PASSIONATE ABOUT OBEDIENCE
Hi I'm Mary-Lou - the owner and trainer at My Local Dog Trainer.
With over 30 years of experience in training, working, studying, and competing with dogs, I have learned a lot about their behaviour, learning processes, and the importance of individualized methods.
From 2020 to 2024, I fostered puppies from government agencies. One now works at the airport, another in the Australian Army, and another is training to be a search and rescue dog.
These puppies had to meet targets in obedience, scent searches, and agility challenges to advance in their training but also to keep their minds and bodies healthy.
With a wealth of experience, vast knowledge base and incredible mentors my strength is in obedience training and behavioural issues.
If you have a dog that has "severe" behavioural issues, I recommend finding a trainer that specialises in this area.
I provide individual dog training, ensuring that all my attention is devoted to each dog and their owner/s.
PASSIONATE ABOUT OBEDIENCE
I am dedicated to assist you to understand the best practices for your dog. You will receive dependable customer service, expert knowledge, and support throughout your training process.
My training style blends the best techniques from multiple sources into my unique approach.
Offering only private lessons and/or board & train multi-day options ensures you get a tailored program for your dog.
A free meet-and-greet service is provided to help everyone make an informed decision before proceeding with training.
