Hi! I’m Nicola and I’ve been involved in dog sports for over 8 years, initially agility and now flyball and noseworks.

My love of everything dogs has lead me to dog training courses through Absolute Dogs in the UK which I initially joined to help my nervous Australian Cattle dog, Pippa and I now have a Pro-Dog trainers certificate through them.

Over the years I have had to rehab two of my dogs, one after cancer treatment and the other from an ongoing hock issue which has resulted in arthritis. It’s through my personal experiences I have discovered a passion for enhancing the quality of our dogs lives, and I’ve taken a special interest in understanding arthritis and the effective management of it.

I am a certified Canine Hydrotherapist, which I completed through Michelle Monk’s Canine Health & Wellbeing Academy in Melbourne. I have also obtained my Cam Advocate Level 1 Certificate with Canine Arthritis Management UK and had hands on experience at Rebound Pet Rehab in Brisbane. To further enhance my skills I am currently studying Canine Therapeutic Handling Techniques with K9HS in the UK.

My goal is to allow as many dogs as possible to live their best lives, whether they are competing in dog sports or simply a loveable family pet.
