Start with the little things.
Toilet training, responding to a name, settling calmly and learning how to live with the family. Those first habits matter.
When to start puppy trainingPositive K9 Training · Melbourne
It starts with
understanding
the dog.
I’ve worked professionally with dogs since 2009. The job is as much about teaching the person holding the lead as it is about teaching the dog.

The things that
make everyday life easier.
A puppy finding its feet. A dog pulling you down the street. Learning to switch off at home. These are the moments training has to work for.
A walk you can both enjoy.
Recall, loose-lead walking and keeping your dog’s attention when there’s something more interesting going on.
On pulling on the leadDoing nothing is a skill, too.
Going to bed, waiting at a doorway, settling while the family gets on with the day. Practical skills that make sharing a home easier.
Listen: teaching a dog to settle“Training is interacting — every single interaction you have with your dog is a training moment.”Chris Loverseed · CEO Today
The person holding the lead
There’s always
more to learn.
My work has included puppy development, behaviour modification, dog sports, assistance dogs and substance detection work. I keep learning through hands-on training and time spent with dogs and their owners.
Helping an owner understand their dog, improve their handling and build consistent habits is a big part of what I do.
