Rebecca Harsell
Dog Trainer
Work with Rebecca!
Rebecca is a dedicated dog trainer and behaviour consultant with over 15 years of experience working with dogs. She is passionate about helping dogs and their people build better communication, greater confidence, and a relationship rooted in trust and understanding.
Since 2011 she has developed an extensive background in pet care, including dog walking, pet sitting, fostering, daycare and boarding, and working specifically with anxious, reactive, and sensitive dogs. After years of hands-on learning alongside the dogs in her care, she earned her professional certification in 2021 and transitioned into training and behaviour consulting.
Rebecca has a particular passion for supporting dogs struggling with anxiety and reactivity, as well as resource guarding family dynamics. Her approach is grounded in positive reinforcement, low-stress training, and meeting dogs where they’re at — helping them feel safe, understood, and confident while giving their people the tools to support them.
Whether you’re navigating a big behaviour challenge or simply looking to better understand your dog, Rebecca believes that clear communication, mutual trust, and a little patience can go a long way.
