At Neewood Pups, we're committed to empowering you in cultivating a deeper bond with your dog. Our flagship offering, the Beyond Training online course, equips dog owners with the insights to explore their pet's behaviours in relation to lifestyle and breed-specific needs.

This knowledge enables informed adjustments that enhance well-being and pave the way for a harmonious life together.

Renee is a dedicated canine behaviour enthusiast with a playful spirit, she combines a lifelong love of dogs with extensive experience to help dog owners achieve harmonious relationships with their pets. Growing up surrounded by dogs and advocating for her own lively rescues fuelled her dedication to understanding and improving canine behaviour.

Her journey spans from volunteering with the Auckland SPCA to owning a bustling dog daycare, where she managed up to 80 dogs daily, acquiring invaluable skills in dealing with a wide array of canine personalities and issues. Renee's deep expertise is bolstered by advanced training, including Mark Vette's Train the Trainer, The School of Canine Science courses, and specialised workshops in reactivity strategies.

Living with her amazing rescue dogs, Badger and Lloyd, along with embracing the lessons taught by her first rescue, Mischa, Renee understands firsthand the intricacies of canine needs. Her personal and professional experiences inspire her needs-based approach, focusing on understanding individual dog behaviours and enabling lifestyle adjustments for better owner-canine harmony.

Renee, alongside her young son Arlo, who is crafting his dog obedience skills, is devoted to helping owners foster environments where both they and their dogs can flourish.

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.

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 demeanor 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.
