I have had the pleasure of working with Grant, a highly skilled assistance dog trainer and certifier, for the past 18-months. Grant has truly transformed my experience with my assistance dog, Pepper. His expertise in training techniques, particularly in loose lead walking, managing excessive barking when excited, and addressing reactivity to other dogs, has been invaluable.
Grant’s relaxed and patient approach significantly improved my confidence and Pepper’s behaviour. He takes the time to thoroughly explain each training method, ensuring that Pepper and I understand and can implement them effectively. Grant’s commitment to scheduling sessions and focusing on areas that need improvement has been incredibly supportive.
As someone who suffers from anxiety, I initially felt very uncomfortable dealing with questions about my assistance dog. Grant not only helped me understand the rights Pepper and I have but also strengthened the bond between us. His guidance made me feel empowered rather than overwhelmed, and his supportive nature built up my confidence when I felt like a failure at the start of our training journey.
Grant’s dedication goes beyond just training; he creates a supportive and understanding environment. His ability to balance professionalism with empathy is exceptional. Thanks to Grant, Pepper is now a fully certified assistance dog, and I feel more confident and capable in managing her training and needs.
I highly recommend Grant to anyone seeking an exceptional dog trainer. His knowledge, patience, and genuine care for both the dog and the owner make him stand out in his field. Thank you, Grant, for your incredible support and for helping Pepper and me achieve our goals.

Grant is very welcoming and knowledgeable in the field of assistance dog behavioural training and takes great pride and care in ensuring you get the most out of his self-trained assistance dog accreditation program where I myself-trained Donut to meet the required behavioural and health standards to enter Australian public areas.
From the initial meeting he guides you through the process to ensure success and compliance with the highest standards.
He assists with any challenges during the process giving one on one sessions called ‘train the trainer’ to assist you and your assistance dog to meet Australian assistance dog public access standards.
Post accreditation he has also been very communicative with me and my animal which is always greatly appreciated.

Grant has cared for our dog, Rocky, on a regular basis for the past 3 years. Rocky has enjoyed weekly walks, day care stay with Grant which is the highlight of Rocky’s week! When we travel Grant also takes Rocky for Airbnb which is also a big success and just so easy. Grant has a gift with dogs and we feel really fortunate to have him help us. Grant is friendly and reliable and flexible.
Highly recommend his services!

I am very lucky to have found Grant for my little loving spaniel Zachary.
Grant is the most loving, reliable and caring dog sitter. I have been using both his dog walking and overnight stays for the last 3 year, and I can honestly say dogs are his life !
I could not fault his care of my beautiful spaniel Zachary. Zach has major separation anxiety and I had struggled to find anyone else that would make him feel comfortable. Grant is very patient and would always go above and beyond to make sure Zach is always happy, comfortable and enjoying life while he is with him, faith and his now new family member Hero.
Easy to communicate with, would always send me regular updates and photos which made me at ease while I was away or at work. He would always be flexible and make everything stress free for myself if I ever needed a hand in looking after Zach.
I couldn’t think of anyone else to look after zach. Grant's home is now Zachs home away from home, Zach absolutely adores being around Grant Faith and Hero, we now call him Aunty Grant .

Clay has been a dog walking client 3 days a week since 2022
Grant has been an amazing dog walker for our Doberman/Great Dane mix, Clay, over the past two years. Clay can be a handful, but Grant is really good at keeping him calm and happy during their walks.
Grant understands what our big guy needs and has put in the time to build a strong bond with him. Grant's chill attitude helps Clay feel more relaxed and calm on their walks. We've been having Grant walk Clay three times a week for two years now, and the difference in Clay's overall happiness is unbelievable.
I absolutely recommend Grant to anyone searching for a top-notch, caring, and dependable dog walker. He is really good with reactive dogs, especially big breeds like our Doberman/Great Dane mix
