Training taught to last
Dogs want to be dogs! My job is to help you understand your dog and set realistic, achievable goals that lead to lasting success. Together, we'll build skills through clear communication, trust, and consistency! Making training enjoyable for both you and your dog
Fun
If it feels like a chore, neither of you will stick with it. Sessions are built around play, games and setting ourselves up to succeed. For the dog and the human.
Engaging
Great training starts with a great relationship. We focus on building engagement so your dog chooses to pay attention to you through trust, consistency, and fun. Not because they have to, but because they want to.
Reward-based
Backed by science, kind by design. We reward the behaviour we want to see more of, because dogs repeat what works for them.
What I offer
One-on-one consultations, built around your dog
Every dog is different, so every session is too. We work together — you, me and your dog — on the real-life skills that matter most to your household, with a clear plan to keep practising between sessions.

The human on the other end of the lead
I always knew I wanted to work with dogs. From growing up with family dogs to dreaming of becoming a veterinarian, advocating for dogs has always been something I'm passionate about. Pawtastic Dog Training is everything I've learned and continue to learn, rolled into one promise: training that's kind, clear, and genuinely fun.
