Skill Up My Pup
(5)
(5)
The method I am following is unique and there is only a handful of people in Australia who are qualified to teach it. It is based on the latest research in neuroscience, it utilises play and muscle memory, it simulates real life experiences without putting the dog in front of their triggers before they are ready to cope with them and it employs the best learning strategies to ensure maximum efficiency in real life situations.

The first thing you notice about Zoey, is how much she truly loves and respects dogs. It has been a joy to work with her. Flexible, informative and always willing to help by going the extra mile . We have worked hard following her advice, and as a result have seen a huge change in our dog. He is back to the loving, happy dog we knew. We can’t thank Zoey enough! More...

Zey is a wonderful trainer with a real passion for helping her clients (and their dogs). She is very thorough, excellent in following up and has a genuine interest in ensuring that real progress is made. It is clear she loves her job and cares deeply about the pets she trains. Highly recommend without hesitation. More...

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional training provided by Zoe from Skill Up My Pup. From the moment she started training our beloved furry friend, we've witnessed an incredible transformation in our dog's behaviour.
Our pup struggles with reactivity, especially when faced with situations that trigger him. It was distressing to see him feeling overwhelmed and reacting impulsively. However, thanks to Zoe's expertise and guidance, our dog is now making conscious choices to disengage from stressors and move away from situations that once caused him distress. She took the time to understand our dog's unique needs and tailored the training accordingly. Our dog has gained confidence and learned invaluable skills through her training. Thanks to her help, our puppy lives his best life, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Zey is amazing! You can truly tell how much she knows and cares about dogs. She has been helping us a great deal and was always happy to assist when anything was difficult or unclear. Her love for dogs is truly beautiful and her training methods only involve positive reinforcement and play. Couln't recommen her any higher! More...
What do you love most about your job?
Helping dogs and dog parents navigate behavioral struggles and making sure dog parents know they’re not alone in this journey.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own dog’s trauma led me to retrain. All my qualifications can be found in my links.
Why should our clients choose you?
As a qualified dog trainer, behavior consultant (PPGA member), I specialize in aggression, trauma response, anxiety and reactivity, and mainly work with working dogs, staffies and herding breeds.
I follow a unique training method to build skills instead of individual behaviors. These skills include disengagement, Optimism, proximity, self control, confidence, focus, flexibility (of the brain), independence, calmness and more. These skills have a major role in the behaviors we would like them to have a happy and social life.
Whether it is to set your puppy up for success or to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for your dog’s behaviour struggles, I am here to help :)
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, online or remote training is a major part of my business. I have been teaching dog behaviour online for years now and getting brilliant results and feedback.
