There are a lot of adjectives you could use to describe dogs that are just a little bit extra. Anxious, sensitive, reactive, timid, shy, fearful, nervous, 'spicy', quirky... Behaviourally we might see:
- barking, pulling, and lunging on walks
- reacting and barking at noise at home
- barking excessively at visitors or neighbours
- unsure in new or busy environments, or with new people
- trying to chase birds, small animals, bikes or other moving objects
- barking at other dogs
- lunging, pulling and showing frustration around other dogs
Even in just one of those behaviours there will be a lot going on for your dog. I help you put together the training pieces of your dog's puzzle in order to help you both understand each other, communicate better and ultimately thrive together.

I’m a dog trainer in Tauranga offering 1-on-1 private coaching that’s all about helping you understand your own dog. We’ll look at their specific needs, the genetics that might be influencing their behaviour, and how to work alongside their triggers so they can build resilience.
My goal is simple — to help you and your dog understand each other better. We’ll build a shared language so communication feels easy, your bond gets stronger, and you both thrive together.
If you’re in Tauranga and want a dog trainer who takes the time to get to know you and your dog, let’s work together.
As a Tauranga based oodle owner myself, I know exactly what it’s like to live with their quirks, sensitivities, and boundless energy. My own cavoodle, Joey, went from reacting to other dogs, air-snapping, and refusing to walk with the rest of my family… to confidently walking off-lead with other dogs, with a rock-solid recall. That journey taught me first-hand how important it is to understand breed traits and tailor training to suit both dog and owner. It’s why I’m passionate about oodle training and helping other owners through personalised dog training.
Oodles are an interesting blend of their breed genetics. Many people don’t realise that the poodle side often brings a sharp brain, a sporty drive, and a level of hyperactivity that can quickly become a challenge if their curiosity and intelligence aren’t channelled into healthy outlets. Without the right mental and physical stimulation, those traits can show up as reactivity, constant pestering, or destructive behaviour.
As a dog trainer Tauranga locals trust, I will help you create routines, activities, and strategies that work for our Tauranga lifestyle while giving your dog the structure and enrichment they need.
The goal is simple: a dog who can relax, focus, and enjoy life — and a home where everyone can actually enjoy each other’s company.
Our dog training sessions are tailored to both you and your individual dog. We work on behaviours that you deem as most pressing and develop training plans that are both effective and realistic for you to follow.
Sessions must be used with in 8 weeks of purchasing or unless prior agreement.
