Hi, I'm Ally Piper

A fully Certified and Qualified Professional Dog Trainer and founder of Paws Plus Consulting.

Hi I’m Ally Piper a professional dog trainer in the Sutherland Shire, specialising in Puppy Preschool, puppy training, dog behaviour and reactivity, with over 30 years’ experience in the animal care industry and 26 years running Puppy Preschool.

I’m a Victoria Stilwell Academy Graduate, CPDT-KA Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Qualified Veterinary Nurse and Zones Approach Practitioner, having completed the Reactivity for Dog Training & Behaviour Professionals course.

Our training methods are based on positive reinforcement, reward-based and force-free training, approaches recommended by leading veterinary and animal behaviour organisations including the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) and British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA).

We believe training should build confidence, trust and communication never relying on fear, pain or intimidation.

Alongside Puppy Preschool, puppy training and private behaviour consultations, I also work with veterinary practices to develop, improve and streamline their Puppy Preschool programs, helping clinics build effective, professional programs for their puppy clients.

I work with puppies, adolescent and adult dogs, rescue dogs, therapy dogs and family pets across the Sutherland Shire and Greater Sydney, with Puppy Preschool and group classes based in Kirrawee at iPET Store.
