Dog and Puppy Training for Happier Dogs and Humans
As a Delta-Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant my ultimate goal is to help you create a happy and healthy life with your dog. We all love our fury babies, but can experience behavioural bumps in the road.
Do you have…
- A puppy that needs some guidance and basic training such as toilet training?
- An adolescent dog that that has suddenly stopped hearing you?
- A dog that is struggling with specific or complex behaviour concerns?
- A dog that lunges at other dogs when on the lead?
- A dog that barks excessively and is driving your family mad?
I offer comprehensive dog training solutions and support that is tailored to your individual needs.
All our techniques use force free methods and work with your dogs physical, mental and emotional needs.
I specialise in working with YOU, the caregiver who lives and loves your dog whether they have simple behaviour struggles or have human and or canine reactivity, I am here to support you. I have been where you are.
In addition to puppy training, dog behavioural training, and online dog training, we run one of Sydney’s only Reactive dog classes.
REACTIVE DOG TRAINING
Why Work with Me?
I’ve Been in Your Shoes as a Carer of a Reactive Dog
I’ve been the caregiver of a human reactive dog and I know your struggles and fear only too well. I understand how isolating it can be as you make your world smaller and smaller to help keep your dog, and you safe.
I understand the shame, embarrassment, the guilt and the frustration that can come with having a dog that displays reactive behaviour.
As a caregiver and a dog behavioural trainer I’ve learnt some very significant and powerful keys to my success and now I get to share that insight with you.
My first breakthrough was not only to truly understand that my dog was a living, feeling, breathing being but that the expectations that I placed in him, in reality where totally unrealistic, which meant, I consistently set him and myself up to fail.
Once I understood that, and I don’t just mean to give it lip service, I mean to truly and deeply acknowledge my part in the equation everything began to change. Reactive dog training can be truly life changing once you learn that.
THE DOG BEHAVIOURAL TRAINER PROCESS
My Dog and I Became a Cohesive ‘Team’
Becoming a dog behaviourist allowed me to put my ego aside, take a step back and learn to let him ‘answer the questions.’
I had to give him the ability to not be okay and to provide for him the situations that would be okay and where I could learn from him, his exact needs.
If we don’t do this, the only alternative is to be in a constant state of frustration, opposition, what ever word you want to put to it and that only leads down the road of suppressed behaviour – this is the road to worsening behaviour.
Breakthrough number 2 was to understand that everything he did had function, he wasn’t being out and out aggressive for the sake of it, his behaviour had a function and understanding the ‘function’ of his behaviour is the game CHANGER.
Now my journey is to guide and support reactive dog caregivers just like myself to navigate and understand their reactive dog.
My goal as the Dog Behavioural Trainer is to teach you what I know works and ultimately save you time, the heartache of guilt and resentment and money as you travel down your road to loving and caring for a reactive dog.
