Focus Dog Training

How it began - Maddi's story

​

Growing up I loved all animals and it was always my dream to work outdoors with animals. I loved spending every afternoon outside with my 2 dogs and my little hobby farm where I raised and sold chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs.

 

After finishing Year 12, I worked and travelled overseas for a couple of years. After returning from my trip to Africa in 2019, I got a job near home at a school farm where I have been working ever since.

 

At the start of the Covid19 Pandemic I lost my job for about 2 months so I decided to upskill myself: I was always interested in learning about dog behaviour, so I started a course with the NDTF to complete my Cert III in Dog Behaviour and Training. Throughout the course I was able to apply the skills I was learning on my own dogs and was amazed by the results. I couldn't believe what I was seeing - it was so incredibly rewarding - to see my old girls learn so much. I believe they’ve learnt more in the last 12 months than they had in their previous 12 years.

 

I started Focus Dog Training school because I wanted to help improve quality of life for people and their pets. A well-behaved dog is more able to go on outings, visit friend’s houses, out for lunch and generally have more freedom throughout their life.

 

My goal is to help pet owners create a calm companion that fits into their lifestyle. I’m looking forward to working with people and dogs through Focus Dog Training full time in the future.
