About Berni Black, RVN

Most dog training focuses on what a dog does, my approach focuses on how a dog feels. As a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN), I've spent my career understanding the vital link between a dog's physical health and their behavioural wellbeing. 

With over two decades of experience in veterinary practice, I've seen firsthand how stress, pain, and medical history impact a dog's ability to learn. Whether I'm nursing a patient in the clinic or working with a puppy in your living room, my priority is always a 'whole-pet' approach. Qaulified with PACT as a Canine Training Instructor and registered with the ABTC for industry regulation.  You aren't just getting a trainer, you're getting a professional who understands the science behind the behaviour.

I don't believe in 'one-size-fits-all' training or rigid six week schedules. Every dog is an individual and every owner has different goals. My 1-2-1 sessions are built entirely around what you want to achieve - whether that's a stress free walk, a calm greeting at the front door, or simply a better bond with your best friend.

When I'm not in my scrubs or out on the training field, I'm at home with my own dogs Styx, Luna, and Rhea. I know the challenges of modern dog ownership and I'm here to make it easier, safer, and more fun for all of you.
