Rivka

Hello,

I've just moved back to Sydney from living in Tasmania for 4 years. During my time there I worked and volunteered as a dog trainer, running puppy school and basic obedience classes.

For a year I worked for RSPCA-TAS, part-time in office and part-time assisting with dog behaviour concerns, using positive de-escalation techniques that reduced reactivity.

I also assisted families with difficult dogs that couldn't attend classes. We worked from 3 house calls a week for 4 weeks. I taught the pups how to watch and process information better so that, rather than reacting to triggers, they would recognise that there was nothing worth being triggered by anymore. They regained the ability to think for themselves, started showing a lot more self control, and we got them on the paths to grow into old wise dogs.

I am happy with kitty cats that do love attention and snuggles, and I am respectful of the felines that prefer quiet time and no touch policies.

I have a love for all animals and have experience with horses, ferrets, rabbits and snakes!

I can be contacted by phone or email. Do let me know if you have any questions.
