Initial Session (90mins)
If you're unsure that an Initial Session is the right place to start, it's advised to book a Free 15min call
If you want to dive right in, an Initial Session is your starting point. During the initial session, we'll discuss the issues you're having with your dog and I'll perform an assessment to evaluate their behaviour. Based on this evaluation, I will provide tailored recommendations for improvement.
I offer guidance to help you understand your dog's behaviour, along with straightforward training strategies.
The initial session takes place in the comfort of your home
You'll be amazed how one session
can make a big difference!
Tailored Programmes
(1:1 sessions)
Tailored programmes are exactly what they sound like—customised to your goals and your dog's unique learning style. These programmes work whether you're training a puppy, an adolescent, or even a senior dog (because yes, old dogs really can learn new tricks!).
We’ll meet in person every 2 weeks for 75 minutes. I’ll demonstrate techniques using your dog, then pass the leash to you and guide you through each step. At the end of our session, I’ll update your homework book and review what we’ve covered together. After that, you’ll practice on your own until our next meeting—but don’t forget, I am ALWAYS available if you ever need support.
By the end of your tailored programme, you’ll be in love with how your dog is more reliable... and... as a bonus, the relationship between you & your dog would have gone up a notch or two.... or three!!

From Frustration to Fun Programme
Frustration To Fun Programme, saves you money by combining the Initial Session, 4 x 1:1 Program Sessions, 5 x Group Classes that are created carefully, and safely! it comes with a FREE equipment pack 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, gimmicks, or judgement - just clear guidance, honest expectations, and practical strategies that fit your lifestyle.
With only 3 dogs accepted per intake, the focus stays on quality, safety, and meaningful progress. The goal isn't a perfect dog! It's calmer walks, clearer communication and being able to enjoy your dog again!
‘Just Me & Your Dog’
(A mix of me training your dog and 1:1’s)
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.

Therapy Dog Assessment
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
Personalised Chaperone Services
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.
