Co-Founder of Canine Caregivers Ian Shivers

Ian has been working as a behaviour consultant and helping fellow professionals within the pet dog industry since 2011. With over 4000 clients under his belt from working with more behavioural issues than you can shake a stick at he has a wealth of experience problem solving and creating solutions for his clients and their four legged best friends. Ian's fundamental belief is that if we are striving for emotionally stable dogs through the C.A.R.E. approach, we will see far fewer dogs struggling with stress, fear, anxiety & frustration, far fewer undesirable behaviours and ultimately dogs and caregivers living happier and healthier lives together.

Co-Founder of Canine Caregivers Dominique Hone

Dom has been working in the animal industry since 2006, working in multiple rescues both here in Australia and overseas. This is where she found her passion for understanding dogs and helping people understand the "why" the behaviour happens, where it comes from and how to help both sides of the lead work together as a team. She became a qualified behavioural trainer in 2015 with the Delta society, at the same time adopting her own dog from a pound who she soon discovered has struggles around humans. Experiencing what it is like for people with dogs that have struggles in our everyday world was a game changer. Archie has been her biggest teacher to date, and she is still learning. Understanding dogs and the behaviours they display as well as helping the caregivers change the narrative is Dom's goal. Dom has consulted with thousands of dog training clients, Dom has held workshops and talks for rescue shelters, dog daycare staff and pound staff as well as foster carers. Building a bridge of communication, empathy and understanding at both ends of the lead is how Canine Caregivers came about. The goal of creating unity between dogs and their Caregivers.
