Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
We have a very energetic and strong Rottweiler puppy who was difficult to restrain at the door and then safely walk. Jen's first 90 minute session made all the difference, within two days our puppy was waiting patiently at the door and the gate and was walking calmly next to us. Jen taught us so many useful things and our puppy loved the sessions.
As a first time dog owner, Jen has given me confidence and helped me understand and respond appropriately to my Schnoodle, Pablo, since he was a puppy. She has a magic way with him and a positive and affirming approach to the training and managing his behaviour. Jen is experienced and knowledgeable, flexible and supportive. She is a pleasure to work with and I always enjoy our sessions. I would highly recommend her.
We are so pleased we contacted Jen. She helped us prepare for our new puppy before he arrived and put our minds at ease in knowing what to expect and how to set everything up. We felt confident knowing what to do once our puppy arrived and Jen helped prepare us in setting Otis up with some good habits straight away. Once Otis settled in, Jen visited us and showed us some fun training exercises that the whole family love doing. Best decision we made.

We aim to make the process as straight forward as possible by providing you with the tools and strategies you need in order to address your specific training goals or concerns. While every dog is different, there are many factors that will contribute to how your dog progresses; the nature and severity of the behavioural issues that need to be addressed, prior learning experiences, environmental factors, genetics & health etc. The level of commitment and effort people are able and willing to put into the training has a significant impact on how quickly dogs advance towards their training goals. While your dog might learn a new skill pretty quickly, often the speed at which your dog progresses can depend on how much you're willing to practice and how consistent you're being. We provide coaching and support and work with people who want to develop a collaborative relationship with their dog.
Not all dogs are highly motivated by food and that's totally fine, perhaps it's a game of tug or fetch, or playing with a toy/praise. We can help you to work with whatever your dog finds most motivating and rewarding.
Dogs can learn at any age! While it's best to start training with your new pup the day they arrive home, the sooner you begin the better. Whether you’re bringing home an older dog from a shelter, or an 8-week-old puppy, we find that all dogs generally love learning new skills.
We assess and identify the behaviours that need to be addressed. We develop a tailored plan based on your dog's specific training needs, breed and environment. We teach you and your dog a range of skills and fun exercises that can easily be incorporated into your routine and lifestyle that help address the issues. We work collaboratively with you and your dog, providing one of one coaching and support as well as provide training materials to support your learning so that you feel confident to lead your dog with confidence.
