Certified Professional Dog Training and K9 Nose Work®

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer using positive reinforcement and rewards based techniques.

I take a holistic approach to your puppy or dogs life, including behaviour, enrichment and socialisation so that both yours and your dogs needs and wants are met for a successful and happy life together.

  • Private Dog Training

    Are you experiencing a problem behaviour you need to address? Perhaps recall, resource guarding or jumping up. Private consultations, either in-home or at my North Sydney training studio, are designed to work on basic training or individual behaviour issues with your dog.

  • Premium Private Puppy Training

    Getting or just got a new puppy? One-on-one puppy consultations, held in my North Sydney Training Studio, are tailored for puppy’s success and to guide you on the first months at home, to introduce training and build your little pup’s confidence in the big wide world.

  • Bespoke Puppy School

    Puppy ownership can be challenging and there is so much that you probably want to know. This one-of-a-kind program held at Pet Medical Milsons Point, using positive reinforcement techniques, will support you in these first important few months and beyond.

K9 Nose Work®

This is an Activity for companion dogs developed by three detection dog trainers, Ron Gaunt, Amy Herot, and Jill Marie O`Brien. Teaching your dog to search and find something you want them to find, in a safe and controlled environment for fun.

Perfect to give your dog a new activity for all-weather conditions, especially our hot humid summers, or Very wet winter days and anything in between.

“Emma’s positive reinforcement techniques and tailored approach have not only built Truffle's confidence but also strengthened our bond with him. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend The Successful Hound services to any pet owner looking to unlock their dog's full potential.”
