Testimonials
“Brett was fantastic. My three dogs had slowly increased their naughty behaviour and its control over the household and the adults in it. Brett bonded immediately with all three and they immediately all knew who the alpha was (the trainer – not us). He explained simply, but in detail, how actions and follow through/consistency is the bread and butter of healthy pup relationships. We put a few simple steps in progress and after a few weeks we have a completely different atmosphere, and the dogs are much happier, as are the people. I honestly cannot thank Brett enough and I highly recommend his advice and services.”
★★★★★ Vivien – Cairns
We had an amazing experience with Brett. He provided clear, effective training methods and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and put into practice. The improvement we saw in our pup even during the session truly amazed us. It was incredible to see what our dog is capable of with the right guidance and techniques. We feel so much more confident moving forward and are so grateful for Brett’s support – ★★★★★ A. Adcock – Cairns

Brett Males
Brett has been surrounded by animals all his life, finding that he had a particularly close affinity with our canine companions. He always felt that there was much more to the human-canine connection than what just what lay on the surface. Believing there to be a deep underlying energetic connection between our two species, he felt it was possible to gain a deeper and more fulfilling relationship with our four legged friends.
