1:1 Personalised Dog Training Programme in and around Melbourne
Helping you to have a dog that’s a joy to live with through positive, bond-building training.
Personalised Training For Your Dog
Are you struggling with your dog’s behaviour in certain contexts, or perhaps in multiple situations? Are you at your wit's end with:
Your dog pulling your arms out of your sockets on walks?
Jumping up on you or visitors?
Mouthing you?
Running the fence line and barking at everyone and everything that passes?
Aggression towards other dogs or people?
Hiding at the other end of the house when you try to clip nails or give medicine?
Not listening to you anywhere but at home?
Disappearing off into the distance when you call their name at the park?
Barking and lunging at anything that moves, like bikes, joggers, cars, and cats?
I understand how frustrating and overwhelming these behaviours can be. Having worked with highly complex behaviours in my own dogs and within shelter and rescue behaviour departments, I have encountered all manner of behaviour concerns. I've supported dogs and their guardians or new adopters in shaping profoundly transformative relationships.
Imagine a future where:
Walks are enjoyable and stress-free.
Your dog greets people politely.
Your dog’s emotional state has improved, reducing aggressive behaviours.
Grooming and medical care are easy and calm.
Your dog listens to you, no matter where you are.
Playtime at the park is fun and safe.
Your dog is a well-mannered companion who enhances your life.
I will help you reach a happy place with your beloved companion, whatever that means to you.
