Personalised dog training

 
 
 

I provide 1-on-1, tailored training to help you prevent or resolve dog behaviour problems. As a qualified behaviour consultant I am committed to ethical, effective, science-based methods. I aim to keep training simple, motivating and fun for you and your dog.

Covid-19 Update: In response to ongoing restrictions, we have adjusted the services we offer. Our preferred method for personalised 1-on-1 training is now via online video consults. Please see below for more information about this service. In certain circumstances we can arrange in-person training in Murrumbeena. These sessions will take place at a pre-arranged outdoor location. More details on this service are also listed below.

Video Consultations

This service is a great way to address behaviour issues in the home, such as: barking, biting, jumping, excitement around visitors, destructive behaviour, separation problems, preparing for baby, managing kids and dogs, managing cats and dogs; and for teaching obedience and independence.

  • During an initial one-hour consult we will uncover the cause of your dog’s problem and devise a training and management plan. We’ll also cover as much key training as we can over the course of the session.

  • If regulations allow, we can swap the video consult for an outdoors, in-person session in Murrumbeena to cover topics such as reactivity, loose-lead walking and recall.

  • Follow up sessions (30mins) will focus on trouble-shooting and refining practical training skills. We can also address new issues if needed.

  • I am available to view footage of your dog’s behaviour between sessions to troubleshoot and provide additional steps to the training plan.

  • I conduct video consults using Zoom. If you’re not sure how to use this service, we can arrange a free phone call where I’ll help you set it up and practice using it before the consult.

  • If we are placed into lockdown, sessions will be cancelled and refunded, or moved to a video consultation.

  • Sessions will take place at a pre-arranged location in Murrumbeena.
