Dog Training Brisbane – Real Help, In Your Home
Struggling with your dog’s behaviour or dog training?
Pulling on the lead, barking, anxiety, reactivity or simply not listening?
Life is busy — and dealing with your dog on top of everything else can feel overwhelming.
You don’t need more advice.
You need someone to come to you and fix it properly.
At SitDropStay Dog Training Brisbane we work with you in your home, where the behaviour is actually happening — so you see real change fast.
No weekly classes. No endless training exercises.
Just clear, practical guidance and real results from the very first session.
Dimitri is the best in the business! I have a 6 month old staffy cross that is terrified of leads and gets timid and anxious around new people. Thank you for being amazing ★★★★★ K.L

Your Local Brisbane Dog Trainer
SitDropStay Brisbane is led by Dimitri, an experienced dog behaviour specialist known for helping owners create calm, responsive and manageable dogs.
His approach is clear, practical and empowering — coaching you as much as your dog so the results actually last.
Many of our Brisbane clients come to us after trying multiple trainers without success — and are surprised by how quickly things begin to change once they understand what’s really driving their dog’s behaviour.

Let Our Brisbane Dog Trainer, Dimitri, Bring Out The Best In Your Dog
Dimitri’s goal as a dog trainer in Brisbane is to help you raise a dog who is
- Well -behaved and emotionally balanced
- A pleasure to live with at home
- confident and calm out in public
Rather than simply training commands, Dimitri coaches you. This ensures you gain lifelong skills to effectively communicate with your dog and confidently handle real-life situations.
Dogs experience the world differently to humans. Understanding their hierarchy of needs — and how they perceive energy, environment, and relationships — is essential for lasting behavioural change.
When you learn to make subtle but powerful changes to your:
- Relationship with your dog
- Behaviour and energy
- Communicantion and leadership
you naturally shape better behaviour and a calmer experience for both of you.

Another Great Testimonial for Dimitri
I cannot recommend Dimitri more highly enough. We have a nearly 1 year old miniature poodle and we really needed someone to help train us on how best to train her and get the best from our dog. Dimitri did exactly that. He spoke with the whole family, he could see how she was behaving in her environment, and provided us with so many insights into dog behaviour. He gave us the tools and confidence to fix some of the problems we were having with her manners and with patience and consistency, we are seeing amazing results. He’s helped us turn our already awesome dog, into a super dog – thank you Dimitri! – ★★★★★ Nat

Testimonials
We had the pleasure of meeting Dimitri on his recent trip north to the Sunshine Coast. From first meeting Dimitri we were amazed by his calm nature and his ability to really understand our dog. To say we are astounded by the results after just one session is an understatement. We would highly recommend Dimitri to anyone looking for a solid trainer and behaviourist who truly gets results. If you’re sitting on the fence about making a booking with Dimitri, do yourself and your dog a favour and just book the time – you will not be disappointed.- ★★★★★ R Dalton
★★★★★ Kerry Loschiaco – reviewed Sitdropstay Dog training Brisbane
Can’t speak highly enough of the work Dimitri did with our little tormentor.
Dimitri is so calm in his approach and his communication with us on our role in this process was second to none.
If you’re in need of puppy behaviour rejig, then Dimitri is your saviour. – ★★★★★ Reece Starkey
Your Dog’s Behaviour Is Not The Problem
It’s their solution to something they don’t yet feel stable in.
Most people look at their dog’s behaviour and try to correct it.
Barking. Pulling. Jumping. Reactivity. Anxiety.
It’s easy to assume these are the problems that need fixing.
But in reality, these behaviours are your dog’s solution.
A solution to uncertainty.
A solution to stress.
A solution to a lack of clarity or stability in their environment.When a dog doesn’t feel safe, clear, or guided…
they create behaviour to cope with that feeling.Trying to stop the behaviour without addressing what’s underneath it often leads to frustration — for both you and your dog.
That’s why more commands, more treats, or more repetition don’t always create lasting change.
At SitDropStay, we take a different approach.
We look beyond the behaviour and help you understand what your dog is trying to resolve.
Then we guide you in creating the clarity, structure, and stability your dog has been missing.
When that changes… behaviour naturally follows.
Not forced.
Not temporary.But real, lasting change.
You don’t fix behaviour.
You change the conditions that create it.
Helping dog owners across Brisbane create calm, balanced dogs…
