Our focus and passion is helping you and your dog develop the skills to strengthen your connection — through shared activities that are meaningful for both of you.
We specialise in dog-centred teaching that works with your dog’s natural instincts, creating learning that feels clear, enjoyable, and sustainable in real life.
Our offerings include Nosework/Scentwork classes (in-person), online courses, Hunting Games and Canine Enrichment programs. All in-person training and coaching is based in Adelaide, South Australia.
All our classes are suitable for dogs who may not feel comfortable in traditional group settings — including those who are sensitive, anxious, or simply don’t quite “fit” the usual mould. You and your dog are welcome here.

What customers are saying
What are Sniffing Games?
Sniffing Games is a non-trialing version of Nosework (also know as Scentwork), that taps into your dog’s natural instinct to sniff, search, and solve problems.
It’s more than just a fun activity – it’s a powerful way to build confidence, focus, and independence, all while strengthening your connection as a team.
In Nosework, your dog learns to use their incredible sense of smell to find food, toys, or specific target odours – turning everyday environments into exciting scent puzzles.
Because dogs work individually and at their own pace, Nosework is suitable for:
- all breeds
- all ages
- shy, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed dogs
It provides both mental stimulation and physical exercise, without the pressure of traditional training environments.
As your dog learns to trust their nose and make their own choices, you’ll see something special:
- more confidence
- more focus
- and a dog who wants to engage with you
We are opening an account of joy and enthusiasm and want to keep adding to this account in this dog driven game!

What are Hunting Games?
Hunting Games is all about channeling your dog’s natural instincts into fun, structured training games – using food, toys, and the environment as rewards. You can play these games everywhere without any big setup.
What if the behaviours you find challenging – running off, chasing, sniffing everything, getting distracted by the environment – are actually the perfect starting point for learning?
Hunting Games is designed to help you better understand what makes your dog tick. You’ll learn more about their desires, motivations, and needs, and then use that knowledge to build focus, connection, and reliability through fun, structured games.
Instead of trying to stop your dog from being who they are, we channel those natural instincts into skills that matter in everyday life.
What is Canine Enrichment?
Canine Enrichment is all about understanding your dog’s unique needs and carefully shaping a safe, supportive environment where they can thrive. It focuses on meeting your dog’s needs, giving them agency and safe opportunities to be a dog.
I have developed Hunting Games for Pet Dogs, to give your gundog (or any breed that has a desire to retrieve) the outlet they need.

I specialise in positive reinforcement based training methods. I will never intentionally involve any forms of physical or psychological intimidation to train, engage or interact with a living being.
Teaching our dog’s life skills should be fun and engaging, I love to create games that focus on relationship building, trusting each other and raising a dog with clarity and freedom.
