MEET ALISON – FOUNDER OF DOGNOSIS
Dognosis was founded from a deeply personal journey that began with Rua (left), an anxious kelpie whose behavioural challenges were so severe that euthanasia was the only option presented by professionals at the time.
Refusing to accept that outcome, I immersed myself in studying canine psychology and behaviour, determined to help her thrive. Through years of study, trial and unwavering commitment, Rua not only overcame her anxiety but lived a full and joyful life until the age of 16.
Nearly a decade later, Dognosis has grown into a respected and successful dog training practice. My passion for dogs is matched by a profound understanding of their emotional and behavioural needs, shaped by real-world experience and continuous learning.
