Testimonials
Melanie was booked to train my new boy Jake. Not only did she attend promptly, Melanie was very engaging and had Jake performing basic commands in no tme. He’s now further developing his skills to become a well trained dog. Highly recommend Melanie.
We had a behavioural session with Melanie and our golden retriever, we were really struggling with his stubbornness and bad behaviour. Melanie listened intently to our troubles and gave us heaps of tips, which we were able to implement straight away. Now things have changed dramatically for us and have been so much better. We have been able to gain control over our dog again. Highly recommend Melanie's services!
Melanie was great in adapting to online after we entered covid isolation on day 2 with our new puppy! Her tips and advice gave us clear direction and confidence in the first week of having our mini groodle. Will definitely get her services in person. Thanks for the coaching!! Bailey is doing really well.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met with Mel as my dog was experiencing some aggressive behaviour after being attacked. Mel met us at the park for our session and from start to finish Mel was patient, listened to my concerns and was really gentle and easy to get along with. Mel is extremely knowledgeable and was able to pin point the cause and the remedy almost immediately. I did see a difference in my dog by the end of the session and Mel followed up with clear instructions of next steps and notes. Highly recommend Mel!

He really is like a different dog now she pointed out what we should be doing for and with him. We have fallen in love with him all over again! Thanks Melanie.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melanie is absolutely wonderful. In such a short time we had Bella walking next to us and the halti that Melanie recommended I highly recommend. It’s only 24 hours and Bella is walking so much better. I can see great improvement and am looking forward to seeing her get better and better everyday. Highly recommend Melanie and are looking forward to more training with my Bella.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Melanie is really knowledgeable, calm, patient and reassuring. She immediately picked up on things that were going on with my dog that I didn’t realise at all, and had really practical suggestions that helped me help my dog cope better quickly. We still have a ways to go but thanks to Melanie I feel like I have the right plan to help my dog lead less stress life. Thanks Melanie!!
