About Me

I'm an Author, Master Dog Trainer, Canine Behaviour Specialist and a Professional Animal Wrangler. I have trained dogs professionally for more than 20 years and multiple animal species for performance work in the film and television industries both in Australia and New Zealand.  

Over the years I've trained many obedience and sled dog champions and human instructors at multiple dog clubs and authored seven books in my Nose to Tail series. My work has led me down many paths including training and support of working guide dogs, assistance dogs and emotional support dogs and helping pet dog owners understand and train their much-loved companions. I love unravelling the mystery of how dog's work for everyday pet owners who often find themselves struggling to manage their free-spirited dogs. 

I have developed an unique holistic approach helping owners form strong trust relationships with their dogs. Coupled with kind reward-based techniques for training, I know their dreams of well-mannered dogs are absolutely achievable.
