For some dogs, the world feels frightening and unpredictable. With compassionate, tailored behaviour modification programmes, I help you and your dog overcome fears tied to life’s challenges. My empathy-based, science-backed training builds confidence, supporting you both to face the world together.

Working with dog behaviour is more than my job—it’s my deep passion. As a New Zealand dog behaviourist, I’ve helped thousands of dogs across New Zealand and South Africa tackle challenges like anxiety and reactivity. My puppy training courses prevent behavioural struggles early. I prioritise your dog’s emotional well-being, using science-based methods to shape lasting behaviour change.

I approach every case with empathy, understanding the challenges you face with your dog, your family, and your household. My step-by-step programmes use reward-based methods to reinforce desired behaviours, grounded in science. You’ll find no harsh techniques, corrections, or intimidation tactics here—just clear, achievable plans tailored to your individual needs.

My training focuses on setting your dog up for success. Instead of correcting “wrong” behaviours, I teach you to shape new ones. You’ll learn how to manage your environment, reinforce behaviours you want, and address those persistent undesirable behaviours you can’t ignore. 

I also help you understand how the environment affects your dog’s behaviour. Through gradual exposure therapy and counter-conditioning, I help change negative associations into new positive experiences. Whether it’s anxiety, reactivity, or puppy challenges, my methods are effective and create lasting change.
