Awhero Canine Academy

Enabling positive partnerships

Meet Lissie.

I believe in 'positive reinforcement' based training.

My focus is to get your dog to enjoy doing the 'right' things for you, by rewarding them when they take steps towards your goals.

I am an animal enthusiast, probably since I could sit up. I live with three medium size, crossbred dogs. I enjoy doing anything that involves dogs. Challenges I have faced give me a unique perspective.

One of the most important areas to me, is continuing education, I Have recently completed the 'advanced certificate in canine coaching' and I am now studying towards diplomas in dog behaviour and training, staying up to date with the latest training theories and knowledge is essential.

Competition isn't for everyone I find the challenge of working with my dogs at a competition invigorating. I have enjoyed a relative amount of success with a few very good canine friends, in most dog sports in NZ. My dogs and I have won a lot of awards and made a multitude of amazing memories, I am enjoying sharing the skills I have learnt over time.
