Dog Behavioural Services

Aside from educating children about dogs through books, school visits and chats, I enjoy helping to create rewarding relationships between dogs and their humans.

This includes investigating the cause of, and addressing behavioural issues that your dog may display, and guiding general training.

A dog that knows his or her role within the household and what behaviours are desirable in that environment, and one that is healthy and cared for is a HAPPY and WELL-MANNERED dog - and that makes for INCREDIBLY HAPPY humans.

I have a life-long rapport with dogs, beginning as a child.  I have trained many dogs, and until recently was a long term volunteer with an Assistance Dog organisation.

I also hold the following formal qualifications:

Certificate in Dog Psychology, Behaviour and Training

Certificate in Caring for Dogs

Certificate IV in Training and Assessment.

The services I offer to help dogs and their humans are designed to be affordable to anyone in need of assistance with their dog and, in some circumstances, free of charge.  If you need help, or just want to chat about your dog, please contact me.

I generally work via telephone, email, and Skype, but am happy to discuss options.   I am based in Adelaide, South Australia and do a small number of home or face-to-face visits.

Please note that I do not work with all breeds and all issues and will discuss that with you if you choose to contact me.   If I am not the right person to help you, I will you try to direct you to someone who can.

Feel free to email me with any questions about the services I offer, or just to chat about your dog or dogs in general at dogs@ginadawson.com  

I am aiming at having my new website www.dogchat.com.au   up and running in 2024.

I look forward to hearing from you.

In the meantime, happy dog times for you and your canine companion.
