For many owners, their dream of a dog enhancing their lives are dashed when their dog’s behaviour becomes a source of stress. If you've ever wished you could take your dog on a relaxing walk or to a café while feeling confident in their behaviour, I can give you hope.
I'm skilled in numerous training approaches including positive reinforcement and balanced methods, and tailor training to each dog and owner. I'll show you how to create more engagement and trust in your dog wherever you take them.
Regardless of breed, or whether your dog is a puppy, a senior or a rescue dog, you can have the connection and relationship you've always wanted.
Dog Sense means understanding how your dog thinks. Using a holistic approach and following the science of how dogs communicate and what motivates them, I will help you get inside your dog's mind and create a stronger connection.
With a background in both canine and human psychology, I'm qualified to teach you how to create a trust-based relationship with your dog. I'm certified by the National Dog Trainers Federation of Australia, the only nationally and government recognized training program in the country for professional canine trainers. I'm knowledgeable in all training methodologies and don't follow a one-size-fits-all approach.
I want to help you build a balanced dog that is part of your family by structuring your relationship the right way. Through my dog training and behaviour modification programs you’ll learn:
You’ll help your dog become calmer, happier and a pleasant addition to your family.
