Elena holds a Certificate in Animal Management (Canine Behaviour and Training) and uses the latest science-based training methods in her work. As a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers of New Zealand (APDTNZ), Elena is committed to helping owners build positive, lasting relationships with their dogs. Working at a dog daycare has given her extensive hands-on experience supervising group play and managing canine socialisation, while volunteering at SPCA has provided valuable insight into helping dogs overcome fear, stress, and difficult past experiences. Elena is passionate about dog rescue and promoting healthy socialisation, and also enjoys competing with her small poodle mix, Lexi, in Rally-O and Scent Work. 

30 min walk - $29 - this will be a walk close to your home, but I'll make sure it's interesting and varied each time.

1hr walk - $39 - we'll drive to a reserve or park nearby and explore the area, and include a bit of training.

1.5 hr walk - $49 - the ultimate adventure. Your dog will have heaps of fun exploring natural environments, socialising and doing some training. This walk will be pleasantly tiring both physically and mentally to even the most energetic dogs.

Multiple times available druing the day, so let me know what works for you.

I use only positive training methods and I can help point you in the right direction whether you'd like to teach your dog a new skill, see a behaviour change, or keep their brain engaged.

30 min house visits are available, I can administer oral medication, play with your dog and do a bit of training as well as water the house plants.
