"I didn’t qualify for a free support dog and didn’t want to wait. This program let me train my own dog to help with my PTSD and it’s changed my life."

“By being by my side when I withdraw and disappear, My dog has given me the mental fortitude to do the things I would normally shy from and or avoid.”
-Anonymous Client
“Taylor has been amazing in helping Tomas and I on our journey to him becoming a fully qualified Assistance Dog.
She is a fantastic, positive and motivating trainer, and seems to have so many little tricks up her sleeve to help dogs understand what you are asking of them.
I love that she also supplies me with training treats and tools such as leashes etx. Alpha Lykos K9 Training and Behaviour has also been a great advocate for me when I have encountered critical or abusive security guards etx, so I can relax and let them advocate for me.
I cannot recommend more highly”
-Julia and Tomas
"Can Not Recommend Taylor Highly Enough"
“My assistance dog in training, Moon and I spent a week in puppy boot camp with Taylor in Mareeba.
The transformation in just a week has been unreal!!! We did a lot of public access work, group training and reinforcing correct behaviours around the home.
Moon has come such a long way in a short time. He is much more attentive to me and listens under distraction. There has been a shift in his obedience and he has changed for the better in just over a week!!
I cannot recommend Taylor highly enough and can't wait for another puppy bootcamp.”
-Serena and Moon
“Taylor provides my assistant dog in training (Nora) and I with an individualised training program that is effective and has changed the projectory of our training journey to one that is positive and excellent”
-Tahlia and Nora
“This company has been an absolute life saver. I’d been trying for years to buy and train a service dog but didn’t have the resources or expertise to make it happen, which I now have through them.
The first 8 weeks were great, getting to see the pups grow, and while training in the program I felt incredibly supported and able to complete the program.
I definitely feel that when the time comes for us to take the PAT (Public Access Test), we will be ready.
I can’t rate them highly enough"
