Looking for a dog trainer near you in Melbourne's west? Based in Deer Park, I provide mobile in-home dog training services across the western suburbs.

Training in your own home helps your dog learn faster and builds better long-term habits.
As a local dog trainer in Deer Park, I work with all breeds and ages – from 8-week-old puppies just starting out, to adult dogs needing behavioural support. Whether you're searching for a dog trainer in Sunshine, Footscray, or anywhere in Melbourne's west, my approach is balanced and tailored to each dog's individual temperament and your family's lifestyle.

Why Choose Mero Dog Training?
I've been training dogs professionally for years, working with everything from anxious rescue dogs to high-drive sporting dogs. I'm qualified with a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training, and I compete in IGP sport myself, so I understand what it takes to get results.
But here's the thing – I don't believe in one-size-fits-all training. What works for a calm family Labrador won't work for a reactive Cattle Dog. I'll assess your dog's specific needs and create a plan that actually fits your life, not some cookie-cutter programme.
Training happens at your place, on your schedule. No stressful trips to unfamiliar locations. Just practical, real-world training that sticks.
Belgian Malinois Specialist
As a Belgian Malinois breeder and trainer, I have extensive experience working with this intelligent and driven breed. Whether you've got a Malinois puppy that needs early socialisation and foundation training, or an adult Malinois requiring advanced obedience or sport training, I understand the unique needs of this breed.
Malinois are exceptional dogs, but they're not for everyone. They need proper outlets for their drive, structured training, and an owner who understands their temperament. I can help you raise a well-balanced Malinois that's both a reliable companion and a high-performing working dog.
I compete in IGP sport and work with IGP-titled dogs, so if you're interested in sport dog training for your Malinois, I can guide you through the journey from foundation work to competition readiness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Mero Dog Training located and what areas do you service?
I'm based in Deer Park, Melbourne, and provide mobile in-home dog training throughout the western suburbs. I regularly service Footscray, Sunshine, Werribee, Altona, Caroline Springs, Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Tarneit, Melton, St Albans, and surrounding areas. All training is conducted in your home – I come to you, so there's no need to travel to unfamiliar locations.
Why do you offer in-home dog training instead of group classes?
In-home training is more effective because your dog learns in their actual environment where they need to behave. We work on real-world situations like door manners, walking on your street, and settling in your home. This approach builds better long-term habits and eliminates the stress of travelling to unfamiliar locations for training.
What types of dog training do you offer?
I offer puppy school and training, obedience training, reactivity training, behaviour modification, 1:1 coaching, and sport dog training. I also specialise in Belgian Malinois training. All programmes are tailored to your dog's individual needs and your lifestyle.
Do you offer puppy school or puppy training?
Yes! Puppy training is one of my specialties. I provide in-home puppy school programs covering socialisation, basic obedience, toilet training, and preventing common behaviour problems. Starting early with proper training sets your puppy up for success as they grow.
Do you train Belgian Malinois or working breeds?
Absolutely. I'm a Belgian Malinois breeder and specialist trainer. I compete in working dog sports and have extensive experience with high-drive working breeds. Whether you need foundation puppy training for your Malinois or advanced sport dog training, I've got you covered.
How much does dog training cost?
I offer an initial consultation to discuss your dog's needs. Training packages vary depending on your requirements. Contact me for a personalised quote based on your specific situation.
