Dog Training & Behaviour Support Across Perth, Northam & the Wheatbelt
Help for reactivity, aggression, anxiety, puppies and everyday behaviour challenges.
If you’re looking for a Dog Trainer/Behaviourist, I offer calm, personalised support for puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs and everyday behaviour challenges. Every dog deserves to feel protected, understood and supported.
I work with you and your dog in a calm, supportive way that focuses on understanding WHY your dog is behaving a certain way, not just looking at the symptoms. Every dog is different, and your plan will be tailored to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.
How I Help
I work with you and your dog 1‑on‑1 in your home or via Zoom for remote clients. Together we focus on understanding your dog’s needs and creating a plan that feels achievable and supportive. There is no behaviour problem I can’t help you work through.
I don’t use fear or force, and I don’t rely heavily on treats or rewards. My focus is on calm, clear communication and helping your dog feel safe, understood and confident.
