About me
I finally got into Dog Training properly after 6 years of walking dogs all day 5 days a week. It was something that I had always been interested in but never took the leap for some reason. I like to think I have a natural affinity with dogs that has only been developed over the years & countless hours I've spent with them. As soon as I took the plunge and started a course I immediately knew it was something I would love.
My aim is always to help people with their dogs to make their lives & relationship a lot better. After all, we get dogs thinking they will be perfect and we will live a lovely happy life together and go frolic in a field. Sometimes however, the dogs have other ideas.. that's when things can go a bit awry and you may need a bit guidance to get back on track.

puppy training - $ 300 for 3 sessions
My favourite! In these classes we will set a solid foundation for your pups behaviour & I will give you a whole heap of information on how to start out on the front foot with training from a young age as well as lots of tips & tricks to make life way easier. Some topics we'll cover are:
- Sit & stay
- Leash familiarity
- Boredom based destruction
- Recall
- Toilet training
- Teething & how to deal with chewing furniture (and your hands!)
- Stopping bad behaviours early like jumping up & resource guarding
The first session will be at your place so we have minimum distractions to work with. As with all training I do, I will send you a report after the session to recap what we have done and what the current training plan is. I'll also happily give you ongoing support through calls/email/messages between sessions and encourage you to keep in touch even after we have finished sessions.

Initial consultation - $150 for 90 mins session
Typically I will come over to your place or to a quiet park to discuss the problems you have had before moving into a few drills and hopefully seeing and diagnosing the issues first hand. I'll make up a training plan and then start to teach you how to deal with these issues and give you some 'homework' to get through before our next session.

obedience training - $120 for 60 mins session or $300 for 3 sessions
Probably the most important training you will ever do with your dog. By this point you should be seeing a difference in your dogs behaviour after we went over the training drills in the Initial Consultation. In this session I will see what progress has been made and make any adjustments to your training plan depending on the results. Ideally you will be moving on to more advanced training drills and we will be coasting to a better behaved pooch. The typical issues I see are:
- Jumping up
- Poor recall
- Leash reactivity
- Pulling on leash
- Barking
- Chewing
- Begging
- Resource guarding

adolescent training - $300 for 3 x 60 mins sessions
Similar to people, dogs can also go through a "bratty teenage" stage where they love nothing more than rebelling & testing boundaries. If this is the case with your pup then these sessions are probably ideal. Typically at this stage you think you have a well trained dog then one day it seems to take a big step back (the joys of hormones). We can have a chat & pin point what we need to work on before diving into it.

walk & train - $80 for 60 mins
In these walks I will take your dog out for an hour and work 1 to 1 with them before giving you a run down afterwards of how everything went & any videos I took from the session. These sessions are especially good if you are very busy or work long hours but also need your dog to get exercised and trained.
The kind of issues that I can work on in these walks are things like loose leash walking, recall, jumping up and teaching your dog to just relax in certain environments if they tend to get riled up easily.
