AUGUST BOOKINGS ARE OPEN 🎉

One month in and I can honestly say moving to Port Macquarie was one of the best decisions I’ve made. 🩷

I’ve loved getting to know the local dog community and meeting so many dogs and their humans.

If we’ve worked together already, thank you for trusting me. If we haven’t yet, I’d love to help you and your dog too.

Whether you’ve got:
🐾 A new puppy and want to start off on the right paw
🐾 A dog who pulls like they’re training for the sled dog team
🐾 A teenager who seems to have forgotten everything they’ve ever learned
🐾 Or you’re simply wanting a calmer, more enjoyable life with your dog

I’m here to help.
My approach is force-free, science-based, and focused on helping both ends of the lead. Because training isn’t just about teaching dogs - it’s about helping their humans feel confident too.

No judgement.
No expecting perfection.

Just practical training, realistic goals, and plenty of support along the way.

If you’ve been thinking about getting help with your dog, this is your sign to reach out. 🩷

Send me a message and let’s chat about how I can help you and your dog thrive together.

Freedom should be earned, not assumed.

Giving your puppy too much access around your home, might be what’s making your puppy journey harder.

If your puppy is toileting inside, destroying shoes, getting under your feet in the kitchen, chasing the cat and other menace behaviours, it could be due to giving them free range of the house.

Puppies do really well with structure and boundaries. It tells them exactly what’s expected.

Plus if you let them loose you can’t really get mad when they chew your favourite shoes 🤷‍♀️

If you’re struggling, some easy ways to create boundaries are using crates/puppy pens, baby gates and the tie up exercise.

What’s something your puppy has gotten into that you kinda wish they hadn’t?

What I would do:

✨ Give my dog the skills & guidance they need

✨ Be patient while they learn at their own pace

✨ Celebrate progress, no matter how small

If you catch yourself in a few of these, don’t stress. We’ve all been there. Which one do you want to ditch first?
