Strong Foundations
Do You Need Help With Your Dog?
I am a Nationally Accredited trainer and canine behaviourist. I have spent my entire life surrounded by dogs and have worked professionally with them for over 35 years. I am passionate about helping owners and their much loved canines. A private consultation with me allows us to break down the problems you are having with your dog.
We will address lifestyle routines in the home environment and introduce guidelines for a more harmonious relationship. These sessions also incorporate on-lead work with some basic training patterns to get you and your dog moving forward together. Based in Cairns, I see dogs from the Tablelands, Port Douglas, Gordonvale and surrounds.

Home Habits
Private Behavioural Consultation
Owning a dog can be challenging and behavioural problems impact the relationship we have with our dogs. Living in our world can be very challenging for dogs. Learning how to help them navigate these issues is life changing. A private consultation will help you understand your dog’s behaviour and give you a wealth of knowledge to take home and implement into your daily routines.

FAQs
Everything You Need To Know
What types of behaviour issues can be addressed in a consultation?
Behaviour consultations can cover problems such as reactivity, aggression, fearfulness, excessive barking, poor recall, separation-related issues, lead pulling, household boundary problems and overexcitement. Consultations look at the dog’s routines, environment and communication patterns to identify what is contributing to the behaviour. A tailored plan is then developed for at-home implementation.
How do behaviour consultations help owners understand their dog better?
Consultations break down why the behaviour is happening, how the dog perceives certain situations and what triggers are influencing their actions. Understanding body language, motivation and stress responses helps owners manage situations more effectively. This insight allows for clearer communication, reduced confusion and more consistent behaviour over time.
Can behaviour issues be fully resolved through training?
Many behaviours can be significantly improved with proper training, consistency and structured management at home. Some issues, especially those shaped by past experiences or genetic predispositions, may require ongoing support rather than complete elimination. Success depends on owner commitment, clarity, repetition and creating predictable routines. With the right guidance, most dogs make meaningful, long-lasting progress.
