  Rita has been great for our dog Storm. We first had her out to help us with his reactions to other dogs when on a walk. She gave us the strategies to use. Rita also comes out and does training walks with Storm weekly- her communication is great and she provides so much love and support to our dog. Couldn’t be happier

  Rita has been amazing with my puppy, Kezo! We initially started with regular house visits, where Rita would come home and work with Kezo. This was super convenient and made a huge difference in his behaviour at home, as the training was completely tailored to his needs and daily environment. We started noticing Kezo becoming more disciplined and well-behaved with every session. Later, we moved on to training sessions that involved me as well. Rita guided me through on how to train Kezo myself and helped me become a better pet parent. Whether it was loose leash walking, door manners, crate training or potty training — her teaching style made everything so simple and easy to follow. She really makes understanding puppy behaviour feel manageable. Rita is friendly, easy to work with, and clearly knows her stuff. Kezo has come such a long way thanks to her training sessions. Highly recommend Rita if you’re looking for an experienced, down-to-earth trainer who offers the best pet training sessions that really work!

  Rita is the best thing that ever happened to my dog. For years my reactive dog has trusted no-one until Rita came along in the short period of time she’s worked with my dog I’ve seen major difference in her behaviour, commands & walking and it’s all thanks to Rita :). Rita goes out of her way to send me updates, recommendations & even photos during and after the walks There’s no one else I would trust with my dog ⭐️

  Rita has been an amazing trainer, walker and carer for my border collie Ralph, she started off training him 2 weeks after we got him and we could see the results immediately and her walks with him have worked wonders for him to stop pulling on walks, she also recently looked after him for 2 weeks while i was overseas and she took wonderful care of him and made me feel very comfortable with daily updates and videos of my dog, I recommend her to anyone

  Rita has been training and walking Jett for a while now. He is much more behaved and settled since having his trainer time. Thanks Rita!

Frequently asked questions

• Are you an insured business and do you guarantee your work?

  Fully Insured. We believe in creating real, lasting changes through a balanced and personalized approach. We’ll provide you with expert guidance, strategies, and tools to help your dog succeed, but each dog’s progress depends on several factors, including consistency and commitment from their owners. While we can’t guarantee specific results, we can assure you of our commitment to delivering high-quality, personalized training that will give you and your dog the best chance at achieving your goals.

• How did you decide to get into your line of work?

  My passion for animals led me to a career as a vet nurse, where I've been working for over seven years. Being a vet nurse gave me invaluable experience with animal behavior, health, and care, which deepened my interest in helping dogs on a more personal level. I also spent time as a dog walker, which allowed me to interact with different dogs and understand their unique personalities. Combining these experiences inspired me to start K9 STEPS, where I can focus on training and behavior to help dogs and their owners build stronger, happier relationships.
