Background

His expertise extends beyond big cats, having worked in Canada with bears, wolves, and cougars. After leaving the zoo world, he founded Wolf Within Dog Training, applying his deep understanding of animal behaviour, operant conditioning, and training science. In just five years, Wolf Within has become one of Queensland’s top-rated dog training companies, renowned for helping owners build stronger, more harmonious relationships with their beloved pets.
Why I Use SportDOG Brand
I use SportDOG products because they are robust and get results. I’ve tried other brands of that haven’t worked. I’ve never had a SportDOG collar that didn’t work to fix a clients issue. They very rarely have issues but if they do the team are friendly and easy to deal with and will send out a replacement.
Favourite Products
The SportDOG 425x remote trainer. It’s the perfect collar for pet dog training. I love that you can have 3 dogs on the same remote. I use mine with my dogs if we are camping around kangaroos so they can have the freedom to explore but I can also keep them safe. I use them everyday with my clients and have helped thousands of dogs and their owners to teach everything from prefect off lead recall, snake and cane toad avoidance to stopping dog reactivity and everything in between! I love that the remote is small discrete and easy to use.
