Success Stories
Renee has a special gift for training dogs, alongside her unwavering patience and calmness. Our rescue pup Leni, who struggles with high anxiety and trust issues, immediately built a rapport with her. Renee’s tailored training approach became evident as Leni positively responded to her sessions, showcasing skills we never knew he had. She educated us on sustaining his training at home, ensuring consistency in our progress. We wholeheartedly recommend Renee’s training program for any dog owner seeking a balanced and joyful companionship.
Alana & Chip
Trust is a word often overused, but when it comes to Renee, it's completely earned. Her rare blend of professionalism, kindness, and natural talent with dogs is truly impressive. She connects deeply with them, and the joy and positive energy they exhibit in her presence is incredible. Renee has been instrumental in training our three active dogs from puppies and continues to play a big part in their development. She not only empowers our dogs but also teaches us as owners to maintain these results at home, blending patience and motivation with great techniques. Renee has made an incredible difference in our lives, and we highly recommend her to all dog owners.

Meeting Renee in 2022 was a transformative moment for my Doberman, Oscar. Since being imported from the U.K. in 2019, Oscar had mixed experiences with doggy daycares, but Renee changed everything. It's clear from the start that she understands dogs on a deep level, recognising their needs and reading their behaviour intuitively. Their immediate bond and ongoing positive relationship are a testament to her skills and dedication. Renee’s calm and engaging approach made it easy to trust her with Oscar’s care, and he genuinely enjoys his time with her. Her depth of knowledge and genuine love for dogs is unparalleled, and I highly recommend her to any dog owner seeking exceptional care and training.

Renee, your dedication and care for Max and all the pups who have the privilege of knowing you is remarkable. You treat every dog as if they're your own, making them part of your family. The bond you form with them is truly special, and your deep knowledge shines through everything you do. What truly stands out is your genuine passion for dogs, which is reflected in the thriving, joyful pups under your care. From photos of their adventures to their happy demeanour upon returning, it's clear they enjoy ample quality time with you. As pet owners, we value knowing our dogs are well looked after and cherished, and with you, we are completely confident they are. We'll gladly continue to rely on your exceptional services.
