Learn more about your dog’s new best mate
Jackson Shapiera, KPA-CTP
Owner, Dog Trainer, & Your Dog's Best Mate
Since 2016, I’ve been helping Sydney dogs and their people live better lives together with engaging group walks and private training solutions.
As a lifelong dog lover, I started my journey in animal care by volunteering for the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, where I had the opportunity to foster dogs and provide critical socialisation for new puppies. While pursuing a career in downhill skateboarding, I sought a dog walking job, and that’s when I became hooked on animal behaviour and training.
After working for and learning from some of Sydney’s leading walking companies, I’ve taken it upon myself to seek out a world-class education in dog behaviour and training, becoming a graduate of the world-renowned Karen Pryor Academy.
With a strong eye for detail and having years experience managing dogs while in public, I’m able to help Sydney dog owners develop special bonds with their dogs through effective (& positive!) communication & training.
When I’m not helping Northern Beaches dogs and their people, you can find me downhill skateboarding or surfing on the weekends, or out having fun with my dog, Honey.
My approach to training & walking
As a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, I employ the use of force-free, science-based methods in both group outings and private training sessions. By giving dogs the proper information & skills to thrive in their environment, I believe the key to a thriving dog-owner duo is clear communication & an understanding of how dogs perceive.
Behind the name “Dogs On Cue”
When a behaviour is fluent, or performed with ease, it is reliably “on cue”
My goal is to help Sydney dog owners develop fluency with their dogs, leading to a happy, healthy, and special bond with your dog.
