OUR ETHOS
At the core of our approach is a commitment to understanding the science and physiology behind canine behaviour. We focus on evidence-based methods that consider the biological, psychological, and environmental factors influencing behaviour.
By examining these underlying mechanisms, we can address the root causes of behavioural issues rather than simply managing symptoms, ensuring more effective and lasting results.
In order to achieve our goals, we rely on reward-based techniques and utilise the LIMA method.
We believe that dogs learn best in an environment where they feel safe, respected, and understood. Fear-based methods can damage trust and cause unnecessary stress, and therefore we do not advocate for these techniques. Our approach, grounded in both scientific principles and compassion, sets us apart from others in the field.
We’re thrilled to help you and your dog create a stronger bond built on science and compassion.
About Mystery!
Hi there! I’m Mystery, your canine behaviourist/ trainer committed to using science and evidence-e3based training techniques to help dogs and their owners communicate effectively and build strong, trusting bonds. I hold a Certificate II in Animal Care, have studied under the RSPCA, and earned my Dog Training Behaviour Certificate (DBTC). I have completed courses on pain assessment and impact on behaviour, as well as completing several STSK9 courses. I have attended and continue to attend numerous canine behaviour and training seminars all over Australia, and have had the pleasure of directly learning from working with leading trainers within the industry.
My training philosophy is based on prioritizing the emotional well-being of both the dog and the owner. I believe in creating a safe, supportive environment where dogs and people can learn at their own pace. Every dog is different, and so is every person!
If you’re looking for someone who understands the difficulties of owning dogs, and knows how to guide you to a better quality of life for both you and your dog, I’d love to work with you!
