Welcome to Refreshing Paws Dog Training
I am still avaliable for calls/text and group classes but, I am on maternity leave

Got a 4-legged best friend that doesn’t really gel with others? More on the reactive side? I CAN HELP!! Got a dog that suffers separation anxiety? I CAN HELP! Maybe you're just looking to build on basic obedience and manners? I CAN HELP!
Hey, I’m Jess, the trainer at Refreshing Paws Dog Training!
I’m a seasoned professional dog trainer with over 10 years of dedicated experience in the field. My expertise extends to working with rescue groups and various dog training organizations, enriching my skill set. I have earned my certification through the National Dog Trainers Federation Australia (NDTF), showcasing my commitment to upholding industry standards and staying informed about the latest advancements in dog training. I also hold my canine first aid certificate.
My goal as a trainer is to make the training process as stress-free as possible and enjoyable. 🏡🐾
Got a reactive dog? Been there, conquered that. It's my passion, and the transformations are like fireworks. ✨
Separation anxiety? Let's tackle it together, one paw at a time.
Let's make your dog's training journey as epic as it deserves to be! 🌟🐕
I offer private 1 on 1 sessions as well as small group classes held at coromandel primary school.
Jess popped in twice daily with love, attention and care for our single cat while we needed to go out of town on short notice. Despite being shy to strangers, she'd won her over in no time. It was such peace of mind knowing (and seeing) Lily was being more than just kept clean and fed, but continuing a human connection. We came home to a veey relaxed content happy cat. The genuine care Jess has for animals and your pet is very clear to see. Happy to recommend Jess to anyone looking for a pop in visit.

Max graduated from Refreshing Paws dog training. I highly recommend this course. Jess provided great advice, great support and great training. She has an obvious love for dogs and enthusiasm for what she does. Max was excited every-time it was time for puppy school. He received a lovely bag of goodies and a certificate on graduation.
Do not hesitate to join up!

Jess gave us the tools we needed to help us with our very eager puppy (he's a Golden Retriever). She was very patient and helpful. We highly recommend her.

Rufus (5 month old bordoodle) and I had a great one on one session with Jess.
She has helped us learn to heel, stop running out of the gate and improved our pulling when we see a park and this was all in 1 session. Rufus and I were both exhausted post! I have also signed up the classes to help develop and reinforce the great things we have learnt in our session.
