Sharon has been a professional animal trainer for over 30 years; she has been both a presenter and trainer in a range of animal shows, and currently operates a dog training and behaviour consulting business based in Newcastle, Australia.
Intent on really understanding animals better, Sharon completed a Bachelor of Applied Science, a Graduate Diploma (Captive Vertebrate Management – wildlife and exotics) and a Master of Animal Science. Sharon is currently completing a PhD in Veterinary Pharmacology. Sharon is a fully certified behaviour consultant with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) in both dogs (CDBC) and horses (CHBC), and is a certified professional dog trainer - CPDT-KA. Sharon is also a faculty member of Fenzi Dog Sports Academy (USA). You can see what she has on offer by visiting Fenzi Here
Sharon guest lectures to post graduate veterinarians and behaviourists at several universities and organisations on the topics of animal behaviour, training, species-specific cognition, welfare, and psychological trauma in animals.
Nowadays Sharon’s core focus is working with dogs with significant behavioural issues (e.g. aggression, reactivity, sensitivity, psychopathologies), as well as helping people reach their training and competition goals with their sensitive and/or atypical dog.
In all cases, Sharon’s primary aim is to help the humans to understand the underlying cause for their dog’s behaviour, and to use both management and behaviour modifying training, to achieve a better outcome for both the dog and their human/s.
