Our head trainer, Sandy, is a NDTF qualified and experienced trainer in both behaviour modification and obedience. She has attended various seminars and courses such as trick training, separation anxiety, reactivity, behaviour modification & nose works.
She has been hands on in the industry for close to 10 years but as a professional and a volunteer.
Her specialty is pet dog training and understands the importance of being able to live harmoniously with your dog. Her soft spot is rescue dogs.
She uses balanced methods and is very fair in her approach to helping each dog to reach their full potential. Sandy will assess each dog individually and design the training sessions to suit each dog and their personality traits, not every dog is the same and training should never be a one size fits all approach.
Sandy has experience with behaviours including, but not limited to:
Loose Leash Walking
Recall (getting your dog to return when called)
Confidence Building
Problem Barking
House Manners
Mouthing, Biting & Nipping
Reactivity to other dogs
Place Training (teaching your dog to go to a designated spot and to be calm)
Jumping
Toilet Training
Crate Training
Engagement
Separation Anxiety
Introducing your pet to a new family member (animal or human)
General obedience
Sandy also has many years experience in rescue both as a volunteer and founding her own Pawfect Pals Animal Rescue

Sandy’s in depth training program really helped us stay on track (and sane) while training our 10 year old dog and new puppy.
The techniques Sandy showed us dramatically improved the relationship between our dogs and made our home life enjoyable again.
I couldn’t recommend Symmetry Dog Training Services enough!
Sarah & Nash
Having purchased a working breed herding dog it was extremely important to me to get Nash's foundations right when it came to socialisation, interactions with dogs, interactions with people and our overall working relationship together.
Sandy was an integral part of Nash's foundation training. She taught us how to deal with reactivity, impulse control and how to just generally have fun together.
We will forever be grateful for all of her help in the early years which has led to some amazing accomplishments and results in just his first 3 years of life.
I cannot recommend Sandy enough if you own a herding breed dog! A+++

I
first met Sandy at puppy class with my Staffy x ACD. I then had 1:1
sessions with Sandy during lock downs. My boy wasn’t easy to train, Sandy
gave me the strategies and confidence to work with him and work through
his behavioural issues and get the best out of him. I have seen her in
public and her ability to read a dog behaviour from afar which speaks to
her wealth of knowledge and experience.
I highly recommend her and I
have never seen a dog that doesn’t love her.

Have
known and worked with Sandy for a number of years, and 100% recommend
her services.
Sandy’s approach is always well rounded and based in
common sense, whether it’s a new puppy starting on the right foot, a
rescue getting settled into a new home or a dog needing intensive
behaviour modification. Plus dogs just love her.
