Workshops and events

Understanding your dog shouldn’t involve 47 conflicting social media hacks and an existential crisis. Your dog isn’t broken, and neither are you. You just need some solid info and support to get back on the same page.

I run events to help you tackle tricky behaviour, and build a calmer, happier life together. Some are online and others are in person across the Macedon Ranges and Goldfields region, including Castlemaine, Daylesford, Glenlyon, Kyneton, Malmsbury, Taradale, Trentham, and Woodend.

Sign up to the Between Species newsletter to be the first to know when new events go live.
