Dogwarts – Homeschool of Mischief & Mayhem

Hogwarts wasn’t hiring,
so I teach dogs instead.

Welcome to Dogwarts

Transforming Mischief to Manners since 2017.
I swapped spells for snacks and wands for leads. It’s going well.

Home Consults

Perfect for pups who’ve gone full Dark Wizard, need one-on-one attention, training, or have behaviours that only show up on home turf.

Virtual Consults

Perfect for pups who aren’t nearby. Whether you’re dealing with mischief, mayhem, or mysterious behaviour, we bring the magic to your screen, no broomstick required.

Dogwarts specializes in:

DEFENSE AGAINST THE DOG ARTS

For dogs who seem possessed, guard socks like treasure, or snarls at muggles. We’ll help disarm their triggers and defuse their defensive spells against:

Muggle-directed growls and snaps
Defensive explosions
Inter-dog dueling
Guarding of Resources

ChaRMS for the house-elves

Not all dogs are bold Gryffindogs. Some are more like Dobby, sensitive souls who need help feeling safe in a world full of vanishing humans, shifting spaces, and sounds that strike like surprise spells.

Separation Sorrows
Fear-related behaviours
Over-sensitivity to sound or change
House soiling

EXPECTO PA…TRAINING!

Summon good manners and banish bad habits! Everyday obedience for mischievous mutts that challenge every passing pup to a duel, or pulls like he is going to Dogwarts.

Summoning spells (recall)
Loose-lead walking
Jumping
Destructive behaviours

Ministry of Meowgic

For curious cats and the muggles who love them. The Department of Feline Behaviour & Magical Mischief investigates:

Litterbox legislation violations
Cursed couches (scratching)
Inter-species diplomacy
Stress-induced vanishing spells

You might belong in Gryffindogs,
Where brave good pups reside,
With fearless barks and wagging tails,
They guard with noble pride.

You might belong in Hufflepups,
So loyal, sweet, and true,
They dig with joy, they fetch with heart,
They’ll always stick by you.

Or yet in clever Ravenpaw,
Where minds are sharp and keen,
They solve the trickiest treat puzzles
And keep their squeaky toys pristine.

Or maybe you’re a Slobberin,
With schemes both slick and sly,
They’ll hide the snacks, outsmart the cats,
And charm you with one eye.

What muggles are saying…

Dogwarts changed our lives! We were struggling to train our really stubborn bulldog and Lorraine knew exactly what to do. She’s really an amazing animal lover with great knowledge in the field. I would recommend her for any training that’s needed, young or old, easy or hard…Dogwarts will be able to assist. Thanks Lorraine for everything you have done for us and our fur babies!

We got a little Africanis puppy from Wetnose and when we got her home she was frightened of other people and terrified of other dogs. Dogwarts were incredible! They met with us and assessed her, helped us come up with a plan and patiently worked with her and us. She is a completely different dog now, happy, confident and playful. I highly recommend the Dogwarts team!

Nicky Creux

Lorraine was absolutely incredible in our meeting. She was open and honest, and approached an emotional situation with immense compassion. I would highly recommend her services!

Chelsea Atherstone

What an amazing team. Ruby’s transformation has been spectacular. Ruby is a Boerboel and when she joined she had a bit of problems with socialisation – after six weeks she is completely different. The trainers are so in tune and aware and they make it easy and comfortable for you and your pup to join and catch up. We will continue with obedience training because Ruby loves going to school! Loraine is very experienced and lovely to learn from.

Dogwart’s exact location is enchanted, which prevents muggles from finding it. I can help virtually or serve the Plettenberg Bay area in person.
