Meet Renee Rhoades  

Renee Rhoades at R+Dogs is a qualified virtual canine behaviour consultant and certified trainer specialising in reactivity, aggression, and general fears/phobias.

R+Dogs is committed to reward-based methods rooted in ethics and positive welfare. In 2020 Renee started the campaign #mentalhealthmattersfordogstoo aiming to bring more awareness of the importance of looking after our dog's mental well-being as we do our own.

Renee loves to say that she coaches her clients toward positive change for both ends of the leash because educating and training dog guardians is the only way to help improve the lives of dogs.

Continued professional development is critical to Renee, and she dedicates herself to hundreds of hours each year to improve her knowledge and skills. In 2022 Renee is due to finish her Animal Welfare Science, Ethics, and Law Masters degree along with taking several other industry opportunities such as becoming a Certified Family Dog Mediator, a Certified Control Unleashed Instructor and becoming a Dog Trainer Mentor with Dog Training College.
