Healing the Human-Animal bond with empathy
Evidence-based, consent-led behaviour support that honours both you and your dog. Let's create lasting change together.
I'm a fear-free animal behaviourist and trainer based in Sydney, who supports dogs experiencing reactivity, anxiety, and stress or pain-driven behavioural challenges. My approach centres welfare, emotional safety, and collaboration, helping families understand the why behind your dog's behaviour and create lasting, humane change.
Meet Rose
At the heart of my work is a simple understanding: behaviour always has a purpose, rooted in underlying emotions and motivations.
Our Approach
My process usually follows these steps...

1. Discovery Call & Triage
Our discovery call helps me understand your situation, your dog’s behaviour, and your goals so I can decide what type of support is most suitable, and whether a behaviourist is the right fit at this stage.

2. Assessment & Plan
I evaluate your dog’s emotional motivations, learning capacity, and, where relevant, the significance of pain or discomfort. We also consider your family’s capacity to implement strategies safely.

3. Environment Management
Before teaching you and your dog any new behaviours, we focus on reducing triggers, preventing unsafe behaviours, and managing risk in daily life.

4. Behaviour Support & Training
Once safety and emotional regulation are addressed, I’ll begin teaching new behaviours and strategies, always tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

5. Ongoing Monitoring
Behaviour support is an iterative process. We’ll track observations, tweak strategies, and ensure progress is sustainable for both you and your dog.
