Welcome to Dog Above!
I hold a Certificate in Animal Management, specialising in Canine Behaviour and Training but that's not what makes me special.
I'm passionate about taking the stress out of dog ownership so dog and family can coexist harmoniously, and your dog can live its best life.
My speciality is setting puppies up for life. Helping new puppy owners as they struggle with the reality of having a puppy and enabling the puppy to safely acclimatise to the sounds and sights of our modern-day world.
I am a reward-based trainer, the well-being of your dog is always my top priority.
I service Orewa, Red Beach and the Central Auckland suburbs.
With 15 years of experience, I’ve worked in dog rescue and puppy training schools. My passion for dogs has only grown over time. As a dedicated Rottweiler owner and trainer, I’ve witnessed firsthand the incredible bond that can be forged between humans and their furry companions.
I offer kind, safe, structured walks for your puppy or dog.

Dog Above can help your puppy learn life is good through the use of sound, touch and smell.
My "Good Dog" training walks include recall practice, loose lead walking and dog manners.
