Welcome!
You're in the right place.
Muttley Crew Dog Training was created just for YOU!
We help you understand WHY your dog behaves the way they do so that we can put a solution in place. Put the FUN back into your relationship and begin to enjoy your dog again.
Having a dog can be a truly wonderful thing.
Trips to the beach, picnics in the park, lovely long hikes and lots of group dog walks followed by cosy cuddles on the sofa!
Life can be AMAZING.
Except things might look very different if you have a dog that struggles.
Trips to the beach might be too much, picnics in the park are a distant dream, hikes seem impossible and you dog is reactive so no other doggy friends or human friends because your dog hates visitors.
Life can be HARD.
The good news is it doesn't have to be this way.
I'm Chrissy.
I am a dog trainer and behaviour consultant with a lot of experience in helping dogs with challenging behaviour struggles.
I'm super passionate about the geeky side of behaviour science. I love learning about why dogs do the crazy things they do and what drives the behaviour.
I trained as a dog trainer because I had a dog that developed some really challenging behaviour struggles. Walks were so stressful I didn't enjoy them at all, and became embarrassed of her and her outbursts.
I'd looked around for some classes to attend, but there wasn't anything local that really addressed my girl's rather specific behaviour issue, so I decided to do a lot of research and try to help her myself.
Thats when I discovered just how vast and conflicting information is online. It was truly overwhelming. And a lot of the advice didn't align with my ethics. I didn't want to punish my dog, or yank on the lead, or shake noisy things to scare her. Ther HAD to be a better way!
Thats when I stumbled upon a trainer in the US that used play to grow skills in her dogs. This was it! This was just whatI needed.
A few years later and I'm not only a trainer and behaviour consultant, but also a reactivity and separation anxiety specialist.
So many different things can contribute to a change in behaviour. In order to understand the dog, we need to understand the environment, conditions and reason.
Dog behaviour science is evolving and the more we understand our canine companions the better we are able to communicate with them.
We take the science and complex behaviour studies and turn that information into strategies and exercises that can be understood and applied in a way thats empowering for both you and your dog.
