Living with a dog is an ever-evolving journey of learning and growth.
Behaviour change takes time, and consistent, regular, productive practice to fully address training issues, and properly establish the skills your dog needs to thrive! Having an expert (like me!) in your corner, providing skilled, knowledgable help how and when you need it, will make the journey easier, and all your hard work worthwhile.
I’ve designed my in-person services to provide flexible, accessible support to suit you and your dog - monthly memberships for families needing individual and specialized support, and drop-in small group classes for more affordable opportunities to learn and practice life skills, socialisation and resolve reactivity.

Big feelings? No problem! Resolve reactivity in a safe, supportive environment
Reactive Rover
Does your dog struggle in public? Are you exhausted from all that barking and lunging? Do you just want to be able to leave the house without stressing about who you might encounter?
This program will teach you and your dog how to successfully navigate an unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming world with calmness and ease.
You'll learn:
-
How to change your dog's emotional response and behaviour to their triggers
-
Management and emergency techniques
-
Games to build focus and engagement
-
Ways to reduce arousal and stress
Carefully curated social experiences for friendly and not-so-friendly dogs
Socials
It can be difficult finding socialisation and exposure opportunities that aren't fraught with risk and stress!
These sessions are designed to allow the social butterflies and the wallflowers to develop and practice their social skills at their pace and level in a managed environment with knowledgeable supervision and safe, controlled dogs.
Socialisation options:
-
Slightly Socials - for dogs that need space and/or minimal contact, e.g. shy dogs, reactive rehabbers.
-
Super(vised) Socials - for friendly (or overly friendly) dogs that are happy with interactions and close contact
