Welcome!

Hi, I’m Elle, and I know you just want a well-behaved dog—having a superstar is a bonus! ⭐ With over a decade helping dogs and owners, I’ve seen what works (and what doesn’t), and I’m here to make training easy, stress-free, and fun for both of you.

No single method is perfect. Private lessons give you hands-on help but lack real-world distractions. Group classes provide social practice but can be overwhelming. Online learning is flexible but often lacks accountability. That’s why I’ve combined the best of all three—giving you the structure and support you need while avoiding the downsides.

✔ Personalised guidance to help you succeed
✔ Real-world practice without overwhelm
✔ Flexible learning with expert support

If you’re in The Sunshine Coast I’ve got a program to help you and your dog thrive. Let’s get started—training your dog can be easier than you think!

PS: When you contact us, you will be contacting Elle directly. We don't use chat bots and we don't use an assistant. You're talking to Elle!
