Gina Strydom
Dog Behaviourist and Trainer (In Training)
Gina is an up and coming dog behaviourist and trainer who has always had a passion for dogs since she was a young girl. She has been working with dogs since 2023 and has since been eager to learn and grow her knowledge and understanding of dogs and their unique minds. Through her experience of working with dogs, she has not only learned how to empathize with dogs that had been neglected, rescue dogs, physically disabled dogs and dogs that were reactive and anxious in new environments and around other dogs; but also how to empathize with owners and help them to have a better understanding of their dog and their behaviour.
Gina has developed a deep appreciation for the importance of gentle and patient care through her work with vulnerable dogs, including pregnant females and newborn puppies. She is committed to leveraging her skills and experience to provide compassionate, effective support to dogs and their families.

Why I’m Passionate About Working Within A Family Setting
​​I’ve seen firsthand the joy and connection that come from training a dog alongside their family. Family training sessions go beyond just teaching obedience, they strengthen the bond between humans and their dogs while also bringing families closer together. By learning and growing as a team, families can improve communication, encourage responsible pet ownership among children, and create lasting memories.
​
My goal in offering these sessions is to provide a fun, inclusive, and engaging environment where families can connect with their dogs and each other. By equipping families with the knowledge and skills needed to train their dogs, we can nurture a deeper and more meaningful bond between people and their pets.
​
I’m passionate about helping families create lasting memories with their dogs. If you’re looking for a unique and rewarding experience for your family, join me for our family training sessions, let’s embark on this journey together!
