DOG TRAINING & BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION
Rewriting behaviour, rebuilding confidence, restoring calm.
Turning potential into everyday reality.
Who is pawtential?
I’m Jade — a behaviour-focused dog trainer who’s been obsessed with dogs and training for as long as I can remember. But things got real when my own dog, Milo, was attacked at just seven months old. Overnight she went from confident to reactive, and I had to learn how to navigate big emotions, stress, triggers, and rebuilding trust from the ground up.
That experience changed everything for me. It turned my love of dog training into a mission: helping other owners face the behavioural challenges that feel overwhelming, isolating, or never-ending.
Growing up with high-drive working breeds taught me the value of fulfilled, genetically satisfied dogs — and the chaos that comes when those needs aren’t met. Now I help bridge the communication gap between dogs and their humans, turning confusion into clarity and stress into steadiness.
I work with owners who want real behavioural change — not surface-level obedience fixes. Whether you're dealing with reactivity, fear-based aggression, noise sensitivity, overarousal, or resource guarding, I create personalised behaviour plans that build confidence, restore calm, and make everyday life feel lighter for both you and your dog.

I had just one session with Jade and the improvements I’ve seen since then have been absolutely incredible. She gave me the right tools and guidance I needed, and knowing I’m using the correct techniques has made such a difference in my confidence and my dog’s behavior. What’s made the experience even better is being able to send Jade videos and updates. she’s so supportive and always helps me make sure I’m on the right track. That ongoing encouragement has really kept me going. I’m so grateful I found her highly recommend to anyone looking for real, lasting results!

Jade has been incredible with helping my two blue heelers with their separate behavioural issues! She was able to train both my dog and myself how to handle his reactivity with other dogs while out on walks and has built our confidence so much! She’s also been so attentive and helpful between sessions checking in and sending additional training info to us. Now that we have a baby on the way, Jade has created a “doggy bootcamp” to make sure both of my dogs are calm and well behaved inside the house also. I couldn’t recommend Jade enough to anyone considering approaching her for help with their dogs!

Jade is an absolute game-changer! Before training, walks with my dog were stressful and chaotic. But after just a few sessions with Jade, everything turned around.
She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and used clear, positive methods that made a huge difference without ever being harsh. My dog now walks calmly by my side, and I actually enjoy our walks again. Jade made the whole experience fun and empowering for both of us.
If you’re dealing with leash pulling or want to build better walking habits, go see Jade at Pawtential Unleashed. She’s amazing!
