Welcome to Dale For Dogs
👋 Welcome to Dale For Dogs
Hi, I’m Dale Baker — professional dog trainer, behaviourist, and founder of Dale For Dogs. With nearly a decade of hands-on experience and over 4,000 dogs trained, I’m proud to support the Melbourne dog community with proven, practical, and compassionate training methods.
Founded in 2021, Dale For Dogs is the result of years of dedication, learning, and collaboration with some of the best minds in the industry. My training style blends the most effective, easy-to-apply techniques to deliver real, lasting results — no gimmicks, just clear communication between you and your dog.
While I work with dogs of all breeds and ages, I specialise in the crucial stages of puppyhood and adolescence. Whether it’s basic obedience, socialisation, or behaviour modification, I’ve seen it all — and I know how to help.
Clients often tell me they’re amazed at how simple and straightforward the process becomes with the right guidance. I go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported, informed, and confident every step of the way.
My passion lies in helping dog owners build a strong foundation for a happy, well-balanced life with their furry companions — because a well-trained dog isn’t just easier to live with; they’re happier, safer, and more connected to you.

Cookie - Wantirna South
Cookie was a 10 week Poochon peeing all over her new home. A more efficient toilet setup is now in place, as well as a safe daytime space. First walk ✅ and biting sorted 👍🥇

Maika - Kealba
Maika the 9 week Westie was a typical Westie, not afraid of nothing! 😎 We got him walking on the lead in the backyard, sorted out a suitable area for his alone time and showed his owners how to curve the undesirables 😝 fun lesson! 🐾

Bao & Boogie - South Melbourne
Bao and Boogie Labradoodle mixes in No longer jumping on guests, barking at dogs and random sounds in and around their home. Ahhh, silence is golden! 🔊 😇 🐾

Goose - Rowville
Goose is an 11 week Golden ruling the roost. Owners were relived to hear they can put him outside in the backyard throughout the day. Toilet training will speed up and independence is assured! A fun lesson with a cheeky boy! 😊

Indy - Deer Park
Indy was a 10 week old Golden Retriever. She had been ruling the roost in this household sadly, but not anymore. Her owners are now armed with knowledge to combat her cheeky ways. Even Frank the Lorikeet is probably relieved! 🦜😛

Benji - Docklands
Benji has moved in with first-time dog owners with a great view! He’s an 8wk old Moodle and is already showing cheeky dominant traits. Making use of their balcony will be critical for toilet training and general alone time. We had a puppy training session and set up their apartment for Benji to thrive.

Kira - Craigieburn
Kira a 6 month Maltese cross who has been stressing her elderly owner out with biting, jumping and barking so much that it’s affecting her sleep. We had a full turnaround of her behaviour and her demeanour and now her owner can enjoy her company battle scar free 😊
