About our founder

Meet Kat

Despite the name I have always had a soft spot for dogs and a strong passion for animals in general! My passion for dog training grew from being a foster carer for dogs, where I realised the difference that education and training could make in a dog’s life. Fostering over 20 dogs and puppies over the last few years with different personalities and levels of training has also given me an insight into the difficulties that owners can face. 

I began my formal dog training education in 2015 when I commenced a Certificate IV in Companion Animal Management with The Delta Institute. This intensive course allowed me to learn the foundations of dog psychology, learning theory, health management, class management and much more. I am also a member of the Pet Professional Guild Australia and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers Australia Inc., which means I adhere to science-based, force free, positive training methods. 

I am a recommended trainer for mindDog Australia training psychiatric assistance dogs, something that gives me immense pride, fulfilment and happiness. Beyond this I love learning, recently completing my Fear Free Certification, enabling me to call myself a Fear Free Certified® Professional.

I love working with puppies (who doesn’t), rescue dogs, little dogs, big dogs, medium sized dogs and sometimes even cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and chooks.

I love what I do and look forward to continuing to share my passion with you and your furry friends.
