Service & Therapy Dog Training in Cairns
Assistance Dog Training
Over the last 5 years I have been working with so many wonderful people and their dogs. As a contracted trainer, I work very closely with Liz Jackman – A Dogs Choice Training Services, based in Brisbane. My role is to assist her clients in Cairns with “hands on” training sessions as they navigate the training program. I am able to utilise my group training sessions for exposure, and also offer private sessions in a variety of locations to assist in every aspect of the Service/Assistance course. A well trained service dog can change a life, and I love being able to assist people and their dogs with this training. I also work with clients who are enrolled with other program providers.
Therapy Dogs
I have a beautiful Golden Retriever named Ace who is a certified Therapy Dog. He is currently under contract at the Cairns Hospital Emergency Department. We visit the Ed staff on a monthly basis to provide support, and brighten the day of everyone that enters the room. We have also been working with people in respite care, and have attended Early Education Centre’s presenting Dog Safety programs for many years.
I have a lot of clients coming through my classes that are enrolled with Therapy Dog Programs. I can offer training and exposure in a safe environment for specific components of these courses.
I am registered as a Temperament Assessor of eligible dogs enrolled in Therapy Dogs Australia courses.
