  • I'm Georgia, and I’m passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships through tailored training methods. With experience in animal care, including medical treatment, horse care and training, wildlife rescue, dog fostering and reactive dog training using balanced techniques, I’m dedicated to setting both dogs and owners up for success.

    I'm currently completing my Certificate III in Dog Training and Behaviour with an Assistance Dog Certification elective, as well as my Animal Care Attendant Certificates. Before making the switch to dog training, I worked in hospitality as a bar manager, but animals have always been my true passion.

  • My 1-year-old Border Collie x Kelpie, Jet is in training to become a certified cardiac assistance dog and task-trained service dog. He’s friendly, kind, and loves to learn. He’s challenged me and grown my ability as a trainer so much in the last year that i am now able to follow my true passion. Which is helping dogs and their owners grow their relationship and understand eachother better

  • My 7-year-old Cavoodle, Jaffa was my first dog as an adult. He’s quieter and more refined but both dog- and people-friendly. Both will join training sessions! He’s been by my side since i was 18 and he has been my practice dog. He is the dog i have made mistakes with and learnt so much from and where i was able to grow my confidence, skills and abilities. He’s where it all began.

Proof That A Dog Lives Here

I Can’t, So I Did

  • "What training methods do you use?"

    We used balanced training methods combining positive reinforcement with clear boundary setting

  • "How fast will i see results?"

    Every dog is different and every dog is different every day, it's important to train the dog that's in front of you. consistency is kkey and usually dogs pick up bad habits from their families through human error. I'm trying to get people to learn skills so they can set themselves and their dogs up for success

  • "Can I bring my own treats?"

    Yes! We encourage using treats familiar to your dog, i always recommend using their regular fry food as much as possible in place of one of their daily meals so they don't get an upset tummy from too many rich treats!

  • "How do I know if you're right for me?"

    Every person and dog has different goals and needs, even if you find that I'm not the right fit for you I'd love to provide you some resources and try and help you find someone that suits your needs best. My priority is the health and happiness of you and your dog.

  • "Do you work with reactive or "aggressive" dogs?"

    Yes i do my goal is to build confidence and stability in dog and owner, however it is a case by case assessment as i don’t want to take on a case i don’t have the skills and ability to assist as i’m still learning everyday as well.
