Dog Training and Behaviour in Wellington and Surrounding Areas

Find your calm, confident groove with your dog.

Does your dog’s barking make you want to disappear when the doorbell rings?
Are you gripping the leash for dear life on walks, hoping they don’t pull you over?
Or maybe you’re just tired of feeling judged - or worse, worried about your safety.

And then there’s the other stuff: struggling through vet visits, grooming meltdowns, or everyday anxiety that seems to affect you both.

You love your dog - of course you do! But right now, things feel overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

Here’s the thing: You don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Using kind, science-backed training and behaviour support, I’ll help you untangle the stress and build a plan that works for you and your dog. One that supports their emotional, physical, and behavioural well-being.

Together, we’ll make your dog’s day better.

A whole-dog approach

Every dog is different (and so are their humans). That’s why we take a deep dive into what makes your dog your dog. We’ll look at the big picture - their likes, dislikes, quirks, and routines - to uncover what they need to truly thrive.

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

• Your day-to-day life: How does your routine fit your dog’s needs?
• Their physical health and movement:  From diet to playtime to rest.
• Behavioural patterns: what lights them up, and what challenges they face
• Sleep patterns, stress and exercise: How does it impact their behaviour?
• Interactions with the world: What’s helping - or holding them back?

We don’t just ‘fix’ the surface stuff. We’ll get to the heart of what’s happening, so we can create solutions that actually stick.

Supportive training for lasting change

Once we’ve got the full picture, I’ll craft a plan tailored to you and your dog. Along the way, you’ll:

• Understand your dog better:  Learn what makes them tick and how to meet them where they’re at.
• Build trust and confidence:  Using predictability and choice to create a sense of safety.
• Tackle the tough stuff: From barking and pulling to jumping and beyond.
• Navigate fears gently: With fun, practical ways to handle scary situations.
• Spot health red flags early: Like stiffness or discomfort, before they become bigger issues.
• Deepen your bond: Strengthen your connection in ways that make life easier and more rewarding.

This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about building real, lasting change - for both of you.
