I come to you for all sessions and we train in and around your neighborhood, exactly where you will want to work on problems and have success.

You can start most of our Bootcamp programs from around 4–5 months old, especially if you're looking to kickstart obedience training early and build solid foundations.

The E-Collar Recall Program is available from 6 months and up, as dogs need a bit more maturity and focus for off-leash work.

For behavioural issues like reactivity, aggression, or anxiety, these typically begin to show around 6 months of age or older—so if you're seeing those signs, you're in the right place.

If your dog is under 6 months and you're mostly focused on manners, socialisation, and preventing bad habits, I recommend checking out our Puppy Programs instead—they’re designed specifically for that stage.

Nope—that’s one of the biggest benefits of the Bootcamp program!

For most sessions, I work directly with your dog in and around your home and neighbourhood. You don’t need to be there, as long as I have access to your dog. I take care of the heavy lifting so you don’t have to juggle your schedule to make it work.

However, once a week you’ll need to attend a handover session. That’s where I walk you through everything your dog has learned that week, show you how to maintain the training, and make sure it’s working for you—not just for me.

These sessions are essential because your dog needs to behave well for you, not just for the trainer. If we skip these check-ins, I can’t adjust the plan based on your experience or give you the tools to keep the progress going.

Think of it as a team effort: I train your dog, and I train you to keep it all working.

It really depends on your dog, your goals, and the situation. I’m a balanced trainer, which means I use a mix of positive reinforcement and fair corrections tailored to each dog’s needs. For puppies everything is taught with positive reinforcement and corrections are rarely needed, besides using a leash to redirect them away from something that may be dangerous to them.

Once you fill out the contact form, I’ll review the details about your dog’s behaviour, training goals, and lifestyle. From there, I’ll recommend the best-fit Bootcamp for your situation.
