Building bonds, shaping behaviours
Welcome
The Barking Bear
Hi, I’m Jodie! A proud dog mum, accredited dog trainer, and your partner in creating a great relationship with your dog.
What I do
If you’ve got a playful puppy or a seasoned senior, I’m here to make life with your dog as joyful as possible through science-backed, positive reinforcement training tailored just for you.
From learning the basics to tackling tricky behaviours, I provide bespoke training solutions designed to fit your dog’s unique personality—and yours. Whether it's building rock-solid recall, mastering loose-lead walking, or helping a nervous pup find confidence, my aim is to help you and your dog thrive together.
Through one-to-one sessions, group classes, or even pre-puppy consultations, I’ll help you lay a solid foundation of trust and understanding.
Let’s turn confusion into communication and bring out the best in your four-legged family member!
Why choose me?
I’ve walked the path of a confused dog parent, struggling to understand my own pup’s unique needs. That journey inspired me to train with the best, earning accreditations with the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and the ABTC (Animal Behaviour and Training Council). Now, I’m here to share that knowledge and make your training journey as smooth, kind, and effective as possible.
Together, let’s build a bond with your dog that’s full of love, trust, and plenty of wagging tails.
