Having had a passion for all things animals, especially dogs, from a very young age I pursued a career in the dog industry. After studying a Certificate III in Companion Animal Services, in 2022 I set out to find work in the field of dog daycare.  This lead me to working in both indoor and outdoor dog daycare, using force free methods to manage groups of dogs as they played and interacted. Thanks to 12 months of dog daycare experience I was able to study and successfully complete the Dog Trainer Professionals course through Karen Pryor Academy. Gaining certification Internationally as a force free trainer. 

The beautiful little dog pictured to the right here, is Chloe, my Australian Cattle Dog cross Corgi. Chloe was my training partner throughout the entirety of the Dog Trainer Professionals course and is the inspiration behind Tails Will Wag Dog Training. After becoming a certified trainer I decided to dedicate my training business to the dog that made it all possible. Chloe tackled every training activity during the course with intelligence, enthusiasm and a wagging tail!
