Here at A Bark Above, we guide families from the very first step of a new puppy, to the proudest milestone. Every moment with us is about a dog who feels secure, understood, and ready to thrive alongside you, with a partnership built on trust, respect, and genuine connection.

Our methods are built on two things: science and heart. With nationally recognised education and advanced certifications, we bring the highest standard of knowledge to the coast. We pair that knowledge with compassion, patience, and a deep respect for your dog as an individual. Because to us, training isn’t just about cues, it’s about coaching clarity, confidence, and connection.

We believe dogs learn best when they feel safe, supported, and understood. That’s why our programs are small, personal, and designed with choice and consent at their core. Every session gives you focused attention, practical tools, and a nurturing space where you, and your dog can flourish at your own pace.

With us, you’ll experience more than just a class. You’ll discover a welcoming community, expert guidance tailored to your family, and a unique approach to learning that brings laughter, progress, and plenty of happy tails along the way.

Whether you’re welcoming a fresh puppy or ready to hit goals of the big stuff with your best friend, we’ll be right by your side; guiding, celebrating, and supporting you every step of the way!

With love,
Isabella, Adrian & The Team at A Bark Above xo
