Compassionate, science-based support for reactive, anxious and fearful dogs and their guardians.
In-person consultations across Naarm/Melbourne and online Australia-wide.
Is your dog reactive on walks, fearful of people or other dogs, easily overstimulated or struggling with everyday situations? You may have tried training but still feel unsure about why things are happening or what to do next.
Behaviour support isn’t about finding a quick fix – it’s about understanding what’s behind the behaviour, working out what your dog needs, and finding practical ways to help them feel safer and navigate daily life with more ease.
I help people understand and support dogs who are struggling with big feelings and emotional dysregulation.
My approach looks beyond the behaviour itself to understand the root cause, what your dog needs to feel safer, and what practical changes will make things more manageable.
Rather than giving you a long list of things to train, we focus on a holistic plan to support your individual dog, grounded in force-free behaviour science, welfare, realistic expectations and strategies you can actually use.
Private coaching sessions provide a personalised training plan for your puppy or dog tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. These sessions build positive behaviours and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
Behaviour consultations are for dogs with complex behaviour issues, such as anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. You will receive guidance and support in implementing safe management strategies and appropriate training techniques to address the root causes.
I provide assessment, training, and support for psychiatric assistance dog teams. My approach is collaborative, neuro-affirming, and tailored to the individual needs of both dog and handler.
