Hi, I'm Jade.
I'm a puppy training and dog behaviour specialist based on Sydney's North Shore, with over 15 years of experience and a degree in Animal & Veterinary Bioscience. My passion is early puppy development — helping owners build the right foundations from day one, so behaviour problems never get the chance to develop.
I also work with dogs experiencing reactivity, anxiety, and aggression, using positive, science-based methods to create real, lasting change. I work just as much with you as I do with your dog — because supported, confident owners raise confident dogs. I'm also currently completing my Clinical Canine Behaviourist qualification.
The North Paw way
Kind, curious &
evidence-based.
Positive reinforcement builds trust and lasting results. We work on emotions and behavioural health to create real, meaningful change.
Every dog is an individual. Jade takes the time to understand your dog's unique personality, celebrating every win along the way.
You are just as much a part of the process as your dog. Jade coaches and supports the humans too — consistency at home is where real, lasting change happens.
Training happens in your home, local parks, and streets — wherever real life actually takes place.
What clients are saying
Dogs and their people,
transformed.
"We've been seeing Jade for a year after getting our puppy Cheese. Her routines and guidance have been the backbone of Cheese's success so far, especially on settling in the house, night time routines, recall and chewing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for guidance with their dog!"
"Had an amazing consult with Jade for my female rottie pup!! She understood her howling behaviour towards strangers in the home immediately and was so in tune with giving my girl space to decompress her nervous system. She put me on the right path with day-to-day routine. Looking very excited to work more with her as my rottie grows up!!"
"North Paw has been a really terrific experience for my family and our new dog Skye. Jade helped us tremendously with settling her in and then training and overall advice. Through the course of our sessions, Jade's empathy, communication, insight and tutelage made such a positive difference in helping my family as first time dog owners. We highly recommend Jade as a dog trainer and expert who can really help you and your dog."
"Her gentle, non-judgemental and knowledgeable approach is exactly what we needed for our anxious pup. The advice was comprehensive and practical. We have already noticed a huge improvement!"
"Jade is our dog training hero! One session with our lead lunatic dog Jasper and she had him walking calmly. Her guidance, insight & passion for dogs and their families was remarkable."
"Her advice is clear and easy to follow, and we now understand our dog much better. We saw big improvement quickly as well as being set up for the long term!"
"We have used many dog trainers for our nervous dog and Jade is by far the best. Her calm and gentle approach is exactly what our pup needed — and it's far more effective than other techniques."
"Tilly was dog reactive and would bark all the time at other dogs. After training, Tilly's reactivity has improved so much — no more barking at dogs across the street! I would recommend Jade to anyone."
"We are so grateful for Jade's experience, wisdom and kindness in helping us manage challenging behaviours. Cannot thank her enough for her time and support. Highly highly recommend!"
