About Ching
Locations: Algester Southside, Geebung, Murrumba downs and Burpengary
Growing up Ching has always loved animals and especially dogs. In her childhood, her parents delegated the dog training to her older sister as she was “too young”, so what did she do? Train the cat instead of course! Her cat could sit, hi five and shake with each paw, scratch the post and jump on objects when cued.
She took a slight detour into a career of music teaching and developed great communication and teaching skills which are highly transferrable to dog training and coaching. Ching enjoys creating a fun and exciting learning environment where students are able to develop their understanding and become a team with their canine companion.
In 2019, Ching adopted her two beautiful greyhounds, Bert and Ernie, and started on the journey to proving to the world that greyhounds can do cool stuff too!
Since becoming a dog trainer, Ching has worked in greyhound specialty classes, doggy day care, behaviour modification and now nosework. She is currently a ANWI through NACSW soon to be CNWI She actively participates in seminars and training whenever the opportunities arises and likes to Get Nerdy!

About Sam
Locations: Algester & Geebung
My animal training journey began after completing a Bachelor of Science (Zoology) and being hired at Australia Zoo working with everything from dingoes to birds of prey.
I have been working as a professional dog trainer for about 6 years focusing on behaviour modification and obedience. I started nose work in 2022 as an outlet for my high drive Toller, Nova.
Since then we’ve fallen in love with the sport and spend every free second training and competing. I can’t wait to share this love with other dog owners and watch their nosework journeys unfold.
