Dog Training for You and Your Dog
Whether you’d like personalised in-home training or prefer to train your dog yourself, I have options to suit you and your dog.
Private training is tailored to your dog’s individual needs, while my downloadable training guides give you instant access to clear, easy step-by-step exercises you can work through at your own pace.
Not sure which option is right for your dog? We’ll help you choose the best place to start.

Trusted by dog owners across Yass Valley, Canberra and surrounding areas for effective training that improves everyday behaviour.
Common Issues We Help With
Pulling on lead, barking, jumping, reactivity, poor recall, stress-related behaviours and difficulty focusing outside the home.
Every dog is different. Whether you’re dealing with unwanted behaviours, poor manners, or simply want a better relationship with your dog, effective training starts by understanding why the behaviour is happening and teaching your dog what you want instead.
I come to you at no extra cost, so we can work on your dog’s behaviour in the places where it happens every day.
