All dogs are good

Good dogs. Better ways to live together.

For puppies finding their feet, dogs with big instincts and busy brains, and humans who care deeply about the animals in their lives.

Welfare-first dog training, puppy education, workshops and snake safety training across the Macedon Ranges and Goldfields, plus online support.

Bringing together behaviour science, psychology and anthrozoology (the fascinating study of how humans and other animals navigate life together).

Good things for dogs and their people

    Puppies

    New puppy, approximately a million questions? From socialisation and development to biting, barking and the mysterious disappearance of your favourite socks, my puppy classes and private training help you understand the little creature in your care and give them a great start.

    Training and behaviour

    Teenage chaos? A dog with a big engine, an enthusiastic chasing habit or feelings that seem to take over? I help you understand what's driving their behaviour and build practical skills for navigating life together, without trying to change who your dog is.

    Snake safety for dogs

    Living in snake country can be nerve-racking when you share your life with a curious dog. Learn practical, humane snake avoidance skills through Un-Chase!®, a specialist small-group programme taught by one of Victoria's few Licensed Un-Chase!® Trainers.

    Workshops

    Fancy getting out with your dog, learning something genuinely useful and meeting some lovely like-minded humans? Small-group workshops tackle real-world challenges with hands-on practice, fresh ideas and plenty of individual coaching.

    Count us in!

  • "Harriet was immediately helpful, clearly very knowledgeable and passionate and importantly, an excellent communicator. We came away with clear, achievable actions to implement and greater confidence in supporting our dog. Harriet came recommended to us and we would certainly recommend her to others.

The human behind All Dogs Are Good

Hi! I'm Harriet. I'm a certified dog trainer, writer and educator with a background in psychology and educational design, currently completing a Master's in Anthrozoology. Which is a rather long-winded way of saying I'm endlessly curious about why animals (humans included) do what they do.

I love helping dogs and their people make sense of behaviour and find ways forward that work for everyone. That means working collaboratively, not handing over an impossible training plan and wishing you luck. Life is busy, communication between species sometimes gets lost in translation, and the best approach is one that truly fits your life.

Living in regional Victoria, I know our dogs aren't the only animals who call this place home. As a wildlife rescue volunteer, I care deeply about protecting our remarkable native wildlife and helping dogs and humans share these landscapes safely and respectfully.
