Behaviour & Obedience Consultations Gold Coast
In-Home Behaviour & Obedience Consultations
With over 44 years of experience in dog training and behaviour, I provide private consultations designed to help you and your dog achieve balance, understanding, and clear communication. Each consultation is completely tailored to your specific needs, focusing on both the behaviour of your dog and the vital role you play in shaping it.
Whether you are looking to strengthen core obedience, improve challenging behaviour, or build a more harmonious relationship, I offer practical, effective guidance grounded in decades of real-world experience.
Setting the Right Foundation for Puppies
For new puppy owners, I provide comprehensive support from day one—helping you establish routines, boundaries, and socialisation skills that promote confidence and stability. A well-guided start leads to a well-balanced, well-behaved dog and a much smoother journey ahead.
Behaviour Rehabilitation Specialist
My specialty lies in behaviour rehabilitation for dogs experiencing complex, multi-layered issues. Using a calm, balanced approach, I work to uncover the true underlying causes of a behaviour rather than simply managing or masking the symptoms. The ultimate goal is lasting change—giving you the tools, practical strategies, and deep understanding to confidently maintain progress long after our sessions are complete.
Common Behavioural Issues Addressed
An in-home consultation allows for a thorough assessment of your dog’s behaviour, their relationship with you and your family, and their responses to visitors within their natural home environment. I can assist with a comprehensive range of concerns, including:
- Aggression & Reactivity
- Separation Stress & Anxiety
- Severe Lead Pulling
- Excessive Barking
- Destructive Behaviour
- Jumping Up on People
- Resource Guarding
- Over-Excitement & Hyper-Arousal
- Fear, General Stress, and Anxiety-Related Behaviours
