Maree trained and worked for many years as an occupational therapist. She has worked in project management and clinical costing since leaving occupational therapy and is now dog training. Maree lives in the beautiful Macedon Ranges in Victoria.

After attending an obedience club with her first puppy, Maree felt there must be a kinder way to train than using the harsh corrections demonstrated in class. This began a lifelong passion to find effective but kind methods to train her own dogs, and eventually led to Maree passing her Pro Dog Trainer and PDT Geek (science of dog training) assessments in 2021 and PDT Genius (dog behaviour and training mechanics) assessment in 2023.
