About Melissa
My husband and I are dog people : ). We have a high level of experience with timid, dog and human reactivity, over excitement, anxious and high energy bound dogs. Our experience ranges from all sizes, almost all breeds and age ranges from 7 week pups, adolescents, adults to seniors.

Our belief and vision for every dog we can help is to develop positive experiences and behaviours with ourselves and other dogs. The goal to have all the dogs rightfully accepted amongst their own species and always feel safe/stress free through our pack leadership and guidance (see our pics). Being respectful and trustworthy towards humans is very important, which is something we work very hard on as current foster dog carers. Exercise, rules and socialisation along with our calm and assertive approach is what we live by with our dogs, with this we have been able to rehabilitate many foster dogs and get them all into good loving homes.

Regarding Daycare and Stayovers we supervise all play and do plenty of physical pack activities when required (walking, jogs and running for your dogs). We will look to tailor their exercise requirements depending on their natural energy level needs. In turn they will also receive plenty of rest in an air conditioned room with their own area or crate. Proper socialising on how to interact with dogs, people and places is also important and something that we specialise in. If you're looking for somewhere for your dog to meet plenty of other stable dogs in a controlled environment we will help out there with exposure therapy.

Training session info - Booking includes assessments & behavioural modification training plans or 1 on 1 obedience skill sessions. Alternative options can be for medium to high level intensity exercise methods or Socialisation coaching / training sessions with stable dogs.
Foundation of training is from Certificate 3 in Dog behaviour and training with NDTF (National Dog Trainers Federation).

We hope we can help your needs!
