CANINE BEHAVIOUR ACADEMY

     

 Jane is a natural dog trainer. She’s also totally across the theory and science of dog cognition and has oodles of effective strategies in her bag of tricks to help you and your hound have a happy, healthy relationship. I can’t recommend her more highly.

 I contacted Jane because my beautiful boy, Bowie, was becoming quite reactive on leash around other dogs/animals. She immediately identified it was out of anxiety and helped me to better identify signs of anxiety in Bow. She provided a comprehensive report and suggested activities Bowie and I could do to help his anxiety and on-leash walking. Things are still a work in progress, but thanks to Jane, Bowie has become far more confident on-leash and is living his happiest life. Would highly recommend if you want to better understand how your dog behaves, thinks and feels.

 We had a wonderful session with Jane last week. She gave us insight to what Eddie ( our very nervous collie) may be feeling and experiencing. Her gentle guidance and obviously well informed methods gave us invaluable tools to help Eddie to be calmer when out on a walk, particularly when there are other dogs close by. After only a week of implementing Jane’s suggestions we have seen big improvements. Thank you Jane!

 I cant recommend, praise and thank Jane enough for her part in mine and Dash's journey to a more relaxed and happy life together. Jane offers a holistic approach to training which is what I have been searching for in a trainer for a long time. She is kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Very accomodating with me living outside of Canberra and her follow up training plan is fantastic as its impossible to retain all that information from your initial consultation! My initial consultation with Jane really reassured me that there is hope for Dash and I, and inspired me to pour all of my time and effort into training Dash. We now have so much fun training at home and we cant wait to catch up with Jane again soon so that we can learn some new tricks and life skills!

 Jane has been absolutely amazing at 'human training' me to help me communicate with Bill, our one year old Blue Heeler. Jane did a private session with us and we also did the 4 week group beginner training course which has been pivotal to our puppy progress. I couldn't have come so far without Janes help and constant positive reinforcement. It was also a really nice way to start my Sunday mornings! Thanks Jane!

 I would highly recommend Jane from The Canine Behaviour Academy. We have worked with Jane since our German Shorthaired Pointer puppy (Zoe) came home and it has made the world of difference in making her addition to our family such a joy. Jane was able to build my skills to teach Zoe all of the basic commands needed as well as a few fun tricks. Attending group classes has also helped build Zoe’s focus on commands when distracted. If you’re bringing home a new puppy or looking to trouble shoot some issues with an adult dog, Jane is the place to start.

 I recommend Jane wholeheartedly as does my border collie, Junee! Jane has improved Junee's and my family's quality of life tremendously in just a few sessions. Her depth of knowledge and intuitive understanding of dogs is amazing, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot overstate her knowledge and creativity in designing solutions to manage Junee's lovely but exhausting temperament!

 Definitely Recommend Jane and the canine behaviour academy. She has been assisting us with our boy since he was a puppy. Kind, friendly and very professional. Our boy loves his sessions with Jane for good reason (and not only because she bring good treats)!. Highly recommended not only for little improvements or confidence issues but also for larger behavioural concerns. Jane not only builds the confidence of the dogs but the owners as well - setting us all up for success!

 We had Jane come out to our house this morning to assist us with a 7 month old cattle dog. We’re really impressed with her approach and knowledge. We’ve been given great tips and information to help shape our puppy into a well rounded doggo. We will definitely be joining the group classes also!!

 Jane has a fun and knowledgeable approach to dog training and our 15 month old Ridgeback rescue, Jana, responded really well to our one-on-one session with Jane. After also joining one of the drop-in sessions, we came away with even more really good training & tips and Jana loved the session. Looking forward to the Autumn training sessions and more drop-in sessions to learn even more! Thanks Jane for your help and advice.

 I highly recommend Jane and her fabulous foundation course. Ruffy, my anxious Border Collie and I really enjoyed the course and got so much out of it. Jane taught me a lot about Ruffy's body language and how to best deal with different situations (like other dogs or things that Ruffy is scared of) and how to gradually build his confidence. Ruffy loved learning new commands and hand signals. I was sure he would bark at the other dogs for the whole course but he settled into the course almost immediately thanks to Jane's handling skills. 😁🐶🐶

 My two year old French Mastiff was in a fight with a Rottweiler he knew well. I became concerned that I was perhaps not the right owner for this breed. I considered selling him on. Harvey is part of our family and my three year old son loves him so I decided to seek professional advice before letting him go. A friend suggested Jane and I arranged a home visit for Jane to meet Harvey. After completing initial training I am able to work and understand my dog so much better. Sit, drop, stand, loose lead walking, paws up - Harvey has quickly learnt the fundamentals. Our interactions with him are far more interesting. I had taken Harvey to another trainer but there was no rewards and he did not respond at all to this training. He has responded so well to Jane. Harvey will continue working with Jane and I can highly recommend her as a professional and knowledgeable trainer. Thank you Jane.
