About

Aiko's Glamour Shot

Woof Wonders is a small two-person venture that is dedicated to providing fun, enriching and positive experiences for all dogs.

We (Anj and Mish) are both qualified and passionate about dog behaviour, well-being and training.

Whether it’s group adventures rollicking down the creek, one-on-one walks around quiet streets, or helping you to problem solve behaviours we bring a sense of fun and approach each session with care and curiosity. We see each dog for the individuals that they are and tailor sessions accordingly.

Woof Wonder’s core value is to build trusting and rewarding relationships with each dog through positive experiences, empathy and science-based training methods.

We believe in the importance of forming a strong bond with each dog. This ensures that our sessions are highly rewarding and heaps of fun. It also ensures that your dog is cared for safely and compassionately.

They are family members after all.
