppy and my husband and kids). Daisy no longer pulls on the lead when we walk her and sits nicely to get pets from kids and adults a like.This has really made a difference to how much we are enjoying having a dog.I can't recommend Bek enough . - Thanks Bek
