Tom Heeren has always had dogs in his life and has owned Border Collies and Terriers for the past 30 years. Tom has trained many breeds of dogs in Warrnambool and now on the Mornington Peninsula. Tom's primary interest is helping owners solve behavioural struggles with their dogs.


Tom will design a personalised dog behaviour modification or transformation plan to help build confidence and resilience in your dog. One-on-one sessions will allow you and your dog to learn new skills, consolidate old ones and succeed in a relaxed and less stressful setting than in a multi-dog class. Training begins in your home and then progresses to include more distractions so that you and your dog can feel confident in any situation and have the skills to cope when confronting new challenges.


With two degrees in biological science, a Master's in teaching, and a certified Pro Dog Trainer and Geek from Absolute Dogs, Tom is well-qualified to help you and your dog succeed. 

Naughty but nice dogs

You and your dog are a team, but sometimes the lines of communication are not entirely clear, and your dog exhibits unpleasant or unacceptable behaviours. If not correctly addressed, these behaviours can cause the relationship you have with your dog to break down, making what was once a pleasant experience into one of constant struggles and despair. Some of these problems can include:

  • separation-related behaviours
  • leash pulling/lunging
  • barking at other dogs, animals and people
  • jumping up on people
  • destructive behaviour such as chewing furniture or digging
  • resource guarding, i.e. growling/defending food or possessions from others
  • fear-related behaviours towards strangers or objects such as lawnmowers or vacuum cleaners.


There is hope for you and your dog. Tom can transform your dog's life by using positive, force-free reinforcement techniques, concept games, and a personalised approach based on the latest scientific understandings of canine behaviour.

There is no quick fix or magic command, and in extreme cases, some dogs may require support throughout their lives.


Each dog is an individual, and what may work for one dog may not be the best solution for another. Tom can develop a personal program for you and your dog by understanding your dog's breed, observing its behaviour, and getting to know the owner.

The Absolute Dogs training methodology is centred around the motto 'There's a game for that!' Dogs, like humans, learn and retain information better if the learning experience is meaningful and fun.


The games-based training approach builds concepts in our dogs, including:

  • calmness
  • optimism
  • thinking in arousal
  • focus
  • grit
  • flexibility
  • proximity
  • arousal up/arousal down
  • disengagement


Games-based training reshapes a dog's brain turning struggles into strengths.


As an Absolute Dogs Pro Dog Trainer, I can develop a personalised transformation plan containing concept games for you and your dog.
