Struggling with your dog?
If your dog’s behaviour is becoming stressful, unpredictable, or just not where you want it to be— you’re in the right place.
At Canine Connection, I work with you to create calm, reliable behaviour and a dog you can actually enjoy living with. Whether it’s reactivity, anxiety, disobedience, or raising a new puppy, the goal is simple: real results that last.
Every dog is different, so training is tailored to your situation, your lifestyle, and your goals.
What I can help with
No matter what you’re dealing with, I focus on getting real, practical results.
From reactivity such as barking, lunging, and overexcitement, to anxiety, nervous behaviour, and more complex aggression or control issues — I provide tailored training to address the root of the problem.
I also specialise in early puppy development, alongside building solid obedience, everyday manners, and calm, reliable behaviour in all environments.
What happens next?
Once you reach out, we’ll organise a time for a consultation to chat about what’s going on with your dog and the challenges you’re facing.
I’ll then guide you through how I can help and put together a training plan that suits both you and your dog.
From there, we can book your first session and start making real progress.

Looking for a dog trainer in Auckland who specializes in reactivity?
Reactivity, aggression, fear, and anxiety are all things I specialise in. During these sessions we will get to the root cause of why your dog is acting the way they are. The training will be tailored to your individual dog and their specific needs, whilst also building your confidence and giving you a clear path forward.
Puppy training
Getting the right advice and guidance during the most important time of their life is crucial for creating a calm, well-behaved dog. When it comes to behavioural issues, prevention is the best treatment. Don’t wait until you have issues, start now and make sure you never have them. In these sessions we will go over proper socialisation, crate training, toilet training, problem behaviours, and everything else in between. You will also receive a copy of my Ultimate Puppy Raising Guidebook.
Group training sessions
Our Chaos to Calm group classes are designed for reactive dog owners to practice in real life situations. Our goal is to help build your confidence, along with your dog’s, as we help guide you through these situations. We often attend dog shows and market days. Classes are usually held fortnightly on Saturdays. A one-on-one session is required first.
