AMY'S STORY
Crafty K9 Services
From working as an Animal Nursing Assistant in a Veterinary Centre, to working as an overloaded doggy day care handler, I saw first hand the struggles that dogs and people were dealing with on a daily basis. But, this also meant that I got lots of hands on experience with different breeds and temperaments. I then decided to get my first working dog, a female working line German Shepherd called Rhaya, to help expand my training knowledge and venture into the sport dog world.
​
I have been working with dogs for about 5 years, and got into training dogs just over 2 years ago. I plan to never stop learning my craft and offer the best possible service for my clients!

ABOUT CRAFTY K9 SERVICES
Every dog is different, and everyone learns differently. Whether you are a practical learner, or need some help with the theory behind your dogs training, I will personalise and tailor the training to you and your dog. I use motivation, play and communication to teach all wanted behaviours, giving the owner the skills and tools to utilise in the read world.
Training the dog is one thing, but training the owner to maintain their dogs training, handle their dog and be consistent, is where long lasting results are found which is what separates me from the rest.

Communication, Relationship & Play Comes First
Every dog will have something that they find motivating, but my job as a dog trainer is to build your dogs motivation up, as well as your understanding, in every area possible. Your dog won't take food outside? Lets build your dogs motivation for food.
Your dog wont play with you when there are distractions? Lets build some play that your dog enjoys. Your dog won't listen outside? Lets see why!
