Hi there! I’m AJ.

I’ve been working with dogs since 2021 as a dog trainer and canine behaviourist.

I have two dogs of my own. Toast is my female who is a Bull Herder and Taco, my male, who is a Dutch Herder. Although my dogs are protection sport dogs, I thrive on working with pet dogs to help with behaviour problems, and turning owners’ lives around.

I have completed mentorships under other trainers, and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, as well as having worked extensively with hundreds of dogs in my time as a trainer.

I’m known for my hands on, can-do approach and throw myself into each and every project until the desired results are achieved.

Throughout my life, I have personally owned a huge array of dog breeds, and in particular I’ve owned a lot of large breed dogs. I pride myself on being able to work with and produce results with any breed, big or small. My extensive study and understanding of dogs and behaviour training means that I am confident in working with you on any behaviour you’d like help with.

Most importantly, I take pride in being here to help you achieve real world results.

MISSION

My mission is to transform the relationship between dog and owner through clear communication, proven methods and real world results.

Whether it’s reactivity, aggression, at-home behaviours or obedience, I provide practical, effective training tailored to each dog’s unique needs - creating calm, confident dogs and empowered owners.

LOcation

I’m happy to travel to and work with you in your home or in a location where a problem behaviour exists (such as your local park).

Throughout the course of a training package, I may suggest we meet in different locations to suit your dog’s needs.

For intensive training, your dog will come with me everywhere I go, and be exposed to a variety of environments in order to proof their training.
