The Serenity team have played an integral part helping me train my Shiba Inu, Tako, to be the calm and obedient dog he currently is.

Serenity's methods are gentle, applicable to real life and focussed on building trust and long term solutions. The team of trainers genuinely love dogs and small classes allow the team to truly to get to know me and Tako. I have been to other training schools but found their methods to be ineffective or merely quick fixes that did not work on my wilful, independent dog.

We have been attending group classes regularly for about 10 months and I continue to be surprised and delighted with Tako's progress and abilities. Activities such as nail clipping that used to be a dreaded nightmare with Tako screaming and writhing in my arms is now a breeze and takes next to no time. I can confidently take Tako anywhere such as cafes, friend's homes, outdoor markets and hiking trails.

I always look forward to spend Saturday mornings with Tako and the Serenity team. I cannot recommend them enough! If you are unsure like I was at the start, give them a call and/or attend a Saturday session and let the Serenity team show you how it's done.

I'm so glad I found Serenity, who I think are one of the best trainers in Melbourne. Many thanks to the team for the support and guidance so far, we still have much to work on but I look forward to see how far we can go!

The Serenity crew are fantastic!

I have always wanted the best for my family's Toy Cavoodle, Milly, and Serenity would have to be among the best trainers in Melbourne.

Milly was a birthday gift for my wife and the more important part of that gift was that I give her the best obedience training possible.

I have trained with other trainers previously but, unfortunately, found their techniques a bit incomplete and ineffective, a little pointless and not really applicable to real world scenarios.

The obedience training system that Serenity use is a complete one that I can apply with my pup at home and whenever we're out and about - no matter the situation.

Their high ratio of trainers to dogs is really good which means you'll definitely get some personal attention. I also think their Ashwood location is really suitable for training with a variety of different environments and distractions to challenge you.

Training with Serenity has allowed me to take Milly everywhere easily - local sporting events, cafes, work, shopping centres. People are always delighted with how beautifully behaved she is and ask about her. There's no over-excitement, barking or lunging at other people or dogs.

I have always wanted a highly trained, calm and obedient dog and I am achieving this with Serenity.

Milly and I train every weekend at their Ashwood location and would love to see you there!

We cannot recommend Serenity highly enough.

When we rescued our dog, he was completely unresponsive to us and aggressive towards other dogs. We struggled to even take him out for a walk.

Since engaging Serenity to help us out, we have seen a drastic improvement in our relationship with our dog and his behavior in general.

The trainers from Serenity genuinely love the work that they do and you can tell that they genuinely care about their clients (both human and dog!). If you are looking for great people and knowledgable trainers to help you out with your fur children, look no further!!!

Blackie and I weren’t that close as I adopted him only few months ago. To him, I’m a total stranger.

As his size is almost the same size as me, I decided to train him so my life can be much easier. I found Serenity Canine Academy through a friend and I’m very happy of the method they are using. Voice command is actually very powerful method if you using it right.

After 6 private lessons, Blackie and I are getting closer and he is willing to listen to me and follow my lead. You won’t believe how amazing things can be at least you try it yourself. Thank you Jess and Fransis, well done!

My Molly was not driven by treats and I was tearing out my hair not knowing how to train her.

Serenity turned our lives around and Molly showed her true intelligence just through tone of voice. They have been a God send to us as well as teaching real world behaviors like being able to sit down at a cafe with friends and not worry about your dog acting out.

The pack walks are great for the dogs exploration and behaviour in all sorts of environments with real distractions. I would recommend Serenity to anyone.

The Serenity trainers are amazing.

They have done and continue to do amazing work training our giant wolfhound to be a well mannered boy we can take anywhere and everywhere. We constantly get compliments from strangers on his good behaviour.

Thanks Serenity team!

We loved the puppy school classes so much!!!

We learned so many useful things that we’re currently practising at home and that have helped us so much on our day to day life... thank you so much for the dedication and support.

Leela and I look forward to joining group classes once all this situation is resolved... thanks again!!!

After doing a few lessons of ‘typical’ obedience classes and really not enjoying them because they seemed not very practical.

I decided I wanted to find somewhere that wasn’t food oriented training.

Serenity were the perfect fit, they have provided me with so much guidance and Evie has benefited immensely.
Their method is very effective, gentle and positive-reward based training. Their training is not only for your dog but for you too. My dog now listens to me and I don’t need to constantly feed her treats to do so.

Taking your dog to public places such as, cafes can be daunting if they have a tendency to misbehave. Serenity’s training methods are designed for the ‘real world’ and it works! Evie is a perfect pooch at cafes even one’s on a busy street, she is very relaxed. They offer pack walks to members throughout the year and these are great to enhance the learning and doggy manners!

I definitely recommend Serenity Canine Academy.
