Your Experienced Dog Trainer

With over 30 years of hands-on experience in dog training, I am passionate about helping dogs and their owners build strong, positive relationships. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a wide variety of dogs, including 18 years with the New Zealand Police Dog Section, 22 years in Land Search and Rescue Dogs and 4 years in the Aviation Security Explosive Detector Dog Unit.

Now, I am focused on sharing my extensive knowledge to help domestic pet dogs become well-behaved, confident and enjoyable members of your family. My goal is to guide you and your dog through a process of mutual understanding, where your dog can make better choices and learn to thrive in your home.

What I Offer

I bring a wealth of expertise in dog behaviour, puppy development and advanced training techniques such as shaping new behaviours, counter-conditioning undesirable habits, and problem-solving. My approach is rooted in engagement—ensuring a strong, positive bond between you and your dog. I work with integrity, dedication and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for every dog and owner I work with.

Through years of experience in diverse and high-pressure environments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behaviour and know how to tailor the right training method for each individual dog and their unique needs.

Together, we can help your dog become the best version of itself—well-mannered, confident and a true joy to have in your life.
