Leading The Hounds

Meet Barney! Barney is a pleasure to have in our classes, he’s gone from needing a lead and halter to almost being an off lead pup inspiring others to be as cool as a cucumber as he now is!

Meet beautiful Yuki! What a pleasure it has been to be a part of your journey from Yuki being unable to go for walks because of her fear and anxiety to being part of our Pet Expo’s has been such an inspiring journey for myself and other members to witness. She is not without her quirks and tippy tappy’s but she has realised that her mum will keep her safe when she feels uncomfortable in a situation.

Met Barry! I have loved being part of Barry’s training journey, he brings character and sass to classes and always gives us a laugh with his strong willed & quirky antics.

Another one of our beautiful members profile. Gorgeous Sainte came into the Eltham Pup class absolutely frightened of the world and everything in it, his mum has worked incredibly hard to help him through his fears and anxieties, to the point he will now approach people for a quick pat and sniff. It has been an absolute joy and privilege to be part of his journey 🐶❤️

I have had the pleasure of working with George since Puppy Classes. He is a beautiful boy that has kept his owners on their toes and me at times.
I am beyond grateful to his owners for trusting in me to help guide him and I have loved watching him progress.
George still has some things to work on but he is doing incredibly well and has dedicated owners helping him become the best dog he can be!

I am incredibly grateful to be part of Ash’s journey, it has not been an easy one and definitely a struggle at times for his owner. He has even challenged me as a trainer at times, trying to figure out the best way to help him progress. I am so grateful that his mum has trusted in me along this journey and process to get her and Ash to where they are at & where they will get! It’s been wild ride at times, but Ash is incredibly lucky to have an owner that has met him at every challenge ❤️🐶

Why I don’t work Sundays!
Nothing is more important to me than family. This is why I don’t have appointments available on Sundays!
Whether is the kids soccer or footy or a walk or adventure, it is our day to spend together as a family and it’s so important to me. Having a well trained dog means they can be apart of the adventures too 🐶❤️
