“ Thanks for your guidance and expertise - you explained and broke down the process to make it easy to understand and practice. And seeing Bodhi respond so swiftly has helped and given me confidence and solidified our bonding. THANK YOU so much!! ”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Nina helped us at a time when I was losing hope that my rescue dog Ellie would ever be a good fit for me. Through kindness, instruction and regular sessions, Ellie has become a much more appropriate dog who feels safe and comfortable in her world. I felt in good hands and was happy to leave Ellie in Nina’s care when we went on an overseas holiday.”

Eileen & Scott with Kelpie-Staffy Rescue Elli
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Nina is a natural at training dogs, she is so gentle and quiet, but determined. We call her the Dog Whisperer.”

“ Nina is a very positive trainer, committed to achieving goals that you outline for your dog. She is insightful and professional with a caring focus on her furry clients.
I have experienced this first hand with her training of my dog, Peps and her training with friends' dogs. ”

Michelle with Labradoodle Peps
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This training doesn’t address the symptoms but the root cause of the problem. Which once established makes so much sense and does require commitment and work from the owner but is so worth it when you start to see the results. Would highly recommend her for her constructive, empathetic and positive approach.”

“Pepper loves Nina. He has responded really well to her training.”

Bruce with Labradoodle Pepper
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Nina was excellent with my dog Indi, through seeing how she behaves with our dog & how much she knows how to interact with dogs it taught me exactly how my behaviour was confusing Indi. I now understand how to interact with Indi to get her to do what I need her to do - & that it is easier than I anticipated. Having these successes with Indi has made me realise it is possible to train dogs & it’s just patience & consistency & being shown the right ways to teach the dog & the owner + surrounding family.
