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 purchase tickets.
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, is ideal if you've been saying "my dog is great in the home, but gets distracted outside".... or, "I want to advance, but can't get past basic obedience"
Grabbing this programme saves you money by combining the 1.5-2hr In-Home Initial Session, plus 4 x 75min 1:1 Sessions, and 5 x 45min Group Classes. You also get a FREE equipment bundle to get you 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 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!
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!
