About Melinda

Hello, dogs are my world and my greatest love.

I work as a government detection (sniffer) dog trainer and handler for two days a week and the rest of the time I work from my office at home. This is why I'm keen to open my house to dogs who require day sitting.

My own working dogs can go and stay with my father in law for these days as he loves having them and we conveniently live in the same street. My house backs onto a quiet park and I have my own gate access so I can walk and exercise dogs easily, even work on some fun and positive long lead recall with your dogs which is always the hardest thing for us all to train.

I can also give advice on puppy rearing and management, training and behavioural issues and separation anxiety. I'm also dog first aid and CPR trained.

I have the equipment to provide rest and space for dogs during the day.
