FOUNDER & HEAD DOG TRAINER

Janelle has worked in the canine industry for 10+ years, which has included her pet care business, volunteering at shelters, studying, working in veterinary clinics and managing dog day cares.

YDD was born out of Janelle’s love and passion for dogs, with her aim in life to educate dog owners on how to provide the best care for their dog, and help people better communicate and create a special bond with their best friend. Janelle continues to study many aspects of animal behaviour, health, and wellbeing to ensure she is equipped with the best information to pass onto her clients.

BUSINESS MANAGER

Jack predominately works behind the scenes of YDD managing accounts, social media and marketing. Jack holds a strong love for all animals since growing up on a farm where his family bred stud Jack Russell’s and Welsh Ponies.

You may see Jack out and about on dog walks or filming training sessions for content on social media. Jack has also completed his Pet First Aid, therefore, coupled with his profound experience raising animals, you can be rest assured Jack is well equipped to look after your pooch.

RESIDENT DOG IN-TRAINING

Chica is the resident pooch at YDD. She is currently in-training and will soon be a key pillar in the day to day business to help with socialisation and reactive dogs in our behavioural consults. For now, Chica will feature in our group adventures keeping all the dogs on their toes and also helping us assess the suitability of dogs who wish to join our groups.

Outside of her day job, Chica has lots of hobbies! Some of her favourite include going to the beach, running in the bush, camping, visiting cafes and meeting every dog she sees along the way. On a more serious note, Chica is into scent work, learning new tricks and is constantly working on her obedience (which is a work in progress).
