From time to time I hold workshops for dog owners, as well as seminars for Dog Professionals.
Details of such events will be updated here with the option to 'Save The Date' or purchase tickets
Join Dr Michelle Rassool as she unpacks the stages of a Puppy's developing brain, how to identify signs of stress, plus more! This will be a seminar FULL of facts - not myths!
Initial Sessions are for owners who are ready to stop Googling, You-Tubing and start making progress.
If you want to dive right in, an Initial Session is your starting point. We'll sit down and discuss the issues you're having with your dog and I'll perform an assessment to evaluate your dogs behaviour. Don't worry - we don't just sit & talk the whole time, I'll do training demos with your dog and explain everything I do and why I do it - You'll also get a chance to have a go.
Based on what I see, I'll suggest a tailored Programme where training is based around progress, relationship, clear communication and LOTS of play
You'll be amazed how one Initial Session can make a big difference!
If you take up a Programme, in the Initial Session, guidance and support begins the moment I leave your home.
Tailored programmes are exactly that, tailored to your stye of learning and your dog's unique quirks. Most programmes start with a minimum of 4 x Sessions where you'll see improved behaviour whether you're training a puppy, an adolescent, a nervous/anxious dog or even a senior dog (Yes, old dogs can learn new tricks!).
We’ll meet in person every fortnight for 75 minutes. I’ll demonstrate techniques with your dog, then pass the leash to you and guide you through each step. At the end of your session, I’ll update your homework book and review what we’ve covered together. After that, you’ll practice on your own until your next session - but don’t forget, I am available if you ever need support.
By the end of your tailored programme, you’ll be in love with your dog all over again and you'll be excited to walk them, not be afraid of what's around the corner, or avoid the busiest street in your neighbourhood.
Frustration To Fun Programme, saves you money by combining the 1.5-2hr In-Home Initial Session, 4 x 75min 1:1 In-Home Sessions, and 5 x 45min Group Classes. You also get a FREE equipment bundle to get your started from day 1!
The ongoing support throughout, is a game changer! It helps you build real skills, confidence, and a better relationship with your dog. There are no quick fixes, or gimmicks, and there is always zero judgement. You'll get honest expectations, and practical strategies that fit your lifestyle so you can achieve a better behaved dog.
Intakes are monitored, to ensure owners receive the focus and the quality service that WonderPaws is famous for. If your goal is calmer walks, clearer communication and being able to enjoy your dog again - stay tuned to Instagram or Facebook - when spots are open, they'll be announced on there!
This programme is like a 'board & train' - Except your dog stays with you... at home!
This programme is ideal for owners who lead busy lives and struggle to find time for the essentials of dog training. I work directly with your dog to accelerate their obedience skills, making things simpler for you. Each session is documented, recorded and added to your personalised online training plan, so you can access it 24/7.
Based on the specifics of the tailored training plan, the programme can run for 4 or more weeks.
During the initial weeks, I visit your home to train your dog for one hour each day, four days a week (Monday to Thursday). On the fifth day (Friday), we’ll have a brief one-on-one session as a ‘handover’ where I show you what I’ve worked on. This helps you practice and maintain progress till I return. You’ll have your personalised online training plan to refer to, and you can reach out to me anytime for support
By the time the programme finishes, both you and your dog will have achieved great results and you'll feel confident moving forward on your own. I'll check in later to ensure everything is progressing smoothly and be on hand to help resolve any remaining challenges.
I'm honoured to be an authorised Temperament Assessor for Therapy Dogs Australia (TDA) to conduct assessments for new, or existing therapy dogs.
This Assessment is conducted in person at a designated location. During the assessment, I evaluate your dog's abilities in various areas, including their response to physical handling and their temperament & behaviour when interacting with new people.
Upon completion of the assessment, I prepare and submit a report to TDA for their final review
Let’s be honest - if your dog could talk, they’d expect an invitation to your special day, or event! 😉The WonderPaws chaperone service helps include your dog safely and smoothly, without turning you, your bridal party, or your guests into full-time dog handlers.
I manage transport, supervision, photo-coordination, and all the little details that keep your dog comfortable, happy, and well looked after, while you get the joy of having your favourite 4 x legged friend involved - without the stress of worrying about walks, toilet breaks, or who’s holding the lead!
Think of me as your dog’s plus-one, with professional experience, plenty of treats.
'Dogs, Explained!' is a Podcast for the everyday Dog Owners who have thought “Why is my dog like this?” or, "Why does my dog do THAT!"
Your hosts, Jools (Me!) & my good friend, Alice unpack all kinds of topics, such as Your Dogs Body Language & How you can 'read' them, and we'll explain why your dog isn't listening, plus more....
We'll talk through behaviours that frustrate, confuse, or overwhelm dog owners, like reactivity, and explain what’s actually going on....
We have a zero judgement policy, because, you don't know, what you don't know!
