About Us
My love for dogs began at a young age, and I decided to turn that passion into a career. Over the last decade, I've worked in various areas of the canine industry, including pet dog care, dog walking, animal shelter work, and veterinary environments.
Now, I am proud to offer the dog owners of Central and Central West Auckland group puppy classes, specialised one-on-one dog walking, and coaching sessions. Each service is tailored to your dog's breed, temperament, and welfare needs using evidence-based, positive reinforcement methods.
