Wild Heart Dogs

Carri at Wild Heart Dogs has a genuine, calming nature that puts both dogs and humans at ease. She has a clear passion, with knowledge and understanding that extends beyond dog training to diet, health and well-being.We enlisted the help of Wild Heart Dogs shortly after adopting our then, 15 week old ‘Daisy’. As a rescue, we were unsure of her exact breed but guessing Bull Arab/Mastiff/Great Dane we knew she would eventually weigh 40-60 kilos. We wanted to ensure Daisy would be safe, well-mannered and well-behaved primarily with our 2 young children, but also when out and about. Daisy also had/has some anxiety and apprehension around various things which Carri has been able to advise on and assist us with.Carri is someone you can rely on for professional help and support. While I highly recommend Wild Heart Dogs, perhaps the best recommendation would come from Daisy – seeing her break into a full-body, uncontrollable wiggle when Carri arrives!

Carri is a very gentle caring lady, who is just amazing with her own dogs & any dog she meets,,, as a trainer, she is second to non... I met Carri, at an Agility Class & watched how she broke down every step into ''increments'' to train her dog, so it knew what was expected of it & how she wanted to work with her.My own dogs have always responded to Carri very enthusiastically.Carri was one of the very few people I could leave 3 deaf workings dogs with & know they were safe, loved & played with..I have learned many things from Carri & one that I put into practise regularly is how to put a very good recall on my dogs -- I have 6 dogs.. By putting into practise what Carri taught me, I have no problems taking multiple dogs to leash free beaches & knowing they will come to me the moment I call them & will stay with me, when people with dogs on leashes pass us & give a dog that needs space, the room to feel comfortable.I cannot tell you how good Carri happens to be,, that is something that people in the dog agility world & the Assistance dog world already know..If you want the BEST,,, then Carri at Wild Heart Dogs is the person to train with.

Carri is such a kind, caring and professional human. I reached out to her to undertake training with my 18 month old golden retriever, initially to help with guarding behavior. This was rectified almost immediately. It was unbelievable! Our training evolved into other areas where I realised we needed help. Our golden suffers from anxiety and we learnt so much in a short term about reading his body language and how we can help him. He also has suffered from severe gastrointestinal issues from a young age and very unlike a Golden, wasn't too interested in food! Carri helped guide us with diet and supplements to overcome this and he now has had no tummy upsets since we started working with Carri and he absolutely loves his food now! Her feedback and assistance has been wonderful. I would highly recommend Carri from Wild Heart Dogs to anyone. We will forever be grateful for all of her help!!!!

I completed a foundation program for my 6 year old staffy to work on mainly reactivity. Carri is extremely experienced, professional and knowledgeable. My staffy loved training with Carri, she made training easy and engaging for us. Throughout the program, Carri has helped me better understand dog body language, stresses/fears, recall, raw feeding, enrichment and so much more. I now have a stronger relationship with my dog and significantly improved the overall wellbeing, health and happiness of her. Thank you so much for everything you've done! It was such a pleasure to work with you.

When we added our beloved Charlie to our family, we wanted to ensure she has the best life that we can give her and for us to share an amazing bond together as human and dog. Therefore we reached out to Carri to help guide us in the right direction to achieving our goals.* trust * companionship * family memberCarri was amazing, we cannot thank her enough for teaching us about this new world and the needs of our fur baby.Her passion, love and care for dogs is like no other. Her approach was gentle, positive & effective.We highly recommend Carri for anything & everything that will assist you and your dog.Thank you so much.

Carri came recommended to me by a friend as I was having some troubles with my dog lunging and reacting to other dogs. Carri has been brilliant from the moment we made contact and had an initial phone consult where she learnt more about my situation. We locked in a date for Carri to come and meet Bronny to see what she can do yo help. Prior to the session I received a thorough questionnaire which really helped give Carri more info and allowed us to hit the ground running in our session.Carri was so kind and patient during our session. We went to places we would usually walk so we could do training on the go. From just a few hours, I was left with so much knowledge and skills for me to continue to train my dog. My confidence in managing the situations and connecting with my dog and understanding his needs has made our daily walks so much more enjoyable. He has already changed dramatically and we were even able to enjoy a coffee at a shop with multiple dogs around with no reactions (this would have been unheard of a month ago!!). Carri also helped in adjusting his food which as also seen an improvement in his skin, paws, coat and overall temperament. I am so grateful for Carri’s ongoing support and sharing of information and feel so grateful I found her and what a difference it has made to my relationship with my dog! Highly recommend and well worth the investment in both time and financially. Thank you Carri!!
