I recently adopted a Belgian Shepherd who has developed some lead reactivity and towards other dogs and would bark at them uncontrollably. A friend recommended Belinda from Pawfectionist and she... read more drove all the way to our place for an in home consult. Within the 2 hours, Belinda explained why our girl was behaving in certain ways and taught us the difference between our perception and their perception, and how a lot of her behaviours were driven by fear. She taught us training techniques that were easy to pick up and super effective for our pup, and when we went for a walk together, Belinda showed us practically how to do a correction and the importance of timing in both rewarding and correcting behaviours. I’m very pleased to discover that after the consult, and within a mere few days, our Shepherd no longer pulls and I feel confident to go for walks now. Of course, the lead reactivity is still an ongoing issue, but before meeting Belinda, I’d avoid going for walks and would be stressed every time we see another dog on the road. Now, after one single consult with The Pawfectionist, I am no longer anxious when I walk my girl, and actually get excited when I see another dog (as we can practise and get better!) Highly recommend Belinda as a dog trainer (or dog owner trainer as I see it) who is very patient and great at explaining things. So so glad we’ve found her for our dog. PS: the treats at the shop in Greensborough are absolutely amazing and my dog loves them!

Very knowledgeable highly recommend

Belinda is amazing! I used her as a dog chaperone for my wedding last week, she came and picked Reya up from our accommodation and took her to the venue... read more (and tidied her up as she decided to play in mud just before being picked up), she helped manage her during the ceremony so as she remained calm and quiet and then handled her while waiting for Reya to be needed for photos. When Reya was no longer needed at the venue Belinda took her back to the accommodation for us. Using The Pawfectionist made our day so much more relaxing and was so important for us to have Reya there on our big day. I love The Pawfectionist!

When we made the decision that we could not have our wedding without our naughty dogs, we had to have the best in town trainers to assist on the day!... read more We were so lucky to have been referred to Belinda and Andrew who did a marvelous job in looking after our dogs, transporting them to the venue and keeping them calm during the wedding. They are such absolute legends too- they went above and beyond when a freak storm hit during the wedding and quickly escorted the dogs to safety. Not to mention, assist our guests with umbrellas. True professionals, trustworthy, reliable and all round awesome people. Thank you Belinda and Andrew - our dogs were in the best hands xx
