Description
The Driven Dog
Dog training and behaviour consulting for puppies and adult dogs, based in Pukekohe and working across South Auckland.
About
The Driven Dog is run by Davina, a Pukekohe-based dog trainer and behaviour consultant who grew up on farms in West Sussex and Jersey. She has held a certification in Animal Management, Canine Training and Behaviour since 2015 and has since completed IMDT-BC Level 4 in Canine Behaviour. Every programme starts with the individual dog: its age, temperament and history, and what the owner wants to achieve. She works with new puppy owners, from the 4 Week Puppy Course onwards, families wanting better everyday manners through day training, and owners dealing with reactivity or aggression.
