We worked with Liarne to help with our 6-month Cavaliar’s barking. He is so much easier because of her help and is now a well-behaved cuddle bug!

Liarne is fantastic, we noticed changes in our one year old border collie within a week by implementing Liarne’s training. She has also been fantastic without ongoing communication and support. Highly recommend!

Liarne impressed me with her wealth of knowledge. You think you know dogs, until you meet Liarne. Liarne opened my eyes to the hidden language of the canine world. Liarne references relatable analogies to help better understand canine behaviour. Thank you Liarne.

Constance is our lively and energetic 22 months old pup who benefitted hugely from Liarne’s K9 training. Not only did she love the lessons and Liarne’s fully stuffed with treats Kong :) she responded well and retained the training which really improved her recall and help us a lot in stopping her barking at new people entering our house. Liarne’s K9 course also taught us techniques to continue to reinforce the training and adapt to Constance’s little quirks to help both of us develop in a positive direction. We’re so glad to have met Liarne, she’s a great dog trainer ♥️

I highly recommend Liarne, her calm, kind demeanour is welcomed by dogs and humans alike! She is knowledgeable and an expert offering stepped solutions to address any issues. Liarne provided continued follow up and advice as required.

We went back to Liarne after working with her previously, as our dog had started developing some new unwanted behaviours. Even though we’ve since moved interstate, the online training sessions were no issue at all — she made the whole process easy and just as effective as in-person. Her understanding of dog behaviour and psychology is outstanding, and she tailored everything perfectly to suit our deaf dog. We saw real improvements and felt supported the whole way through. Highly recommend her to anyone needing guidance with their dog, especially those with unique challenges. She’s fantastic.

Liarne has been absolutely amazing. From the very quick response to my online enquiry, to the incredible quality time she spent with us, talking through everything about our dog and giving us such comprehensive advice and next steps. Her ongoing support is also incredible. I have never seen my anxious dog warm up to someone new so fast! After feeling like nothing we have been doing seems to work with our anxious dog, we finally have some clear steps to follow and a lot of hope for a giving our dog more confidence, knowing that Liarne is here to support us every step of the way! Beyond grateful and cannot recommend her enough!

I can’t express how happy I am I found Liarne. I’ve been at the end of my tether with my little fur baby. I w done puppy school, Woofz app, listened to all dog owner’s advice but made no headway with our puppy’s behaviour. Liarne’s method is very natural, now that I think of it! Based on how a puppy is raised with a mummy dog and siblings. It completely made sense. She spent a lot of time basically training us to train our puppy. Although we are at the beginning of our journey, I can see the changes in the behaviour right away. Can’t recommend Liarne enough. I only wish I had found her earlier.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Liarne work with me and Duke at puppy school but also with in home private training for some additional and personal feedback on how to get Duke settled into his new home and working on separation anxiety. Her care, passion, understanding and easy to understand approach makes training so much more easier and we are getting through step by step. It’s still early days but can already see so much improvement with Duke! Thank you Liarne!

Meet Liarne Henry

K9 Trainer is owned and operated by international dog trainer and canine behaviour specialist Liarne Henry. Over the last 30+ years, Liarne has worked with celebrities, families, rescue dog owners, new dog owners, dog shelters, farms, and wild dogs to overcome even the trickiest of cases.

Dogs are my love language.

What started as a boundless love of animals as a child ended up becoming my lifelong career. I first began in Germany over 30 years ago working with professionals who trained German Shepherds, and I knew then that my role as a professional dog trainer was simply meant to be.

Over the last few decades, I’ve worked in America, Europe and Australia and trained over 10,000 dogs – big, small, shy, boisterous, calm, aggressive…you name it! Nowadays, I work as a private dog trainer, puppy school instructor, and speaker at canine seminars and schools.

In the early days of my career, I conducted extensive research for a year on street dogs in Greece and studied the behaviour of wolves at Tierpark Poing in Germany. I was also in charge of caring for a rescue wolf at Tierheim München in Munich, Germany.

Giving misunderstood dogs a better chance at life is my ultimate mission. I continue to work with animal shelters across Australia to help train, foster and rehome rescue dogs.
