Iyona

I am an avid animal lover and have been working with animals for over 15 years. I am currently working as a veterinary nurse, however I also have experience in dog training, dog grooming and dog walking. I have been pet sitting for almost 20 years. I have a Labrador and two rescue cats at home who are loving older siblings to my 1 year old human baby.

I have a keen interest in animal behaviour and passionate about teaching owners about enrichment as I believe it is such an important aspect of keeping our pets happy. I have worked with all types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, kangaroos and wombats. I have worked and managed dog daycare and grooming centres and taught group training classes such as puppy schools and social classes.

I also spend my spare time volunteering at a wildlife hospital working with our beautiful Australian wildlife. I really love what I do :) 

I am confident in walking young and old dogs with behavioural issues such as leash pulling, barking, aggression and much more.
