Da Vinci Dog Training

Certified in dog training and behaviour, I’m here too support you and your dog from the puppy stage through to senior and any problems in between.

I am certified in dog behaviour and training and am continuously upskilling. I love what I do and I firmly believe that as dog guardians, it is our duty to ensure our dogs lead fulfilling and enriched lives. I am not about using force, I aim to help you build a strong partnership with your dog, one where you work with them rather than against, using positive reinforcement. By analyzing your dog's behaviors, I can uncover ways to support them and you effectively.

🐾 Three brands. One purpose. Better lives for dogs.

Club K9 was invited to attend Unitec’s Environmental and Animal Sciences Industry Connect Event—but, of course, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to also share the work we do through Da Vinci Dog and Guiding Paws.

Toni and Alarna, both proud Unitec graduates, were joined by Enzo and Bruno for an afternoon of meeting up-and-coming dog trainers, animal-care professionals and welfare advocates.

It was wonderful connecting with students and recent graduates, hearing about their goals and discussing pathways into daycare, dog training, behaviour, rescue, fostering and animal welfare.

We’re passionate about helping the next generation gain real-world experience through placements, volunteering and employment—and we were thrilled to be featured in Unitec’s article about the event!

Thank you to Unitec for inviting us and for continuing to create valuable connections between students and the animal-care industry. 💜

Loved talking to these students about dogs and career paths they can take, so many stories to share I may or may not have gone over time 😂

Meet Keego 🐾

This handsome 9-month-old Samoyed has just started his training journey with us, and we’re focusing on building calm, confident behaviours out on walks 💛

Like many young dogs, Keego finds the world pretty exciting—especially other dogs! So we’re working on:
✨ Loose lead walking
✨ Choosing engagement with his humans
✨ Feeling calmer and more neutral around dogs

Our approach is always about working with the dog, not against them—helping them understand what to do, rather than correcting what not to do.

We’re so excited to watch Keego grow in confidence and make great choices out in the world 🐕

New case, new journey 🐾

Today I started working with Remi & Romeo, two adolescent Chow Chow boys, Remi is navigating some early reactivity and resource guarding behaviours.

This is actually a really important developmental stage — especially for this breed — where we often start to see changes in social behaviour.

Our focus will be on:
✔️ Calm, structured foundations
✔️ Reducing over-arousal
✔️ Building neutral responses around dogs
✔️ Creating positive associations around resources

Early intervention like this can make a huge difference long-term 👏

Follow along to see the progress!

Loved today’s puppy class, had a couple of volunteers training a rescue puppy each and some new puppy owners who are totally in love with their new babies. We are going to have a fun four weeks together.
