Get in touch

Let's sort your dog out.

Tell me what's going on and I'll tell you straight whether I can help — and roughly what it'll take. No obligation, no sales pitch.

Fastest way

Just give me a call

Honestly, this is the quickest route. Two minutes on the phone and I can usually tell you what your dog needs, what it will cost, and when I can get to you.

Where I work
Adelaide CBD, the inner south, the southern beaches, the City of Onkaparinga, McLaren Vale and the Fleurieu Peninsula through to Victor Harbor. I come to you — there is no premises to visit.
When
7 days — flexible around your schedule. A lot of dog problems are easier to see outside business hours anyway — the doorbell at 6pm, the walk after work, the house at its busiest.

Urgent?

If you have a council barking notice with a deadline on it, or a dog that has bitten or come close, say so when you get in touch. Those go to the front of the queue.

Or send an enquiry

Tell me about your dog

The more you tell me, the more useful my reply will be.

What happens next

From your message to your dog

No sales funnel, no three-day wait for a “consultation call”. This is the whole process.

  1. You get in touch

    Call, text, email or the form — whichever one you will actually do. If you ring while I am working with a dog it will go to voicemail, so leave a message or send a text and I will come back to you. A text with your suburb and one line about the problem is plenty to start with.

  2. We talk it through properly

    What your dog does, when it started, what changed around then, what you have already tried and what you want instead. This is also where I tell you whether I am the right person for it. Occasionally the answer is no — a vet first, or a veterinary behaviourist — and you should hear that on the phone rather than after you have paid me.

  3. We book a time that suits

    Including evenings and weekends, which are often better anyway because that is when the household is at its busiest and the problems are easiest to see. If you are down the Fleurieu, bookings get grouped into a single run through the peninsula — so say if your timing is flexible and I will get you onto the next one.

  4. I come to you

    Your house, your street, your dog's actual life. Nothing to drive to, no dog that has to be wrestled into a car before the training even starts, and no trying to reproduce a problem in a hall that only ever happens at your front door.

Worth mentioning

What to tell me when you get in touch

None of it is compulsory — ring and talk it through if that is easier. But the more of this I have up front, the more useful my first answer is, and the less of your session gets spent on questions I could have asked beforehand.

  • Your dog’s age, breed or best guess, and how long you have had them
  • What your dog actually does — the behaviour itself, rather than what you think it means
  • When it started, and anything that changed around the same time
  • What you have already tried, especially the things that did not work
  • Your suburb, so I know whether that is a weeknight or the next Fleurieu run
  • Anything urgent: a bite, a near-miss, or a council notice with a date on it

Questions

Before you get in touch

All the questions I get asked
What areas do you cover?
From the Adelaide CBD south through to Victor Harbor. That is the inner south, the southern beaches from Glenelg to Hallett Cove, the whole City of Onkaparinga, the Southern Vales through McLaren Vale and Aldinga, and the Fleurieu Peninsula including Victor Harbor, Goolwa, Port Elliot, Normanville and Yankalilla.
Do you really travel to Victor Harbor and the Fleurieu?
Yes. I group Fleurieu bookings so a run down covers several households in the same trip, which is what makes it work at that distance. If your timing is flexible, mention it and I will get you onto the next run.
I am just outside your area. Can you still help?
Ask. I would rather tell you honestly than have you guess. If I genuinely cannot get to you, I will say so.
Do you cover the Adelaide Hills or the northern suburbs?
Generally not. The corridor is the CBD south to Victor Harbor, and I would rather be genuinely useful across that stretch than spread thin across the whole of Adelaide. If you are north of the city or up in the Hills it is still worth asking — if I cannot get to you I will try to point you at someone who can.
How quickly can you come out?
It varies with how busy the week is. If your situation is urgent — a council barking notice with a deadline, or an aggression case — say so when you get in touch and I will prioritise it.
Do you do evenings and weekends?
Yes. A lot of dog problems are easier to see outside business hours anyway — the doorbell at 6pm, the walk after work, the household at its busiest.
What if I need to move the booking?
Let me know as early as you can and we will find another time. Things come up — a sick dog, a shift that changes, a kid with a temperature. The one that is genuinely harder to shuffle is a Fleurieu booking, because those are grouped into a single run down the peninsula, so a late change there can mean waiting for the next one.
