I am here to transform your approach to Behaviour Modification and Dog Training

As a qualified expert Canine Behaviour Specialist and Trainer with over 24 years’ experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of dogs and their guardians.

I am deeply passionate about enriching dog’s lives through the understanding and ethical approach of Force-Free Training and scientifically proven Behaviour Modification.

I have amassed a wealth of experience, knowledge and ability to work with many aspects of Canine Behaviour, this is evident through my accumulation of educational attainments and application through my work.

Paw Power offers a range of services from puppy to adult education and more in-depth Behaviour cases, 1:1 Training and consultancy whether in person or remotely.

“I am committed to supporting my clients, both canine and human”

Training Philosophy

I have passion and a strong belief about the application of managing and modifying behaviour change and training using only Force Free methodology, with an integrated approach of dog centred learning, well-being and human education.

I do not support the use of force, fear or intimidation in any of my training practices. The key focus is on enhancing the bond and fostering open communication with you and your dog. Communication is the essence of life.

Keeping up my knowledge accreditations and continually evolving in the canine behaviour and training world is of paramount importance to me.

Experience and a commitment to continuing education

In an unregulated industry, it’s important for dog owners to know exactly who is assisting them to train their dog and what credentials, experience and knowledge their trainer has.

I am the most experienced trainer and canine behaviour specialist in the Northern Rivers with 24 years of professional experience and knowledge working with dogs and their guardians. 

I take immense pride in my professional work experience, but also my ongoing commitment to continuing my education in the continually evolving canine behaviour, training and education field. I embrace new knowledge, maintain my accreditations and continue to evolve my business by attending conferences, seminars, workshops and educational programs from presenters from all over the world. 

Paw Power has been established as the most valuable resource in dog behaviour, training and management in the Northern Rivers area encompassing Byron Bay, Ocean Shores, Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Lennox and beyond.

I specialise in Canine Separation Anxiety.
