Meet Flip - Your Favourite Queenstown Dog Trainer & Behaviour  Consultant

Passionate. Patient. Professional. Positive. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. I know each dog and owner is different, and I’ll work with you to get the training and guidance needed. Whether you’re thinking about getting a puppy, have a re-home, or already own a dog with behavioural problems, or want to learn something fun - I am here to help.

​

I'm a member of APDTNZ and use positive, scientific based training and knowledge to get the best long lasting results. Training through play. I've been a professional certified dog trainer for over 10 years in New Zealand.  I am also a Certified Trick Dog Instructor & Canine Conditioning Fitness Coach. I'm a self-proclaimed dog training geek; along with many professional canine behaviour qualifications, I'm always up-skilling, learning, adapting and geeking up. I actively help rescue centres across NZ to re-home and provide training support. 

I've 3 dogs. Alfie, a Cavoodle I had from a pup (8yrs old).  He is the first Trick Dog Grand Champion & the only Canine Conditioning Fitness Champion in New Zealand. He has his ADXA GOLD (Agility Dog Excellence Advanced) Gold title (the highest levels in Dog Agility). Jack, is my 6yr old rescued Bearded Collie X, he is a Trick Dog Champion.  He has his levels 1-3 in Canine Conditioning fitness.  He came to me with high reactivity as a 10month old pup and currently is doing rehab for shoulder and back injuries. Bear is 2yrs old and the newest member of the pack.  He is a Bearded Collie X, rescued by Dog Rescue Dunedin.  He is working on his basics and is already an Advanced Trick Dog! He helps with Pet First Aid and training support.

​

My aim is that everyone has fun with their dog, whether it's a nice loose-leash walk, dog relaxing whilst you drink at a cafe, great manners, to off leash recall to fun tricks to scent work to dog agility! 

Enjoy your time with your dog in our great outdoor playground.
