Jo Goddard, principal dog and puppy trainer 

Canine Solutions is the longest serving professional dog training facility based in Wellington. Over the last 12 years, Jo Goddard, principal trainer and owner of Canine Solutions has developed her own comprehensive training program to promote her philosophy of having ‘a calm obedient dog’. She is also an approved court witness on canine behavior.

Jo has worked extensively with packs of dogs, researching the dog's natural communication signals and the importance of pack hierarchy. She has a comprehensive understanding of the protocols within the pack and the implications if there is confusion within the pack.

Jo has a natural ability for reading dogs and communicating in a way they understand. By working in a natural way using her knowledge of pack protocol, people are simply amazed at the difference in the way their dog behaves after just one training session.

Through Jo’s philosophy of gaining control through a harmonious relationship based on respect and trust you too can enjoy having a calm obedient dog.

Jo started training dogs at a young age and was a senior instructor at her local dog obedience club at 18 years old. Her dream was always to work with and train dogs. So with her natural talent and business background, she is now living her dream and is known and well respected, as one of Wellington’s leading dog behavior specialists.
