Let's chat.
If you'd like to learn more about my services or discuss what's best for your dog, I'd be happy to arrange a free phone consultation or meet and greet.
Meet and greets are available on Tuesdays by appointment, as I'm out with dogs for most of the week.
Client Reviews
“Eva and her wonderful family took amazing care of my high-energy Gus! They gave him tons of walks, playtime and love, sent heaps of pics while I was away and made sure he felt right at home. When I picked him up, he was so happy and tired. Proof he had the best time ever!! I felt at ease knowing he was with such a caring family. Cannot recommend them enough!”

About Me
Dogs have always been at the heart of my life, but my passion for dog training truly sparked when I volunteered at the Bargo Dingo Sanctuary. Watching them express their natural behaviours gave me a deeper appreciation for canine behaviour and inspired me to pursue dog behaviour and training.
Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to learning as much as I can about dogs and their behaviour. Along the way, I’ve completed my Cert II in Animal Studies through TAFE NSW, earned my Animal First Aid certification and Cert III in Dog Behaviour and Training through the National Dog Training Federation, and hold a current Police Check.
I’ve worked in several doggy daycares, attended seminars with top trainers, and I've led structured pack walks with four to six dogs, all under the guidance of a professional trainer.
My Approach to Dog Care
My approach is built on trust and relationships. I believe that when a dog feels understood and secure, it eases anxiety and builds confidence. That’s why I keep my numbers small, allowing me to get to know each dog as an individual and tailor their care and routine to their needs.
Every dog lives inside with me and is treated like family. Each dog has their own space to settle into and make their own, helping them feel safe and at home.
Unlike larger boarding facilities, I focus on what truly fulfils each individual dog. My days are intentionally balanced, with enriching bush walks or beach adventures. Just as importantly, I prioritise downtime and learning how to settle calmly back at home.
I also incorporate real-world learning into everyday experiences. Rather than relying on structured training sessions, I help dogs build confidence and practical life skills in new environments through positive, everyday experiences.
I believe this balance of adventure, real-world learning, and rest is essential to helping dogs become happy, confident, and well-rounded.
