our Herding Dogs need their own unique approach to their amazing abilities and brains! They each have their own unique traits and mannerisms, and therefore require their own unique and specialised training. That’s where we come in!
Whether it’s for Life Skills, General Manners or more complex behavioural issues, our trainers are focused on not only training your pet, but teaching you how to effectively communicate with them. This method of training is full of fun techniques that will give you and your pet a happier life together.

HAPPY CLIENTS
Katey is an excellent dog trainer and I would highly recommend her. She has taught us so many positive strategies to enable us to manage our bicycle obsessed dog Alfie.
Her level of knowledge, experience and training methods have helped Alfie enormously.
Her love of dogs shines through and Alfie loves her.
Wishing Katey all the best in Melbourne.
Thank you for all your help and guidance with Alfie, he can live his best life now.

Not enough words to describe how much our family love Katey at Herdy Nerdy.
She spent ages getting to know us and our dogs (two cheeky border collies) watched them in their own environment and helped set realistic goals. Provided a very thorough training plan and is always on hand for questions, support and celebration.
Our dogs both love her and the work she does, we love that it’s only positive re enforcement. We have seen an incredible improvement in our boy from our at home training and walk and train with Katey.

We would not be where we are today without the wonderful guidance, compassion, wisdom and support from Katey! She took the time to get to know us and our anxious Koolie girl, Eevee, and provided an individualised training program that helped us to better understand Eevee and her needs. Her knowledge of Herding breeds is amazing and this really helped our training get to the next step. Under Katey’s guidance, Eevee has learnt how to play more appropriately, relax and feel more confident in her environment The positive and fun approach was perfect for Eevee and she always loved her visits from Katey! We are grateful our paths crossed and would highly recommend Katey as a trainer, especially if you have a herding breed dog.
