Meet Tracee, Your Expert Dog Trainer

Hello! I’m Tracee, the proud owner and head trainer at Paws In Progress Dog Training. My journey with animal training began in my childhood, where I found joy in teaching basic obedience and tricks to not just dogs, but also cats and horses. Little did I know, this early passion would evolve into my life’s work. This is Me and my beloved dog Matilda-Rose 🌹

Our Training Philosophy

I’m a firm believer in the power of positive reinforcement and force-free training methods. My goal is to create a training experience that’s not only effective but also enriching for both you and your dog.

Tailored to Your Needs

Recognising that every dog and owner is unique, we offer customised training plans to meet your specific needs. I would be thrilled to assist you and your dog on your training journey, ensuring a happier and more harmonious life for both of you.

My Journey in Dog Training

I embarked on my career as a Dog Training Instructor in 2016 through an intensive, hands-on training program with the International Dog Training School. Unlike short, theory-based courses, this comprehensive training exposed me to real-life scenarios, working closely with a variety of dogs and their owners. To stay current, I’ve completed numerous courses that keep me updated on the latest training methodologies.

In addition to my professional training, I volunteer as an Instructor at the Gold Coast Dog Obedience Training Club, where I teach obedience classes year-round.

A Unique Perspective

My extensive background in Human Resources Training & Development has equipped me with a deep understanding of human behaviour and learning styles. This unique skill set allows me to effectively bridge the communication gap between dogs and their owners, ensuring successful training outcomes in real-world situations.
