Kylie Naylor is founder of Walkies Dog Service; her learned experience is from RSPCA, boarding faculties, and vet practices, assistance dog (As dog Australia) and welfare league organizations. Her qualified studies include Animal Attending, Vet Nursing and Cert 4 Delta Society Australia Instructor course and she attends regular seminars, positive training conferences always on the look out for improved positive training techniques.

Kylie is passionate about dogs most of all Enriching dogs environment and protecting dogs temperament…
Enrichment in the back yard prevents the dog from feeling like they are not in a jail cell.

Playgroups started when she was continually coming up against training situations where the owner and their dog could not find friendly/calm dogs to play with. Sending clients up to the dog park can be scary. Supplying the most suitable dogs for the correct temperament is crucial.

Cath Dombroski is one of Walkies dog service trainers, she teaches classes casually and runs the playgroups. Her qualified studies are Cert 4 Delta Society Australia Instructor course and she enjoys attending regular seminars and positive training conferences her Favourite discovery was Dr Ian Dunbar Seminars on socializing dogs 2009. She also runs her own successful dog training business Doggy Diploma’s in the Macarthur region.

Cath is passionate about making all dogs part of the family, her goal is to minimize the amount of surrenders the councils receive every year. ‘Teaching people how to have a dog in their home so it’s automatic that they are part of the family’

Cath’s positive, upbeat, attitude eases you into learning with your dog. This produces productive results and develops life – long trusting relationships.
