About

I'm Betty, I am the founder of Speak Dog and my connection with dogs is more than a profession; it's a profound bond with our cherished four-legged companions.

Having completed the Delta Institute Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training, and the L.E.G.S.® Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation® Professional Course with Kim Brophey, I've gained extensive insights over six years.
Delta Institute positive trainer

My greatest mentor has been Betson—a source of joy, a silent confidant, and a reflection of the intricate emotions that make dogs unique. His nuanced communication has taught me to listen with both ears and eyes.

Understanding the "Why" behind our dogs' actions has led me to prioritise building relationships based on trust and connection, where 'obedience' takes a back seat to impart essential life skills.

Betson faced his challenges, navigating reactivity and separation distress, which heightened my sensitivity to the emotional landscapes of our beloved companions. It's not just about training; it's about offering a steady hand, a compassionate heart, and a deep understanding of their world.

I get it, dealing with your furry friend's challenges can be tough. But, you're not alone on this journey. Let's team up with the dog training in Sydney’s to overcome these hurdles and create a cozy space of trust, joy, and understanding. Through dog training programs, I'm here to help ease the worries, guilt, frustration, and embarrassment that often come with sorting out our dogs' behaviour.

Learn to Understand the Canine Conversation

Our philosophy is built on the belief that having the right dialogue with your dog is the key to a harmonious coexistence. I delve into the "WHY" behind their actions and the "HOW" of their learning process and take time to properly decipher the invaluable messages our dogs convey. 

Our aim is to equip your dog with the essential life skills and manners they need to navigate the human world, all while fulfilling their unique emotional, physical, and mental requirements.

Experience the Benefits of Positive Reinforcement

At Speak Dog, I'm committed to using positive reinforcement ethics and science-based methods to strengthen the relationship between dogs and their owners and foster good behaviour. I believe that nurturing your dog's obedience and confidence through these ethical and evidence-backed techniques is the key to transforming them into a happy, well-adjusted companion.

Build a Fulfilling Partnership With Your Dog

Picture the happiness that comes from sharing your life with a dog who's not just well-behaved but also deeply connected with you. This isn't just a far-off dream; it's an attainable reality. Our dog training programs are thoughtfully crafted to not only transform your four-legged companion and build their courage but also to forge a stronger bond between the both of you.

‘Unleash Confidence’

$760

If you decide to continue working with me, you can add on a package. It can be stressful, frustrating and even embarrassing if your dog is reactive on a leash.

At Speak Dog, we understand that this isn’t what either of you signed up for, and we’re here to help you make a change for the better.

Through this package, we are able to use our years of experience to help your reactive dog get the training they need. I will be with you every step of the way as you and your dog work towards making any outing together a real walk in the park.

We can provide you and your dog with the training and direction you require to solve a number of leash reactivity issues, including:

  • Lunging, spinning, or jumping

  • Excessive barking, whining, and/or growling

  • Raised hackles and other negative body language

  • Extreme pulling on the leash

  • Unpredictable or skittish behaviour

  • Inappropriate leash behavior

  • Getting unreasonably distracted by other people or animals in the area

Her personalized approach and dog training techniques made training enjoyable whilst instilling a sense of comfort as Betty was able to connect with myself and coco on a deeper level showing us she truly knew what we needed. She has instilled a sense of confidence in me as a pet owner and the skills gained will have a lasting impact on my dog’s behaviour. Thank you do much Betty !!!"

"I can highly recommend Betty if you are looking for a great dog training experience.
From the moment we started our Mastering Manners course we knew we were in good hands. Her passion for dogs and dedication to helping them reach their full potential is truly inspiring.

During our training sessions, Betty was engaging, encouraging, patient, knowledgeable, and tailored the program to fit each dog's individual needs. Betty’s positive reinforcement techniques were effective and made training enjoyable for both owners and dogs.

Not only did my Reggie make significant progress in his behavior, but we also learned valuable skills that have improved our bond and communication. I am so grateful for everything Betty has done for us and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate dog trainer."
