Understanding your Dog?
At My Dogs Behave,
I offer compassionate and practical support to dog owners who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
As a dog behaviourist and trainer based in Sydney, I use positive training methods that are tailored to your dog’s needs —
not one-size-fits-all.
Whether you're dealing with reactivity, pulling on the lead, barking, or anxiety, I’ll work alongside you to bring calm, focus, and better communication into your life with your dog.
Training sessions are designed to create real changes that last — in your home and in the real world.
Does your dog listen perfectly at home
but seem to tune you out the moment you step outside?
You’re definitely not alone, and I promise your dog isn’t being stubborn or “broken.”
Often, it’s just a matter of finding the right way to connect —
because sometimes, we unintentionally
speak different “dog languages.”
I’m here to help you bridge that gap, so your dog learns to focus and respond naturally,
even in distracting or stressful situations.
Whether it’s leash pulling, reactivity, or staying calm in public,
I’ll be by your side every step of the way with gentle, effective guidance.
"I believe every dog deserves a chance,
and true training is about building trust,
not just obedience"
Elena from
My Dogs Behave
Hi, I'm Elena — a dog trainer, behaviourist, and the founder of
My Dogs Behave in Sydney.
Originally from Italy, I’ve always felt a deep connection with animals, especially dogs.
Over the years, that passion led me down a path of learning, practice, and transformation — not just for the dogs I’ve worked with, but for their owners too.
I’ve trained under Steve Courtney at K9 PRO, one of Australia’s most respected dog behaviour experts, and I hold a Certificate in Dog Psychology, Behaviour and Training.
I've also completed advanced online courses to stay current with the latest in canine behaviour science and positive dog training methods.
But beyond the titles and certificates, what truly drives me is my belief that no dog is beyond help.
I’ve seen it again and again — the moment a dog and their human finally understand each other, everything changes.
My job is to guide you to that moment with patience, clarity, and real-world tools that work.
Whether you’re struggling with dog behaviour problems like reactivity, pulling on the leash, or simply want a calmer, more focused companion, I’m here to help you build a better life with your dog.
If you’re looking for private dog training in Sydney or seeking expert guidance in dog behaviour modification, I can provide the tools and knowledge needed to make real progress.
Grazie mille for trusting me to be part of your journey. I know how much your dog means to you — and I’m honoured to walk alongside you both.
