“We had Aline come out to our home as both of our dogs had “significant issues” and we were on the brink of considering getting rid of them (we’ve spent $6k this year alone on training repairs)…. Aline was our “last hope”. Within 2.5HRS we had our “fear-based aggressive dog” walking off-leash in a public space. This was 3 days ago and the progress he has made has been phenomenal. He’s now the dog we always knew he could’ve been.

Aline taught us a lot and trained us, to be the leader and we are so beyond happy with the results! The two pups are so much more relaxed and we’re already doing things with both of them we didn’t think we could ever do! (Go for a stress-free walk.. walk off lead!!).

We are beyond happy with Aline’s service and I have already passed her details on to so many friends.”

“My newly adopted Golden Retriever was terrified of going for walks, getting in the car and even walking past parked cars. She would drop to the ground and freeze.

This was not the life I wanted for her, I wanted so much more.

Then along came Aline, what a godsend. Within 10 minutes of meeting Aline, Remy was walking comfortably on a lead and also getting in my car without freezing on the spot. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Aline gave me the skills and confidence I needed to help Remy with her confidence, which she was desperately lacking.

Straight away we implemented the changes Aline suggested and now go on long walks twice a day and getting in and out of the car is a breeze. The changes were amazing, immediate and lasting. Aline’s depth of understanding of dogs is most impressive. I cannot recommend Aline highly enough.”

“Walking has always been a problem with Buzz he was constantly pulling and both of us weren't enjoying walking together at all. After explaining my issues to Aline over the phone she told me she would have Buzz walking properly in 2 minutes! She came to the house and true to her word had Buzz walking calmly on the lead. She had me doing it within the hour with some adjustments to the way we went out the gate to travelling in the car and walking. Now I can comfortably go out with Buzz without him pulling and he and I are enjoying long walks together. We are so grateful Aline. I would not hesitate in recommending her. Thank you so much for helping us out.”

— Maureen and Buzz Cooke

“Aline is absolutely amazing! I have had two dogs previously, but my 5-month-old groodle Tilly is on another level! She is very smart and strong-willed. Aline was able to explain why Tilly behaves the way she does and what I need to do to help her. She really gets to know the dog and works out how/ why she thinks and acts in a particular way. I am very grateful that we have someone with so much knowledge and expertise living on the coast. I feel confident that if I follow Aline’s guidelines, I will be able to train Tilly to be the best she can be. It’s really all up to me now. Thanks a million, Aline.”

— Libby and Tilly Packer

“I cannot recommend Aline highly enough. We were so amazed at how quickly she was able to shift our relationship with our dog Koa. Koa is 6 months old and had been pulling me everywhere on the lead, running away from me on the beach, and not responding to my calls at all, he was also jumping on us and our house guests causing painful scratches. Within 15 minutes we had a new dog. Basically, we were not taking the leadership role and Aline taught us how to do that. We had been to 4 different dog schools and they were all teaching the same things - these things were not working for us.. but Aline changed our whole household, dog, human relationship. Thanks so much, Aline.. our life is less stressful.”

— Gena and Koa Kenny

“I have a Pomeranian that thinks he is a lion, 7 years of thinking this is just how he was, or how the breed was, far from what reality is - Aline really puts things into perspective so simply, so effortlessly, and it just makes SENSE!”

— Heidi and Neo Hamilton

“Rory was a puller & very excitable; a 2-hour session had him walking freely & quietly. Aline's approach is different to other advice we have had. A number of experienced people have tried to get Rory into one of our cars without success; Aline said she could do it & I was very doubtful. Within 10 minutes, she not only had him going in & out of the car, but had him happy to be there. This was followed by my leading him in & out & Pat doing the same. Aline has earned a five-star rating. People are harder than dogs for her to train, so maybe she can train the kinks out of us.”

— Trevor and Patricia and Rory Butler

“I was feeling frustrated and defeated by my dog's behaviour. I spent 2hrs with Aline and soon found out it was my behaviour that needed to be changed a couple of simple things that she asked me to do to make our walks more fun and enjoyable have changed so dramatically that now we can walk anywhere without any drama. I highly recommend Aline she is polite and straight to the point. Thank you so much.”

— Vanessa and Rocco Johns

“Murphy (ridgeback/collie x) is a rescue dog, we got 9 years ago (he was 1). From the time we got him, he has always been a stressed dog. Walking wasn't enjoyable, would go nuts when he saw the postman, crouching down to the hunting position when he saw a bush chook or any birds. I've had dogs my whole life and about 10 years ago (before we got Murphy) my dogs and I were attacked 3 times, on 3 different occasions, so it really rocked my confidence in walking dogs. Anyway, we tried 3 different dog trainers, 2 in one state and another when we moved to QLD. Murphy is nearly 10 years old and I said to my husband let's try one more and if it doesn't work, well he will be a stress head for the rest of his days. So I made contact with Aline (after doing a lot more research) and BOOM!!! After 2hrs of training, Murphy has turned the corner. Today was a brilliant walk, I actually dropped the lead and he walked right next to me, I couldn't believe it!! No reaction to the postie, chooks, bird, scooters, nothing!! Thank you, Aline, I'm beyond words, I'm so happy and so is my boy. You are a true gift, thank you!”

— Nat and Murphy White

“I can't believe that within a few minutes, Aline can change from a very excitable Labrador who pulls incessantly into a gentle walker and calm dog. I spent 3 hours with Aline and the way she describes everything makes so much sense. So today we went out for our first walk and I'm proud to say it was hugely successful. She is so giving and so clear in her communication. She also advises and recommends quite a bit so that you can give your dog a job because that's what they are meant to do. Lots of ideas and help and she's a sweetheart! She can change your life!”

— Lou and Ruby Harrison

“Aline was able to explain why Buddy was behaving the way he was and show me strategies that were immediately successful in getting Buddy to behave in appropriate ways. It all seemed so simple with Aline's help, with a little practice Buddy is calm, walks well on the lead, stays with me when off the lead and is respectful towards strangers and visitors. I would highly recommend Aline's services. Thanks very much, Aline.”

— Stephanie and Buddy Chadwick

“Had our first session with Aline today. Bevie and Dougie have been very reactive on lead and walks had become more stressful than enjoyable. I have spent a lot of $$ on training in the past but this is the first time that a trainer looked at both myself and my puppies. The first result has been amazing for all of us. After our session, I now feel so much more confident to take the lead with my 2. I’m really looking forward to continuing what I have learnt today. I could not be happier and would highly recommend Aline to anyone that needs help with their fur babies. Looking forward to sharing our progress. Thanks, Aline!”

— Sharon Godfrey

“Reggie and I had a very positive session with Aline. He’d been somewhat unpredictable towards large male dogs when we were out walking. I learned to read Reggie’s body language and relax my own body when we were approaching other dogs on our walk. This is working very well and I give the appropriate correction if necessary. We are using the light rope lead recommended and Reggie walks faster and responds quickly to corrections. I’ve used Aline’s ‘knock’ technique on his body to assert my position as pack leader to successfully stop him from barking at me to demand that I get out of bed 😊 or to generally obey me. Reggie also comes quickly on recall after I used Aline’s ‘tin’ technique. The best consequence of the session with Aline is that I feel that I know and trust my dog so much more and therefore absolutely enjoy our time together. Aline shares her knowledge of dogs in a calm and professional manner and I am so grateful for her input. I will definitely arrange a refresher session with her in the future.”

— Leanne and Reggie Tavener

“My dog just became instantly calmer and we learnt how to stop him from becoming over-excited, we also learnt how to become the leader. One of the things I really loved about Aline is that she didn't make me feel s*** for being a bad doggie parent there was no judgement just positivity and a Gold Mine of information. We are very grateful.”

— Helen and Charlie Price

“Aline did a great job showing me, my husband and Son practical techniques as our 2 puppies were running the show. Previously we had no control over them, it’s been less than 2 days and they are walking behind us, waiting before eating, and most importantly for us, calm inside the house and listening to our commands. I would highly recommend Aline. Thank you very much x”

— Caron Robinson

“I have a very boisterous 5 month Italian Greyhound called Harry. Every single walk was a challenge, with Harry pulling on the lead, jumping on passers-by and wanting to jump and play with every dog we passed. Instead of walking being calm & relaxing, it was a challenge, and extremely stressful for all of us.

We had a 2-hour training session with Aline yesterday, and it was remarkable. Aline had Harry walking calmly alongside us from the start. She informed us of what we were doing wrong when walking the dog and gave us easy instructions on how to change his boisterous behaviour whilst walking. It worked!

I went out straight away and bought a Google slip dog lead from the pet shop so that I could start walking Harry the next day, just as Aline had advised us. Our walk the next day was a dream!! It was like we were walking a totally different dog. We were more relaxed and calm, and Harry was calmly walking alongside us. No jumping, no rushing ahead of us, it was totally remarkable!

Thank you Aline for your professional and calming advice. Walking Harry is now an absolute delight! You truly are a gifted Dog Whisperer.”

— Cris and Harry the dog Badalati

“I would never have imagined that 2 hours of understanding dog language can change behaviour so quickly. While we are far from perfect, Paddy follows the lead and loves his newfound freedom. It’s also bought about some positive behaviour changes with barking and snarling at other dogs. I’m still feeling a little uncomfortable near people and dogs but I hope with practice this will improve. Such a great change in our relationship and a much happier puppy.”

— Tracey and Paddy Sheehan

“Yindi rescued me three years ago. Getting Aline to visit us nearly a month ago has been by far the best and most worthwhile investment we have made in our friendship. Aline is patient, honest and kind and Yindi responded to her immediately. Aline has been the conduit to enable Yindi and me to communicate and understand each other and live a more balanced, relaxed way of life. Our friends cannot believe that Yindi is the same dog. There has been a 180-degree positive change in Yindi’s demeanour and behaviour. As a result, she is a more chilled, calmer and happier girl. I still have much to learn about being the Pack Leader. But even in these early days of doing things differently, Yindi and I are already experiencing the benefits of having Aline visit us. Having Yindi in my life is a lifetime commitment of love for me, so after hearing about Aline from friends, it was a no-brainer for me to organize for Aline to visit us. Thanks so much, Aline. You have changed our lives for the better.”

— Ros and Yindi Strongman

“Aline showed me what to get Meg to come and stop jumping. Worked the 1st day! I’m now the leader of the pack. We are both happier! Thank you, Aline!”

— Jaya and Meg Jones

“Thank you so much for all your help in retraining not only my dogs but me as well. Your approach is very professional prompt and of great value. I will continue using all the techniques you have taught me. My beautiful girls are responding well which in turn makes for a more relaxing and fun time for all of us. I can highly recommend Aline’s services, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again 👍🏻”

— Teresa Minnie Maisie Jones

“Aline is truly amazing and we highly recommend her to anyone, within minutes she transformed our dog, Tiff is a very excitable young Kelpie Cross. She ticked about half of the unacceptable behaviour items, so with Aline's help we were able to understand her dog's body language and taught us how to take control and stop sending her the wrong signals. Day 2 after meeting Aline Tiff is walking calmly off lead and far better on lead. Thank you Aline we really appreciate all your help as does Tiff.”

— Jacque and Tiff Jones

“Can't believe how much I learned in just two hours with Aline let alone how much Zahli learnt! It is like walking a different dog! I learnt so so much about my body language towards my German Shepherd, and Aline was thankfully very patient through constantly correcting MY errors more so than my dogs!! Zahli and I are now working on more and more training together every day with all this new knowledge however Im sure I will be contacting Aline again in the near future for even more guidance. I cannot recommend her enough.”

— Hannah and Zahli Wilkinson

“Aline came to us to help address her problem of obsessively barking at our next-door neighbours and our fear of her possibly hurting someone when she growls at people. She is a big black dog and can appear scary if she is growling at someone, which is natural. She growled at Aline when she arrived and as we growled at her to stop, our feelings of fear, we were disarmed and relaxed immediately by her response as she came into the house and completely ignored her. Luna settled in a minute and relaxed on the floor. Aline is a true dog whisperer and has an innate way of working with and understanding Luna's needs.

I would not walk Luna through fear. After Aline helped me become aware that my anxiety was making Luna feel she needed to protect me, and practising, with Aline's help, to walk her in a relaxed way, behind me and barely holding the lead, we are now taking enjoyable walks, with me, the head wolf, leading the way. It is a true miracle for me. Her obsessive behaviour with the neighbours has calmed significantly. We have a beautiful dog that I can trust.

Aline is truly gifted and I would highly recommend her way and techniques to anyone. She loved the challenge (we were the challenge, not our dog!) and her way has given me invaluable insights. And she is also a genuine, caring and very effective teacher, for us humans 😊 Thank you so much, Aline, I am forever grateful.”

— Amanda Luna

“Thank you Aline for coming to our home and giving us the tools and confidence to help balance and settle our two miniature dachshunds. With a new baby coming, knowing we have the tools to Addis our dogs now is such a relief for us. Your kindness & patience with us was so wonderful and all your explanations and dog psychology made so much sense. We have seen many dog trainers before and your approach and advice have been the best. We feel you really understand each individual family or circumstance. We can’t wait to keep practising these techniques. Thank you. The Morelli Family”

“I was honoured to meet Aline yesterday 3/12. It will always be a very special day for both me and my staffy cross Vashti. She truly is a gifted "Dog Whisperer". I rescued Vashti two weeks previously, she has lived the hardest life, chained, and used as a puppy machine. I was given instructions to follow, as she had behavioural problems. I followed the instructions in the letter. but I intuitively felt I was in fact exacerbating the problems. But I didn't understand just how or what to do to ease them for her benefit. I have never had a dog with behavioural problems before, but again believing myself to be quite good at training, reading, and bringing a dog on, In this case, I was wrong, for 2 weeks we walked a little further daily, Vashti freezing every few minutes, me following the instructions given, cajoling her with soft words, with treats, to the point of me pulling her, like a mop on the floor., praising her for this behaviour, which simply created the problem to grow.

Thankfully an unexpected opportunity arose for us both. I was gifted a gift voucher on my birthday, for Vashti, to use in the dog shop "Peticular at Peregian Beach. Instinct told me this will be either a happy success or a raving failure, it turned into a bit of both when another dog entered the store. I was given Aline's phone number, and the lady actually texted Aline, sharing that we apparently were in an emergency and in need of help immediately, Food for thought.

Now meeting Aline was an extraordinary experience and not just for Vashti. Aline joined us on our walking routine, saw Vashti, mop the grass, freeze and my cajoling. Refusing to go down the shady, scary areas at the back of our house. Aline then took Vashti for a 10-minute walk and filmed her in action. She corrected Vashti's freezes in seconds, walked, corrected so naturally that Vashti walked happily, no trembling, no more freezes. No treats are needed, It was awesome to watch. Wow, just wow.

Aline is a remarkable dog whisperer, but her job doesn't stop there. I can happily say that she showed me with gentle patience and diplomacy, the mistakes I was making unknowingly, the important signals I missed. My arms, like windmills, had to learn to still, no talking, no cajoling, and no treats needed as they are simply unnecessary when training and this training is for me as well as Vashti.

Walking this morning, correcting when necessary, was a joyful experience. We passed dogs walking, fenced barking dogs, runners, cyclists, and many walkers, Vashti, just walked to heel. Yes, both she and I made little mistakes, but now being aware of them, and in truth, they are mostly my mistakes I happily own and correct them. There aren't words grand enough to express my gratitude to Aline. I was honoured to have met her, and now? Vashti the happy staffy who's got it far more quickly than me, trembles and freezes no more.

Woofing Great Thanks and Appreciation from Vashti and Susie”

“I am utterly amazed at the difference in Timmy after just one session with Aline. She gave me so much valuable information and many practical tips for training. She truly is a dog whisperer and after a bad experience with another dog trainer, I would highly recommend Aline. Today has left me very positive that our Psycho Moodle will respond really well using the methods Aline taught me today. Thanks again, Julia and Timmy”

— Julia and Timmy Barrett

“Wow! Aline is truly a dog whisperer and we are just so grateful for our time with her. We have an interesting dynamic going on with two rescue dogs, one a 9-year-old who is in a lot of pain, a fearful 5-year-old and a boisterous 5-month-old puppy. Our two older girls have had some horrific fights and we were at our wits end the vets told us we were going to have to medicate our 9-year-old to control her behaviour.

In comes Aline who is so lovely and has an absolute wealth of information to arm us with the tools to give our babies a happier and more relaxed life. Turns out with our fearful girl we thought we were doing the right thing in comforting her but this is in fact the wrong thing as it reinforces that she should be scared. With our cranky old girl, she has developed many habits which we are working on breaking. Aline was very patient with her and considered all her pains and injuries whilst also addressing her aggressive behaviours and subtly letting us know what we were doing wrong at the same time. Our puppy has done puppy school as well as adolescent school but we learnt he still has lots of training and we were taught some incorrect things during his training.

We are looking forward to implementing everything Aline has taught us and having her return to check on our progress and give us any further tips we need :)”

— Missy Shadow Bear and Lauren O’Neil

“We had amazing results from just one visit with Aline. Our staffy was making it very difficult to use a vacuum, blower or lawnmower while he was around. This is no longer a problem. He had no recall and this has improved vastly by following the techniques that Aline showed us. I would definitely recommend Aline if you have any issues or just need general training for your dog.”

— Marnie Morriss

“Highly recommend Aline, In less than an hour I had already seen such a change in Ruby. From having no recall and chasing the goats, horses and birds in the paddock, Aline shared her knowledge in understanding certain behaviours and gave a very clear understanding of any tips and tricks. Ruby will now come to me when I call and I don’t have to worry about her running away and not listening. The amount of respect and attention Ruby gave me after just one session was amazing.

Aline was very comfortable and relaxing to be around.”

— Kayla & Ruby

“If you need help understanding why your pooch is behaving a certain way, you will not regret calling on Aline to help you. I recently had Aline iron out my and my dog's relationship, communication and understanding of each other. The transformation is something that I cannot even express. My dogs are now happier that I understand them and we communicate much more clearly with each other. There was nothing that Aline could not help with, she is a bundle of knowledge and understanding. The session has helped so much. Thank you so much Aline we really appreciate all your help. We are now working hard on maintaining our balance. You Rock Aline.”

— Sandra with Peanut and Rocky Smith

“Thank you Aline for saving me today. I have a new puppy, an 11-year-old dog and a toddler running around. So I needed some professional help on how to get better at handling situations, mainly my big boy finding it hard to adjust to all of the changes. With just one visit from Aline I already feel confident using these skills so I can stay in control when things might get a little crazy and of course, create a better environment for everyone. I honestly can’t praise you enough. Aline, you are the dog whisperer.”

— Renee Diesel and Lollie Butler

“Aline is truly amazing and we highly recommend her to anyone. Within 10 minutes she transformed our dogs and changed our lives! It was incredible to watch it all unfold. Our 2 terriers barked at her as she entered our gate. Within a moment they stopped barking but in a calm way I’d never seen before. She has such a calm energy that the dogs feel. They still respond to all Aline has shown us. They are so much easier to manage and walking them is now relaxing not stressful.

Thanks, Aline you really are a dog whisperer and our dogs are so much more relaxed and happy now and we are too! 🐶”

— Molly Buddy and Blossom

“Aline is truly amazing - her ability to “lead” and “read“ dogs absolutely blew my mind and I am so grateful for her tuition and guidance with our beautiful Bandog Quinn.

After attending puppy school and basic obedience classes we thought we had Quinn right on track for a promising, well-rounded future with us. I considered myself quite “dog savvy” and had always had obedient, calm and confident dogs so believed Quinn was not going to be any different. Unfortunately for Quinn, I fell pregnant and was extremely ill with multiple issues along with my husband working away and a toddler, life got in the way and Quinn’s obedience was pushed aside resulting in her developing some habits which I was struggling to regain control off - I needed help and quickly!

I found Aline via a Recommendation on a community Facebook group and thank my lucky stars for that post! Aline responded to my email enquiry promptly and we made arrangements for a session. Within 30min of that session, Quinn and I began working in harmony and we have not looked back. Aline has instilled confidence in me and Quinn responds accordingly and we have been able to do all the things I was not able to do with her before. Aline guided me and Quinn to achieve our goals and I am so grateful - I will have Aline come back for a follow-up session in due course, more so to correct any habits I’ve developed and to ensure Quinn and I remain on track!

I can not recommend Aline highly enough - thank you, Aline!!!!”

— Breanna and Quinn Neilsen

“We own an excitable but loving border collie named Sammy. Having neglected to put her through puppy school at a young age, by 4 years old realised we needed help - and fast. Sammy was continually barking at the neighbours and running off our land onto theirs if they went anywhere in eyesight. She chased my horses at feed and catching times and bit their heels, making them buck and carry on. Added to that she was a nightmare on the lead on the daily walks, pulling in front and going crazy when cars went past - making the walk totally unenjoyable. If she was not fed and in her kennel by dark, she would stay out all night, running away from us, barking and refusing to be caught. We even had the council approach us as our neighbours had complained about her. Things we not good! Enter Aline. She quickly showed us some simple ways to have Sammy listening to us and showing us how to make walk times a pleasure, not a pain. Within a short time, we were seeing a huge difference in her behaviour - and were not required to do hours of daily training, we just needed a few simple skills - in 'dog' language. Sammy now comes the moment we ask and is happy to do so. She no longer chases my horses but will walk by my side to catch them. She no longer chases cars either - another former habit. She is a lovely dog to have around. We cannot recommend Aline highly enough. She has a sure method to help any dog and it is obvious she has a true affinity for this. Thank you Aline for bringing out the beautiful dog in Sammy!”

— Bronwyn and Alan with Sammy

“Aline is truly amazing. Mac is a 3-year-old British bulldog that I rescued 12 months ago. He was, what I thought was a typical stubborn bulldog. People told me you can’t train a bulldog; they will train you. He didn’t listen to anyone and was very unfriendly to strangers and other dogs. Going for a walk was a very stressful activity. Mac constantly pulled on the lead and if we met another person, or worse, another dog, it took all my strength to hold onto him. He would growl, lunge and bark and terrify people.

We had a session with Aline today and within 15 mins she had Mac walking calmly beside her. I couldn’t believe it. I was nervous when it came time for me to take the lead and walk him, but with Aline’s guidance, it was the best walk I have ever taken him on. He was calm, even when we came across other people, Aline was there giving me directions, and amazingly Mac listened. I even got to let go of his lead a few times and have him walk with me or sit calmly which is something I didn’t think would ever happen. I can’t wait to have a follow-up session in a month or so. I would highly recommend Aline she is a true dog whisperer and did a great job of training me on how to handle Mac. 

Thank you so much, Aline”

— Christine and Mac Davis 

“So amazing! I thought it would take weeks if not months to retrain some of Rex's bad behaviours. He would get over-excited jumping at the door, pulling on the lead, attacking nearby trees, even beginning to jump out at cars, constantly pulling on the lead to the point of injuring my hand and constantly barking, especially when going anywhere in the car. Aline showed us that within minutes she was able to completely calm him down and change his behaviour. Within two visits I now feel confident enough with all the tools at hand to be able to continue to keep him calm on walks and driving around. It's not a matter of changing him now just a matter of keeping up with the new tools and knowledge to keep him in check. Absolutely amazing!”

— Daniel and Rex Machan

“I am so impressed with Aline's work! Yoshi is a German Shepherd who we rescued at 10 mths old. He is now just over 1.5 years old. He would constantly pull on the lead and when we would encounter a dog he would lock his gaze onto the dog and lunge, growl, and bark at the dog. It was very stressful and I thought that we would never be able to be around another dog. Our neighbours have 2 dogs that will whine and bark at the fence when Yoshi is out and he just retaliates and would try and rip off the fence panels. These behaviours stressed me out and I was always so anxious walking him (which I know made the situation worse). When I have taken Yoshi to an off-leash area he could not care less where I was or what I was doing. I worked with Aline and the difference was immediate and amazing! She taught me so much. When she was walking with Yoshi I immediately saw a difference and then she walked with him and came back with another dog walking beside Yoshi!!!!! I was in awe and so overwhelmed that I could have cried. We then took Yoshi to a nearby park and I worked with him and the difference again was amazing! we worked with him off-leash and he actually listened and was paying attention to me! Aline was so knowledgeable, kind, and understanding and really provided me with the education I needed to have a well-rounded and behaved canine companion! She was able to relay the information in a very easy way for me to understand and I can not wait to see where we can go. Thank you so much, Aline!”

— Sarah and Yoshi Sparrow

“Aline was a God’s send. I am by no means new to dog training but our puppy was just becoming over the top and unruly. At 6 months she would CONSTANTLY steal food & anything else she could to tear it up. From toilet paper, a pillow, the laundry etc. She would latch onto your clothes and rip them or nip you in the bum when she wasn’t getting the attention she wanted. Nothing was safe! She was constantly “on” and not even an hour's run at the park was enough to settle her for a short nap. I worked with her every day on obedience, and tricks, and provided an abundance of exercise and all the enrichment I could think of, but it wasn’t enough and we weren’t coping. Honestly, she would sometimes leave me in tears. 

Someone at our local dog park recommended her and thank the lord they did! 

Aline walked in and immediately got the respect of Misia. Misia used to not pay attention to me at all. Now she is (mostly) always aware of where I am as Aline taught me how to gain her respect and be the leader. We now walk without a lead more often than with one (she used to bolt & not listen) and her obedience has improved as we are now working as a team rather than Misia doing what she wants and me trying to convince her otherwise. Her recall has also greatly improved as a result and when we are out everyone comments on how well behaved off lead she is for her age (now 9 months - little do they know the journey!!!).

Misia went from food stealing to not even daring to look at a platter of cold cuts as Aline put it in front of her without saying a single word or even touching her. She taught me this too... all in one visit!

I had her come back so that she could have a session with my dad (a stubborn older man) so that he could learn to handle Misia better also. Her patience with him was also astounding (he’s harder to work with than my puppy ever was! ;) ).

Her principles and how she teaches them are amazing. They truly work like magic! I even had family members jokingly ask if she was a dog trainer or a witch as they were amazed by the immediate improvement. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough & I could rave on for days about how she is worth every single cent. The tools & knowledge she provides are invaluable.”

— Aleks and Misia

“Aline is absolutely amazing - a true dog whisperer! We were experiencing behavioural issues with our 12-month-old female German Shepard rescue, in particular pulling while walking on the lead and lunging at other dogs - obedience training was not fun for anyone and we were at our wit's end. Within 5 mins Aline had Koda walking quietly beside her and she was barely holding the lead. We stood in awe! I liken our reaction to the reaction of someone who has just seen the most amazing magic trick, keeping in mind everything you observe Aline doing is real!

As Aline needed to work on Koda's socializing behaviour, she also brought two dogs along. This made us very nervous, but again, Aline had our dog and her dog walking quietly side by side within a very short time - again amazing!

Aline's techniques and calm nature have not only helped our dog but also us to become better owners - all within one session. We can't recommend Aline more highly to anyone who wants to learn how to really connect with your dog.

Thank you so much, Aline, we look forward to seeing you again for a follow-up.“

— Sally Damien Koda McNamara

“I can't even put into words how grateful I am for Aline's help. We've only had one session so far and already, Odin is like a new dog. He is perfect on the lead and is showing much less fear than previously - allowing me to be the 'alpha' as Aline says! Honestly, the best money I've ever spent, I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Her manner with him was beautiful and she was so knowledgeable. I can't wait to get Aline back to support us further and pick her brain even more!”

— Stacey and Odin Hood

“Thanks, Aline so much for your help with my dogs Bonnie and Gus. Your guidance and expertise made it a lot easier to maintain control of them while off-lead and with many distractions. I am using the techniques you taught me and am already seeing great results in how calm and obedient they are.

It was great to learn from someone that has such amazing knowledge gained from many years of working with troubled dogs, and not knowledge gained from a science book. 

Would highly recommend Aline to anyone who wants to learn from someone that really understands dogs.”

— Paul Grzyb

“Thank you so much, Aline. We adopted Buddy from a shelter a week ago, and he was very timid. He also started growling at my 25-year-old daughter which really worried us. What a difference after Aline spent a couple of hours with all of us, teaching us how easy it was to train this beautiful dog. We are so grateful for your knowledge and no that Buddy is not a bad dog but needed to know the rules. Thanks heaps.”

— Jenny Bruce Simone Buddy Lindley

“If you have behavioural issues with your dogs, save time & money call Aline first. She came to my house and observed the interactions b/t me and my dogs and then we went to our local dog park to work on those issues. She is very knowledgeable about dogs & was very generous with her time. Just one introduction meeting was all it took. Aline has given me the tools to work on those issues with my dogs. I can't recommend Aline highly enough.”

— Tom Marley Bear

“I was really lucky to meet Aline, it was one of those casualties in life that make you think that it was just meant to be. 

I own a Goat Dairy farm in Costa Rica where I keep dogs and other animals, as part of the work on the farm I welcome volunteers and I also have some rooms for lease on Airbnb. I had been having problems with Coco (a big Brasilian Fila) for some time as she is a very fearful dog and had started to react by nipping strangers (volunteers), I was already considering sending her away to another farm when Aline booked one of my Airbnb rooms!

Aline explained EVERYTHING about her behaviour and also taught us how we, with our own behaviour, are making things worse for her. I feel so blessed, she gave me hope and also the tools I need to work with Coco. Now it's up to me to keep on working with her.

Thank you so very much, you gave us another chance to stay together, I will always remember you with gratitude!”

— Gabriela and Coco Feoli

“Aline is a true professional in her field, her assistance and explanations were clear and precise and demonstrated a complete knowledge of dog behaviour. The outcomes from her visit have shown immediate improvement in Yuki's behaviour, we still have a way to go with her protective/nervous barking, but are making ground. Her walking on the lead is a complete transformation and now an enjoyable pursuit. We would have no hesitation in recommending Aline to anyone having behavioural problems with their dog.”

— Yuki Bacon

“Aline is quite simply amazing! We have had countless lessons with other dog trainers with our two-and-a-half-year-old German Shepherd Hudson, and we got more out of our first session with Aline than all those lessons put together. We've had trouble with Hudson charging at other dogs, barking and jumping on them (off lead) as well as constant pulling on lead. And I had no recall once he had his mind set on other dogs or birds - he would just charge off ignoring us completely. Aline corrected all this behaviour in just a couple of hours. Everything she told and taught us made so much sense whereas with other trainers we would come away questioning their methods - particularly when none of it worked. We became so frustrated and walking Hudson just became a frustrating unhappy chore. We are feeling confident going forward with our training, particularly knowing we can call on Aline at any time. We just wish we had found her earlier, before spending hundreds of dollars on methods that clearly don't work! We would highly recommend Aline to anyone having problems with their dog.”

— Linda and Hudson Suttie

“Rescued an 11-week-old puppy with problems that I was advised by two other separate professionals that it was unfixable. But in one hour of Aline's magnificent dog training technique, we had a new well-behaved, responsive puppy. Aline has saved this puppy’s future, what an unbelievable response from the puppy due to this trainer's fantastic techniques. The bond she created within 20 mins of being here was dramatically unbelievable as well as being able to share the techniques needed to implement within the family so she has created a safe and comfortable environment for my 4 and 8-year-old children. The continued support that has been offered is incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much Aline's training, is highly recommended, can’t speak highly enough. I urge that any other owners not give up until they try her training techniques. Thank you kindest regards, Simone from Pearcedale.”

— Simone and Rusty Merrett

“I first met Aline when I was walking my very unsociable dog down the street. Aline was walking her dogs towards me and my dog started barking and lunging at the end of his lead. I ask if she could give us some space as my dog does not like other dogs or humans. Aline introduced herself to me as a dog trainer and asked if she could help me with my dog. I apprehensively gave her Boof's lead with a warning that he has been known to bite. After he nipped her leg she walked him up and down in front of me with her dogs following her close by, within 5 minutes she had my Boof healing he was no longer barking and he was compleat putty in her hands. I never in a million years thought I would see Boof behaving so well with other dogs in close proximity and with a total stranger leading him.

Thank you Aline walking my Boof is no longer a stressful exercise for both him and myself.”

— Lesley and Boof Lloyd

“Aline is currently helping us with Stitch, who is quite an anxious and sensitive soul. Not only was she very generous with her time, her knowledge and ability to interpret your dog's behaviour, are incredible. In a very short time, Stitch was walking calmly along on a loose lead, past other dogs without the normal tug of war! His obsession with chasing and barking at birds is another area that is now under control. We are a work in progress, but we now have the tools to keep improving, thanks to Aline.”

— Ann and Stitch Robertson

“We met Aline a few weeks ago when she came to train our 7-year-old American staffy Bronx. Bronx would pull on the lead when you walked him and wasn't great with other dogs. From the moment Aline walked through the gate and interacted with Bronx I was amazed. She had him walking beautifully on the lead which we were able to continue and he is so much better with other dogs. We are able to take him off the lead and let him run around which we didn't think was possible. I would and do recommend Aline to everyone having trouble with their dogs.”

— Shona and Bronx Mclean

“A friend of ours recommended Aline to us after having her out for their dog. I was amazed at how quickly Ted responded to her techniques. We paid for a two-hour session but ended up having a three-hour session, at no extra cost, as she could see we need more time. It was full-on training and Aline was so patient with us and Ted. Not once did she judge us for how we had handled Ted's behaviour, she encouraged us the whole time explaining how and why he does what he does. Every technique she used with Ted came from her loving heart for dogs. She truly has a genuine gift for what she does. We still have to keep working with Ted but can see the improvements already after learning these techniques. It is up to us now to be consistent and it won't be long before we have a more obedient family doggy.

Thanks, Aline for spending the time with us and also for following up afterwards.”

— Alison and Ted Hart

“We loved Aline's ability to train us (!!) in understanding a dog's world. We learnt methods of training Bijou that we have not known of before. The long rope works a treat, the shaker, and giving her love and cuddles rather than food, as a reward, is wonderful. We understand her language so much more now. Thank you, Aline!”

— Chrissy and Dave - Bijou Gordon

“Shadow and I were having some major problems. Shadow is a Blue Healer. He would jump up on people when they came to visit, he would walk me, he would go crazy if other people walk past our house and the list goes on. It's been 2 weeks since we meet Aline. He doesn't jump on people, he comes when called and We Walked Together now. We are still working on some other issues but we are getting there. Aline has given us the tools and know-how to be successful. Thank you, Aline.”

— Cheryl and Shadow Smith

“I've known Aline for some time now, I always knew she was great with dogs. That was until I adopted an 11-month-old Rottweiler cross husky (Kai). Kai had no formal training whatsoever and had been re-homed multiple times. In a nutshell, he was impossible. Aline offered her help, and within no time Kai was obeying Aline and myself. Instead of pulling he was walking, and listening rather than ignoring. Now even without Aline around he's walking next to me, acknowledging me and listening to me. As I'm writing this feedback, I've only had Kai for 4 days. 4 days of knowing this pup and this is what Aline has achieved. Need I say more?”

— Aaron Hughes Kai

“Aline helped us so much! I cannot believe that after 1 visit, I have already experienced so much improvement! my biggest challenge was to recall him when he is interested in doing his own thing, Remi would only come back 50% of the time, the 'shaker' technique really worked and I continued with this immediately! Every time it works! I now only walk him on a collar instead of the harness, and am much more confident with the prospect of letting him off lead more often, he loves playing the search game to stimulate him, and I have realised how smart my Bichoodle is and I want him to be more stimulated so I will continue with this type of playtime that will really benefit him. thanks, Aline, that was time and money very well spent! I am so happy to iron out some really critical behaviours for both my and my dog's happiness!”

— Caroline and Remi Madill

“I have known Aline for over 2 years now, She helped me with my dog in a very short time, She knows what she is doing, she understands dogs and dogs behave and listens to her at the first lesson. She is a dog whisperer. I highly recommend everyone, who wants to have a perfect dog, contact Aline! You will be very very satisfied.”

— Luba - "Princess" (Doberman)

“Aline was wonderful to deal with. She is so full of knowledge and it was amazing to learn and have her help train and get to know our dog even better when he was feeling a little left out after our kids came along. Thank you, Aline :-)”

— Corina Harley De Wildt

“Aline has just recently looked after Cookie for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday. During this time she also trained Cookie. Before we had her trained, I couldn't take Cookie for a walk without her pulling on the lead very hard. I would often come home with a sore back & frustrated that she wouldn't listen to me. We also were too scared to let her out the front door without a lead, as we thought she would run away. Now, Cookie is walking leash free down the beach. I can walk her on a lead without her pulling. She is listening to everything we say. She is also a much calmer and content dog. I shall be using Aline in the future for boarding and training.

Thank you Aline you have changed both our family's lives and also Cookies. We are extremely grateful and it's the best money we ever spent.”

— Melissa Cookie Faidutti

“My 12-year-old border collie had several issues that had never been resolved, even after puppy socialisation and obedience training. Within the first half an hour Aline had Roxy coming straight back to me when she was called (something she had never done) and returning balls and sticks. She now trots behind me on a bike or walks off-leash and is a much less anxious dog. Roxy's second issue was barking at dogs going passed our house. She now only barks occasionally at them. Aline also showed me the behaviours to look for to stop her acting intimidating and then snapping at other dogs. Now that I recognise these I can stop the behaviour before it escalates. This is the best money I have ever spent on Roxy, she is happier and I am happy finally being in charge of my dog instead of the other way around. I'd like to thank Aline for the great job she did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to all other dog owners.”

— Tracey Baker (Roxy)

“Clay was badly traumatized from a home break-in as a young pup (which made him fearful and aggressive towards People.) But with only 1 session Aline had him interacting with family and friends and walking off the lead. Aline is an absolute magician in reading and understanding dog behaviour and explaining everything she does step by step to us the owners. Highly recommend to anyone that is having any issues with their best friend to contact Aline - the results speak for themselves!”

— Dan - 'Claymore' Walter

“Aline was fantastic with Indy, who had a few behavioural and recall issues. Since working with her over a year ago, I still put to practice all the tips Aline taught me and it's made a huge difference in Indy for the better. I highly recommend Aline to anyone who has dogs and just wants to learn more about them.”

— Clare 'Indy' - Kelpie x Koolie

“I have recommended Aline to so many people. she is amazing with dogs. I bought a pup that had been dumped at 9 weeks old, that grew and grew, that I didn't even want to go out in the back yard with as he would hang off any part of me he could get and not let go. I met Aline walking past with a dog trotting beside her, not on a lead. I said how do you get her dog to be so well behaved and she told me she trained dogs. After two and a half hours with my dog, (more training of me than the dog) I now have a dog that is gentle, walks with me without a lead and is a pleasure to own. I can now take a bone right out of his mouth. The difference is unbelievable. Aline is certainly the dog whisperer.”

— Beris and Bongo Markakis

“Sam is a rescue dog and because of his chequered past tends to be aggressive with dogs he doesn't know. Aline has given me strategies to change this behaviour and to make him a more relaxed dog when we are out walking. Dizzy is a young JRT and she enjoys the majority of her walk now completely off the lead because Aline has given me the confidence to allow her to do that, knowing she will obey my commands when necessary. I couldn't be happier with the guidance Aline has given me.”

— Jenny - Sam & Dizzy

“I met Aline in 2014 and I am forever indebted to her for changing our lives. Here is our story...

We had two big issues (1) Since the days of puppy school, Monty hated using a chocker chain, a gentle leader, a harness etc but he pulled and pulled and was too strong to just walk with a leash and collar. We live on an extremely busy road so for, some type of restraint was required. Monty would run and hide in a corner and not want to go for a walk - what Labrador does that? During conventional dog training classes, they made us use the gentle leader and he would rub his face against the concrete and was bleeding. It was horrible and walks were not enjoyable until we got off the leash. But then....here comes issue #2

(2) Monty, our beautiful Chocolate Labrador had a major stick fetish since he was a puppy. In general, he was pretty well-behaved but anytime he would get bored, nervous or excited he would start munching on sticks. He would eat around 50 pieces of mulch a park session. This led to us constantly going to the vet during the first year of his life, followed by working with a dog behavioural doctor who put him on anti-anxiety medication for OCD (which was not good for him) as well as following all the medical professional recommendations including a vet recommended behavioural specialist trainer. We spent around $6000 trying to deal with this issue with no success.

Then came Aline... she is a dog whisperer - within 2 weeks of working with her our lives dramatically changed. Firstly she gave us a different leash (we hadn't seen one of these before) which Monty welcomed straight away. The way Aline approached Monty's issues was far different than the vet and the doggy specialist. She observed his interactions, his body language and how we handled and interacted with Monty. With a few tweaks here and there (for all of us), and following her guidance and instructions we got our puppy back and we quickly could control his stick-eating problem and obedience. Watching Aline with Monty (and the other dogs in the pack) is incredible. The dogs just welcome and listen to her.

Monty is now 4, he is more mature now and will still pick up a stick here and there but when we say 'drop it' he spits it out. His recall is impeccable, he doesn't pull when walking and enjoys being out and about. We now trust him 100% and the techniques Aline taught us we use every day.

I can highly recommend Aline, she approaches each situation and each session independently and she will always be our go-to trainer for any dog issues we may encounter in the future. Looking back I can't believe how much time and money I wasted with other trainers and doggy professionals. Like humans, dogs all learn differently and Aline's dog-whispering approach just works!”

— Daniella - 'Monty'

“When Aline arrived at my place, my dog, Jackie had her undivided attention. This 5yo labrador's brain was instantly engaged and doing things it was instructed to do. It was a bloody miracle to see my dog looking intently at Aline and focused on further instructions. Jackies barking at other dogs and her annoying pulling on the lead was cured. This was all done with patience and love and in a really short amount of time. I would strongly advise anyone with a dog that has issues to go and see Aline.”

— Frank Jackie Fitzsimmons

“Thanks so much to Aline for working with our two cheeky huskies. We asked Aline to assist us with lead behaviour (pulling on the lead) and interaction/playing with other dogs. Aline was extremely accommodating and helpful in arranging the initial training session. She stayed for well over three hours and taught us a lot about how to work with our dogs on and off the lead. Our dogs are 7 and 8 and before having this training we thought they were 'too old' to train. Aline taught us a lot about our dogs and their personalities and showed us that dogs can be trained at any age.

As soon as we implemented Aline's suggestions, our dogs responded immediately. Their behaviour improved dramatically and we have continued with Aline's strategies and have continued to see improvements (after only one training session). We are now able to walk with them on the lead without any pulling. We are also working on recall and behaviour at the park and it is going very well.

We are very grateful for Aline's help and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog trainer (or whisperer)!”

“Coco is a 6-year-old Chinese Crested Powderpuff, who seemed very anxious around the home, she barked at anyone or anything that passed the front of the house. If anyone came to the front door she barked uncontrollably until she was content. Whenever I called her, she would ignore me, or keep barking, but run off with anxiety. Coco would also never come to the person calling her, she would go to the opposite person, or in the opposite direction. When we walked Coco, she was always out the front pulling, and it was never an enjoyable experience. Coco also suffers a lot of anxiety in the car, and around water.

We met with Aline, through a recommendation, and within 30mins, Aline had Coco walking comfortably beside me - leash-free. Coco learnt for the first time to go swimming, and I have taken her swimming again successfully. Now, coco is more relaxed around the house, she no longer barks uncontrollably and I can call her to come back or come to me, and she does, without resistance. Coco walks both leash on or leash free, comfortably next to me, and I have confidence she won't run away. I feel like she is a happier dog, which makes the house much more pleasant.”

— Kelly and Coco Baker

“Our samoyed was a destructive beautiful little thing (6 months) the first time we called Aline. She was recommended by a family member and her approach was exactly what we were looking for. She came to our house, spend a few hours with us and it's incredible how he just reacted to her. Her tips and tricks are easily applicable and it's about demeanour and consistency. Before my first daughter was born I approached her again to help me 'prepare' the dog. I am sooooo happy I did this as it has ensured an incredible relationship between them and a confident mum to deal with both. Thanks, Aline. Can't wait to visit your property again and have a run down the beach.”

“You have done some amazing work with Rosey. The shaker and clicker are working really well. Rosey is walking better on the lead and responds great to what we want her to do. Still gets excited when people or dogs cross her path, however, it is manageable. Hopefully, she will stop jumping on people soon. We have had no visitors to test this out at home yet. You have a firm but gentle way with dogs, and I can see your expertise in dog training. I will recommend you to others. Hope to speak soon. Kind regards Liz

Aline was excellent in giving us techniques and strategies to use with our difficult puppy. Rosie is settling into becoming a well-behaved and much happier dog.”

— Steve Liz- Rosie lab pup Chapman

“Aline worked with a friend of mine and he passed on her number as she had worked wonders for his dogs, I was sceptical but had no other options.. best decision id ever made my dogs have gone from stubborn aggressive pains in the a** to well-behaved and controllable in under an hour! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

— Jarrod Hodgson

"Without hesitation, we recommend Aline for your dog training and boarding needs. Having previously lodged our nearly two-year-old Border Collie Archie at a local kennel, we are so pleased we opted for the more personal attention offered by Aline during our most recent holiday. Archie came back to us as a better-behaved and more relaxed dog and clearly loved the multiple daily walks and the company of his new canine pals. We have increased confidence in walking Archie off-leash, and he is much calmer around other dogs and people. We also appreciated the regular photos and videos of Archie which came through just at the right time whilst we were away. When we plan our next vacation one of the first calls we make will be to Aline to make sure we get Archie booked in with her for his own holiday!"

— Mark and Andrea

“Best investment ever ...in 2 hours the change in my dog's behaviour was phenomenal. I can't recommend Aline enough and I now have some good techniques to work with my dog too. Much gratitude.”

— Bear Kelly

“I can't speak highly enough of Aline. She came to visit us this morning after we had been experiencing some aggression and crazy behaviour from our 18-month-old Collie x Kelpie Luna. We had worked with another dog trainer in the past and were given some techniques that I believe may have created fear aggression in Luna. Aline was so generous with her time and definitely prioritises helping dogs and their families over making money. She was diligent in understanding the reasons for Luna's behaviour rather than just working on obedience. We have some homework to do but have already seen a huge shift in Luna's behaviour. Thank you Aline for giving me the tools to become the confident leader that Luna needs.”

— Katie and Luna Ryan

“I heard of Aline through a friend so decided to call and see if Aline could give me some pointers as I was having a bit of trouble correcting my dogs. I was pretty much on track as one of them had been abused in the past and he needed time to learn how to dog. Aline knew what she was doing and had them doing what I had been trying to do for months in minutes. Aline taught me a lot of tips and technics to help me understand what they are doing and why. It's only been a day and I see huge differences in my dogs so we are very grateful to Aline for all her help.”

— Deb Sonny and Shade

Feedback from the German Rescue Organization

I want to thank, Aline Serra sincerely for her excellent cooperation. For 22 years I have volunteered and mediate (tested by the veterinary) dogs for various animal welfare organizations.

• animal 2000

• Tierschutzverein - Capdepera

• TSV-Neuss

• Kreta - Hunde

• wauwau - Lanzerote

• Cooler Hund e.V.

Ms Serra helped us from 2004 – 2013 she saved more than 300 "problem dogs" and has done an excellent job. No dog was too difficult, for her!

Eg: The highly conspicuous 50-kilo dog "hot dog," who attacked little dogs frequently. After 2 weeks of training with Aline Serra, the hot dog was leash trained. He could walk freely in the park without hesitating or attacking other dogs. Since Hot Dogs rehabilitation there was never a new case. 

Jina: An abandoned case given up, by other dog trainers, came with detours to Ms Serra. Jina was also attacking other dogs for no reason. It took 2 weeks to rehabilitate her so that she could run in a pack without the muzzle. Her owner gained confidence again in Jina and could walk her without incidences. Her owner is grateful for the change that she has provided her, and her dog.

"Lucky”, Was a joyful hunting male dog, however, he was not at all people-oriented. After 1 week with Ms Serra, he was road trained and the recall work perfectly even in a forest, the method of Aline Serra is always based on off-lead training so that Lucky could even walk of lying on the road. He became people orientated and we could successfully find him a new home. 

Pfotenparadies and Stephanie Hotze

Interesting was, that Ms. Serra get the puppies within the shortest time housebroken.

I myself (Stephanie Hotze) will never forget Ms Serra and how she was able to train my emergency "Thor" who destroyed everything that came his way. For example my seat belts, car headrests, leashes and dog beds etc.

Repeatedly she could prove to us,( the organizations, the new dog owners and me) that no dog, no matter what age is too difficult for her or to give up on him. Aline has always found the right method for each individual dog with patience and passion.  

We were all very impressed by how unconditionally and loyal the dogs were following her without a leash after a few hours.

The main resent for her was always the welfare of the dog.

We are thanking, Ms. Serra for the great work she has done over the years. We will miss her and we wish her all the best for the future.
