Ziggy
Veteran Military Dog Trainer with 6+ years experience training / handling working K9s. Proven track record of delivering high-quality dogs, teaching a range of disciplines; a variety of Search dogs, Police dogs, and Protection Dogs. Aided pet and sport dog owners by providing guidance on reactivity, obedience, and scent-work training. Experienced with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments.
I believe the best training is kind, clear and fun. Every behaviour starts with strong foundations, built at your dog’s pace, so they understand what’s being asked and actually enjoy doing it.
Working with operational dogs showed me that the more thoroughly a dog is prepared, the easier everyday life becomes. A dog who’s been set up well takes it all in their stride.
Let’s connect to explore how my skills can support you.
Meet the Stooges
Rocco
Rocco is a 7 year old, retired military working dog. He is a goofy, playful boy who enjoys chasing, tug and search games. There is nothing he enjoys more than a cuddle. He is the gentle giant that brings a calm and passive energy to a session. He can bring an anxious dog out of their shell and is also extremely tolerant of the more boisterous ones. He makes friends wherever he goes.
Arya
Arya is a young bouncy girl, with endless energy. We call her your friendly neighbourhood Malinois as she loves people, children and dogs. She is much spunkier than her older brother and will enforce strict boundaries. She competes in Flyball and knows a variety of tricks, showcasing them at any given opportunity. Her favourite party trick is to body slam or headbutt you (lovingly of course).
