PUPPY
CLASSES
"Our family had the pleasure of meeting Mali when we welcomed our 10 week old puppy into our home. We attended Mali's training where we (my husband and I) were taught how to teach our pup to sit, stay, leave things, walk loosely on the lead and how to behave with other people as well as other dogs + much much more. Mali provided us with very valuable tips during the four weeks of puppy school which we then applied and practised daily with our pup and three boys. Mali is extremely knowledgeable and has a natural ability with dogs. She demonstrates love and passion for dogs, which is evident when you listen and watch Mali in action. I would describe Mali’s approach with dogs as calming, caring, fun, loving and professional."

About Me
I help Sydney dog owners solve behaviour problems and build stronger relationships with their dogs using kind, evidence-based training methods. My goal is to help you understand your dog’s behaviour and provide practical, humane solutions that create lasting results.
I’m a certified professional dog trainer and behaviour consultant with more than 20 years of experience working with pet dogs, including many with fear, anxiety, and aggression issues.

Originally from Canada, I moved to Australia in 2005 and founded See Spot Run, which grew to become one of the largest dog walking and training businesses on Sydney's Lower North Shore.
Before working with dogs full-time, I earned a journalism degree from Toronto Metropolitan University and worked as a writer. These days, when I’m not training dogs, you’ll usually find me with my own three dogs: Pickle the Bichon Frise, and Goose and Peanut the Miniature Schnauzers.
“I believe every dog and owner has a unique set of characteristics that can't be met by just single training method. That's why I'm skilled in lots of different training techniques and styles. I'm happy to customise my training sessions according to each dog's temperament as well as the owner's skill level and expectations. It's all about respecting and recognising the joy that a happy, healthy and well behaved dog can bring to any household."

Mali Luty
"We first engaged Mali to help train our young Cavoodle “Snowy”. What sets Mali apart is that she quickly realised that our 10 year old daughter also needed “training" on how to be a dog trainer. Mali worked with patience and empathy with Charlotte, teaching her how to train Snowy, rather than simply training the dog. Snowy is so well behaved we are thinking about getting Mali to teach the kids how to clean their room, do the washing, cook…"

Why Choose Our
Puppy Classes?
My 4-week course for puppies aged 8-16 weeks is popular with new and experienced dog owners. Here’s why my clients choose my classes:
Highly Qualified Instructor
If you’re looking for high quality, reward-based training from an accredited instructor with 20 years of experience and truly cares, my classes are the perfect match for your puppy.
Small Class Sizes
We limit the class to 8 puppies (Mosman) and 6 (Cammeray, Crows Nest and Killara). Your puppy gets the attention it deserves and avoids developing bad habits .
Hour-long Sessions
Young puppies aren’t able to concentrate for long and tire easily. In order to make the class more enjoyable and successful for all human and puppy attendees we keep classes to an hour of productive, informative training.

"Mali’s puppy classes were unlike any other puppy classes. The skills that our puppy Arthur has learnt in the past 4 weeks have been invaluable and have set him up to be a well socialised dog. Thank you, Mali! We will definitely be back for an adolescent class and can’t recommend Mali enough."
