Here to help
families & their pets.
Hi, I’m Jo.
​
I’m an accredited animal behaviourist with over a decade of hands-on experience working with dogs and the families who welcome them into their lives.
​
My work has taken me from raising and rehabilitating rescue dogs with complex needs to supporting families through new puppies, adolescent stages, and behavioural challenges. Along the way, I’ve learned that success with dogs isn’t about perfect training — it’s about preparation, understanding, and the right support at the right time.
​
I focus on the whole picture: your dog, your home, and your capacity as a family, so that what we work through is practical, realistic, and sustainable in everyday life.
​
That’s what I help families do at For Dogs Sake: start well, stay supported, and build a life with their dog that actually works.
