About Me

👋Hi, I'm Sammy! Animals have always been my passion, and I feel lucky to spend my days helping people and their pets live happier lives together. I’ve been working in the animal care industry for over three years and have truly found my calling in supporting dogs and cats to feel safe, confident and understood.

I previously worked as a behaviour trainer at the RSCPA, where I supported dogs and cats with a wide range of temperaments and needs. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust and meet every animal where they are. Over time I developed a special interest in working with reactive and fearful dogs, and I genuinely love the challenge of helping them grow into calmer, more confident companions.

I use only positive reinforcement and force free training methods, never punishment. My top priority is making sure every animal feels secure, because when pets feel safe, they are able to think, learn and make lasting behavioural changes.

At home, there is usually a foster cat or two keeping me company. I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, from my little silky terrier cross Maltese to my grandparents’ working kelpies on their sheep farm. This gave me a lifelong appreciation for both couch cuddlers and high-energy working breeds.

Whether you are working through behaviour concerns or simply want to build a stronger bond with your pet, I would love to help. I provide dog training and cat behaviour support in Brisbane, Ipswich and surrounding areas, and I am here to guide you every step of the way.
