Tracey is a qualified and experienced companion animal trainer. You won’t find her teaching heel work, ‘right-about-turns’ or other traditional obedience commands, instead Tracey’s approach focuses on teaching lifestyle behaviours. They include: sitting to greet visitors rather than jumping, walking on a loose lead by your side rather than being pulled down the street, settling on their bed rather than the couch, and coming when called rather than following their nose and bolting down the street. She also works with dogs who have a history of resource guarding, anxiety, aggression, biting and other behavioural challenges. Tracey is a compassionate trainer who believes strongly in advocating for your dog’s physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. She might ‘tell it like it is’ but will do so with a wink and smile 😉 She believes that her role is to help you and your dog to be the best of friends and build a mutually respectful and unbreakable bond.
