Finding a dog behaviourist or dog nutritionist is a lot like finding a human therapist - you need to be able to trust them, talk to them openly, and be honest about what's going on for you. 

For this reason, we encourage every new client to research multiple options to make sure they find the right professional for them. 

We have our very own Fantastic Four here at Holistic Pet Services, who are ready to help you at every stage of your journey with your dog. Read all about our team members below, and don't forget you can book in a free call with Alyssa if you want to learn more and see if we're the right fit for you.

Sarah Strachan

Animal Training Instructor (ABTC-ATI)

Hi, I'm Sarah - a qualified dog trainer and parent to a dog with very Big Feelings.

I specialise in helping people learn the best ways to communicate with their dogs, helping you to train in a way which builds trust, fosters confidence, and promotes wellbeing in all areas of their lives.

You'll work with me to help refine your training techniques and troubleshoot a range of skills, and I'm on hand to respond to your questions and give you remote support and feedback between sessions.

  • Luke Grayson - Training Assistant

    Luke is Alyssa's husband, and has been working alongside her since they met in 2021. He developed his skillset by supporting puppy and adolescent dog classes, working with his and Alyssa's dog (Dougal), and stooging for many reactive dogs. He now supports our Reactivity Classes, coaching owners through new skills and managing their dogs when out, with a particular knack for helping people to feel calm and relaxed when handling their dog's barky parties.

  • Gina Such - Business Support

    Gina first worked with Holistic Pet Services as a client with her border collie, Buzz, and enjoyed her time with the team so much she volunteered to help out running group classes and workshops. She now supports our team by managing our communication channels and helping out behind-the-scenes! She has a huge heart and is very welcoming to everyone, and she knows exactly what it's like to live with a reactive dog.
