Meet Your Trainer

Hi, I'm Grace — founder of Graceful Little Paws and certified trainer through internationally renowned positive reinforcement dog trainer Victoria Stillwell.

I've spent over a decade working hands-on with dogs, using force-free, science-backed techniques that actually get results.

What makes me especially proud? The trust I've earned from renowned veterinarians who regularly recommend my services to their clients. But more importantly—I teach owners how to become calm, confident leaders their dogs trust and adore.

I believe training should be fun—for you and your dog. That's why I focus on positive reinforcement, building a trust-based connection to achieve practical results you can see.

If you're ready to build a calmer, happier relationship with your pup—I'd love to help guide you there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do sessions happen?

Sessions are held in your home (and can also include front yard/street work for lead walking, depending on your dog and goals). I service most Inner Melbourne suburbs.

How many sessions will we need?

Some owners see big improvement in 1–2 sessions for manners training. Behaviour concerns like reactivity or separation anxiety usually need an ongoing plan + follow-up sessions for best results.
