Reviews

What dog owners say after working with Pauline.

Pauline reads every single review. Feedback from happy clients — and honest feedback from any client — is what keeps her sharpening her craft after decades in the work. Each review is a chance to refine the process, notice patterns, and provide a better service for the next dog and the next owner who walks through the door.

If you've ever worked with Pauline — recently or years ago, in-home, in-studio, or online — a quick Google review takes two minutes and genuinely helps her reach the next family whose dog needs help.

A lot of information provided, most of the time is hands on with dog, which was very helpful. Not going to lie training is mostly for the owners not dog, they are smart enough to have already worked out who's the boss. Not going to be a quick fix if that's what you are looking for, lots of practice and repetition required to succeed. Pauline is very easy to work with, friendly and approachable. Session was flexible with working on issues and asking questions. Tilly's behaviour is improving - the small wins make it worthwhile. We still have a long way to go but now have the tools and information to get there and being able to contact Pauline any time is fantastic. Located in Port Augusta, fur-baby Tilly (American Bulldog, Rottweiler, Staffy cross).

Hi I'm Annie and my little dog is Tilly - a Jack Russell Cross. I took Tilly to Pauline when Tilly was an anxious, reactive, barking little dog and very much in control. But it didn't take long for me to see a difference in Tilly once Pauline started working with us. You have to be very consistent with this method and follow the process. It's made for a much happier life for me and my little dog Tilly. Thanks Pauline 😊

Pauline did a wonderful job of helping us to understand the power dynamics going on with our dogs. She gave us practical advice to follow that actually worked. She really understands the psyche of animals.

We are already seeing positive behaviour changes from Emma. Less jumping up and she is in her own bed. Lol not mine. We have listened and put into practice some of what Pauline showed us today. Surprisingly I'm not feeling guilty. I'm looking forward to Emma being the girl we want her to be by following the guidance from Pauline.

Pauline is absolutely amazing. Went beyond our expectations. She has given us so many strategies to help with our dogs. They have all been very settled after only one week. The issue was John and myself — and Pauline used very gentle correction. We are extremely grateful as we have changed our ways and the dogs are so much settled. I highly recommend Pauline.

Our six-month-old black Lab had us exasperated with her impulsive, exuberant and strong-willed behaviour. Pauline outlined a set of rules to ensure that we are the pack leader. In just over an hour Clover went from jumping all over Pauline to standing quietly by her side awaiting commands. The transformation was astounding.
