I’m Aubrey, a Certified Pet First Aid Instructor, and I work with pet professionals who want to feel properly prepared — not just hopeful that they’ll know what to do.

I’ve supported dog walkers, groomers, trainers, pet sitters and daycare teams to build practical, real-world skills they can rely on when it matters most. No fluff, no scare tactics... just clear, straightforward training that helps you stay calm and take action. Because this work is built on trust. And part of that trust is knowing you can handle the unexpected. If you’ve ever thought, “I should probably learn this properly,” this is your sign. 

​

My qualifications include an Associates Degree in Animal Agriculture (ASc), Certified Pet First Aid Instructor, and a Certificate in Education and Training.

I have previously ran my own successful reactive dog specialist walking business for 3 years, as well as previous work on farms, animal adoptions agent, and being a college/university lecturer.
