Why work with me?
🐶 Life-Long Dog Lover: Dogs have always been central to my life. My passion for training ignited when our rescue dachshund, Rosie, unexpectedly grew into a kelpie mix, leading me to dive deeper into understanding the whole dog.
🎓 Certified Expertise: I hold a Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training from the National Dog Trainers Federation, Australia’s leading provider for canine trainers.
🎨 Innovative Training Approach: I specialise in games-based training, a fun and positive method that turns training into an enjoyable experience for both dogs and their owners.
💚 Holistic Dog Care: My qualifications extend beyond training. I’m a certified Raw Dog Food Nutrition Specialist with additional studies in canine allergies, aromatherapy for pets, and stress management in animal well-being. I focus on the whole dog, from behaviour to diet and wellness.
🙌🏻 Hands-On Experience: With a background in running a herding breed rescue, I’ve fostered and rehomed over 100 dogs. I currently care for 6 rescues, each with unique challenges, giving me extensive, practical experience.
🐾 Passionate About Anxious Dogs: I have a particular passion for helping anxious and fearful dogs, using a holistic approach to address their needs and create a balanced, harmonious life.
👩🏻🏫 Guidance and Support: I’m excited to share my knowledge and passion with you, guiding you and your dog toward a stronger, more joyful bond, and ensuring their well-being is always a priority.
What you can expect ...
I understand how overwhelming it can be when your dog doesn’t listen, acts out, or struggles to fit into your family. That’s why I focus on YOU—giving you the skills to transform your dog’s behaviour and build a lifelong bond.
Here’s what you can expect:
🙌🏻 Confidence as Your Dog’s Trainer: You will understand and be able to implement simple, proven strategies to address your dog’s behaviour at its root. You’ll feel empowered to manage any challenges that arise, knowing you are the best trainer for your dog.
🐾 A Calmer, Happier Dog: You will see your dog transform into a more confident, well-adjusted companion using simple game-based, positive reinforcement techniques that build trust and understanding.
👵🏼 Tools for a Lifetime: You’ll gain lifelong skills that not only help with your current dog but prepare you to confidently handle the needs of any dog you welcome into your life in the future.
👥 Support Every Step of the Way: Following your consultation, you’ll receive free access to a private, client-only Facebook group for 30 days. This exclusive space provides ongoing support with monthly Q&A sessions, masterclasses, new and updated resources, printable games with demos, product reviews, and more! After the free access period, you’ll have the option to subscribe and continue enjoying these incredible benefits.
🏡 A Harmonious Home: You’ll create a balanced, happy home where your dog fits seamlessly into your family life, replacing frustration with peace and connection.

What’s the difference between in-home and online sessions?In-Home Consultations: These take place in your home (within 30 minutes of The Oaks, NSW) and allow me to work with your dog in their natural environment. This is ideal for personalised guidance and setting your dog up for success from the start. Online Consultations: These sessions are conducted via Zoom and are just as effective, especially for owners needing flexibility. We’ll cover the same topics, and your dog remains comfortable in their own environment. Learn more about online consultations here.
-
Are you a certified dog trainer with experience?Yes! I hold multiple certifications in dog behaviour, training, and well-being, including the NDTF Certificate III in Dog Behaviour and Training—the only government-accredited course for canine trainers in Australia. My unique approach combines professional expertise with practical, games-based training to create real-world results for dogs and their owners. Why choose me? I also have advanced knowledge in dog nutrition, stress management, and natural therapies, giving me a holistic perspective to help dogs thrive.

What happens during a dog training consultation?The most stressful place to be is not knowing what to do. My goal is to give you a clear, actionable plan tailored to your lifestyle, focusing on what will make the biggest difference for you and your dog. Together, we’ll troubleshoot and create a roadmap for success. Here’s what you’ll get during a 2–3 hour consultation: In-Depth Behaviour Assessment: A comprehensive analysis of your dog’s unique needs and challenges. Calmness and Management Plan: Practical steps to help your dog feel secure and balanced. Understanding Dog Behaviour: Learn how your dog’s brain works and how to interpret their subtle communication signals.

Ongoing Support: Includes a follow-up phone call if needed, plus email support for any bumps along the way. This consultation is designed to set you and your dog up for success, whether online or in person. Let’s create a harmonious life for you and your dog!

How is the Phone Chat different from the Training Consultation?The Phone Chat is a quick chat where we’ll get to know you and your dog, discuss any problem behaviours, and explore how our training can help you achieve your goals. It’s a great starting point if you’re unsure where to begin. The Training Consultation is a full session where we dive straight into personalised training for your dog, providing tailored advice and a structured plan to tackle behaviour issues right away.

How much does a dog training session cost?The cost of a training session is $297 for an in-home consultation and $197 for a remote/Zoom consultation. These sessions provide high-quality, comprehensive training tailored to your dog's specific needs. The skills and knowledge you gain during these consultations are lifelong and can be applied to any dog you own now or in the future. Our goal is to ensure you and your dog live in harmony, equipped with the tools to manage behavior effectively.

Is virtual dog training as effective as in-home training?Absolutely! Virtual dog training can be just as effective as in-home training and even offers some unique benefits: 👨👨👦👦 Family Involvement: Record the session to share with family members who can’t attend or review it later for reinforcement and consistency. 😃 Owner-Focused Training: My approach empowers you to understand and support your dog better. In many cases, direct dog interaction isn’t necessary, making virtual sessions equally impactful. 🏠 Personalised Home Assessment: Even virtually, I can assess your home setup and provide tailored suggestions to support your dog’s behaviour. 🐶 Comfortable Environment: Your dog stays in their familiar space, reducing stress and distractions—especially helpful for anxious or fearful dogs. Virtual consultations are designed to work seamlessly with your lifestyle while still providing the same personalised, actionable guidance as in-home training. Let’s work together to create calm and connection, no matter where you are!

Can dogs of all ages benefit from training?Absolutely! Dogs of all ages can benefit from training, whether they’re young puppies, energetic adolescents, or wise seniors. My personalised approach ensures that the training is tailored to your dog’s stage of life, personality, and unique needs. Puppies: Start your puppy off on the right paw with foundational skills and confidence-building games that prevent problem behaviours from developing. Adolescents: Channel that youthful energy into positive behaviours, setting boundaries and building their focus during this critical development stage. Seniors: Even older dogs can learn new tricks! Training helps keep their minds active, improves their quality of life, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. This training is also perfect for multi-dog households at no extra charge—even when welcoming a new puppy into the pack. No matter the age or situation, there’s always something we can do to help your dog thrive.
