Hey, I’m Mel!

I am the owner of The Good Dog - Newcastle.

My passion for dog training and behaviour modification started when I owned a dog that became anxious and reactive. Helping him and understanding why sparked my dedication for wanting to help other people.

Behavioural modification for dogs and owners who are struggling with reactivity is one of my specialties. I will teach you how to understand what is happening with your dog and how to read the signs.

My focus is to teach you how to build a relationship with your dog in a positive way. This can start at any point, whether you have just bought a new puppy, introduced a rescue dog into your home and for dogs at any stage of their life.

That’s why I offer a wide range of services across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounds to help dogs and their owners live happily together.
