Let's run together!
It started in 2002 . I bought a farm, rescued a red Kelpie named Gretta. Add a horse, a few hundred sheep—and everything changed.
Animals became my life’s work. I've trained working dogs, qualified as an equine dentist, and spent 18 years travelling Victoria and Tasmania treating horses, with my dogs eagerly accompanying my every trip as well as coming on every after work trail run.
Last year alone, I drove 80,000km for life and work. That’s commitment.
Now based full time in Torquay, I’m sharing my lifetime's experience with animals with this community—less driving, more presence, more to give.
I’m utterly committed to animal health, behaviour, and their total wellbeing. Not trends or shortcuts. I bring real, lived experience—being fit and capable, working outdoors with animals, in all weather -isn’t a business idea. It’s my way of life.
You can expect a reliable professional service, understanding, and excellent communication—because animal care doesn’t stop when the session ends.
If you want a calm, capable leader your dog can trust—you’re in the right place.

Have a question? Curious if we’re the right fit?
Reach out and say hello. We’ll chat about your dog, your routine, and what you’re looking for — easy + relaxed.
We’ll meet you and your dog, usually at home or a familiar spot.
This is where we learn personalities, routines, quirks, and preferences. We make sure all forms are filled out— then tailor the perfect adventure plan for your dog.
Your dog heads off on their Salty Trails adventure — exploring, moving, socialising, and having a seriously good time.
We’ll return them happy, exercised, and content. That’s what it’s all about.!
