About the trainer

Maree Hart

Maree has gained her dog training experience from various sources over the past 30 years. She has invested over $65,000 training, including both international and national, in-person and online training programs. However, Maree found that many of the online courses fell short of providing what is truly needed to become a confident dog trainer. Even with her natural ability to train just about any animal she wanted formal training to give more credibility. As a result, she is reluctant to endorse any of the courses she has taken, and she has not completed many of them because she felt they lacked value.

Maree tried vet nursing but only lasted 2 weeks as it broke her heart the way people were putting their dogs to sleep because they could not control them.

Maree's greatest lesson came from working with various trainers who employed a wide range of methods. She quickly discarded some techniques, particularly when witnessing a trainer flip a dog and place their knee on its neck to enforce an "alpha hold." This approach was, to say at the least, barbaric. Many practices become outdated for good reason; we now understand that aggression is not necessary to obtain the best behavior from our dogs.

Maree spent 3 months completing a personal coaching course for business people. As she wanted a deeper understanding on how to reach people during her lessons.

Maree has owned and managed two different boarding facilities, which taught her how to handle dogs with diverse temperaments. In both lodges, she was confident enough of managing aggressive dogs and those with behavioral issues, regardless of breed.

Maree self-studied several important topics related to animal behavior and care:

1. Lodging and Bedding: Should we use the lodge's bedding, or should clients bring their own? The answer might surprise you.

2. Feeding Practices: How and what we feed the animals can significantly affect their behavior.

3. Use of Treats: She explored whether it was easier to manage animals with or without treats and how their behavior changed in each scenario. She found that it was easier without treats, as everything flowed more smoothly.

4. Breathing Exercises: It’s crucial to perform breathing exercises before working with animals. If you are feeling grumpy or ungrounded, the dogs won't feel safe and often act out.

5. Observational Learning: Maree has watched thousands of hours of pack structure dynamics, both in person and through documentaries. While her primary focus has been on domestic dogs and wolves, she has gained valuable insights from observing horses, buffalo, cows, bulls, wild and domestic cats, and many other animals. These observations have greatly enhanced her understanding of animal behavior and how to create a more harmonious environment for them.

"I have dedicated my life to helping humans with their dogs. I enjoy witnessing the dramatic transformations that occur in each lesson. Teaching people how to communicate effectively and build strong relationships with their dogs is incredibly rewarding. Now, I am eager to collaborate with other trainers to enhance their skills and expand their toolkit."

We are never too experienced to learn new things.What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.

One on one Dog Trainning

We train using your dogs natural instincts no harsh methods. We do not use pinch collars, electric collars. You use a normal collar or harness whatever you prefer.

We get you to put together a wish and winge list of all the behaviours you would like to work on and we go through them on the day.

The lesson normally runs around 2 hours and you are given exercises to do with your dog. The more you do these excersises the better the training works.

A 1 on 1 dog training lesson is for dogs over 5 months to any age. We suggest puppy classes for younger dogs, this is a great time for your dog to get to know your vet clinic.

Some of the behaviours we work with are

Pulling on the lead - Barking - aggression - jumping up - biting/mouthing - reactive, answering the door.

I explain why I don't use treat training for behaviour but sometimes do for tricks.

Why you should Not make your dog sit before crossing the road.

Why mat or crate training is important.

When is it ok for my dog to bark?

and any other behaviour questions you might have.

*** You've been absolutely amazing with retraining us and our dog. Our Molly is so much more relaxed and it's great that we can let her of the lead knowing that she will come when called. I do hope that you have a lovely break and time for yourself. Hope you are able to set up another pet lodge business as your such an asset. Thankyou.

*** Maree that was more than I expected thank you so very much, you don't know what you don't know and you made it all very easy to understand. When con I come to your next event?

*** I have been a dog handler for over 10 years, I loved watching Maree and the different handling skills I learnt I will use daily I'm sure.

***Only 3 days of using your methods and I see a huge difference in my dog already, less stressed and a lot more calm. Thank you

Both booked out events were a huge success and the comments form everyone were the same "when is the next one put my name down" So much fun and I learnt so much.

***Did you put magic dust on my dog, he is so calm.

***I never thought I would learn so much

*****It definitely is a lot of work but so worth it to see the improvements. So many helpful tricks we learnt from you. also I completely changed his diet and he’s lost 3kg. I got the vet to check the ears because of what you found so thank for that, he’s very happy

***My dog has never been so quiet and relaxed around anything!
