Hello! I’m Robin, the proud owner of a small, owner-operated dog training business based in the northeastern suburbs of Adelaide. I offer personalized, in-home training services across all suburbs and even some country areas—I come directly to you. My passion lies in helping both people and their pets learn new behaviours and obedience skills through positive reinforcement techniques. I’m committed to using science-based, effective, and enjoyable methods that make training a rewarding experience for both you and your dog.
My journey into dog training began at the age of 12 when I took it upon myself to train our family dog, as none of the adults were able to take her to obedience classes. This early experience, along with rescuing a horse with severe behavioural issues due to mistreatment, fuelled my passion for animal behaviour and training. This passion eventually led me to establish Denali Dog Training, where I now help others prevent and resolve pet behaviour issues using kind, science-based techniques.
I hold nationally accredited professional training through the National Dog Trainers Federation of Australia, the only nationally recognized certification for dog trainers. This is the same course used to train Lions Hearing Dogs’ trainers. I’m qualified to teach behavior modification, obedience, assistance skills, and substance detection. My ongoing education includes further study with international trainers and other resources. With over 30 years of experience in training dogs and horses using positive methods, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every training session.
With over 100 5-star reviews on Google, Facebook, Oneflare, and Word of Mouth, you can trust that your pet’s training is in expert hands. Contact me today to discuss your training needs and start your journey toward a better-behaved pet.
