Training & enrichment In-home session

Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm
Available within 4km of Richmond only

A combination of training & enrichment in the one visit- to exercise your dogs mind, skills & natural instincts. This is a healthy outlet for young/adolescent-mature dogs as it’s highly mentally enriching & physically tiring, which assists in shaping a happy, satisfied & well trained pup!
We involve a mix of bursts in engagement play & training, rotating between both so it’s kept fun/entertaining throughout. 
The training aspect can be a focus on what the owner thinks their dog needs guidance with, or be a general training session involving basic training skills to begin with, increasing the difficulty as they progress.

• For ages 8 weeks & up - all breeds accepted.

• Sessions are 30, 45 or 60 minutes long. 

• I work with dogs individually or with another dog, within the same household.

• Can be provided as a routined booking or on a casual basis.

• I can assist with- reactivity training, puppy socialisation, loose lead walking, solid recall training, thresholds/boundary training, confidence building & basic command/trick training.

• Photos/videos & a report/update will be sent to keep you informed of your dog’s progress & so you’re able to practise the same with them at home.

Solo Dog walking

Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm
Available within 4km of Richmond

- Dogs are pack animals and require engagement/activity throughout their day for optimal wellbeing and life longevity. Some breeds have higher energy requirements than others, although all do need a healthy outlet- whatever their preference may be! I form strong & secure connections with all of the dogs in my care and become completely in-tune with their needs with regular walking.

• Included in solo dog walks: I offer 30, 45, 60 or 90 minute walks depending on your dogs requirements and will go to a local (but different) location each walk (Parks, Beach or Bush)

• For ages 8 weeks & up - all breeds accepted.

• This service is personalised to your individual dog or 2-3 dogs from the same household.

• Ideal for reactive/anxious pups that prefer one on one interaction.

• Health & behaviour monitored.

• Basic lifestyle training reinforced.

• Travel - pick up/drop off included (+ filling water bowl).

• Engagement games & routined walks.

• Given your dog is socialised well and has good recall - I can allow off-leash time in a safe area.

• I provide doggy water bottles, toys, balls, leads, doggy bags & treats (for those without allergies).

• My large, air conditioned car has a front seat barrier, a doggy hammock, safety seatbelts & is regularly cleaned/disinfected.

• Updates & photos sent of what your pooch gets up to.

In-home enrichment/feeding visits (dogs, cats & rabbits)

Monday-Sunday 7:00am-6:00pm
Available within 4km of Richmond

-In Catteries, cats are confined to a small space with other strange cats around them which can trigger stress. From experience, I know how common it is that cats often develop health issues when in a cattery due to stress. However in their familiar home environment, they are comfortable, have their freedom and usual routine.
-Dog daycares can also be too overstimulating for some dogs as they are confined to a small play area with many other dogs/personalities, so it can be exhausting + too overwhelming for some dogs (especially the anxious/timid babies).

• My enrichment/feeding visits are the perfect alternative as they are tailored to your pets needs & preferences whilst remaining in the familiar environment of their home.

• For all ages & breeds of dogs, cats & rabbits.

• Included in visits: Usual diet fed, medication administration, love & attention/cuddles/belly rubs provided, grooming/brushing, environmental enrichment play, training commands reinforced, mind/scent games, litter trays replaced/spot cleaned daily, short dog walks, environment tidied, water bowls refreshed.

• Health & behaviour monitored by an experienced professional.

• Detailed updates & photos.

• Home maintenance including- collecting mail, watering plants, garbage disposal, reliable home security checks.
