Chiara Perri

Business Owner and Qualified Professional Trainer and Behavioural Trainer

My passion for animals has been with me as far back as I can remember and my career with animals actually started in the early 90’s where I worked as a veterinary nurse at the West Brunswick Vet Clinic. While working there, we launched our very first puppy preschool program and continued to run them regularly for the next 10 years.

Having then moved to Point Cook, I found myself to be the only positive dog trainer in the Western suburbs at that point so in 2001 I resigned from the veterinary practice and I registered Point Cook Dog Training as a business. I started running my own puppy classes at home for various veterinary clinics and eventually adult dog classes at a local community centre in Point Cook.

Eventually we opened up the training centre in Hoppers Crossing offering a variety of services including day care, agility, nose works and all levels of training.

During the day I work with behaviour cases such as anxiety and aggression as well as private lessons for the common issues such as pulling on leash or not coming back when called.

I am a mindDog trainer and Assessor for Victoria and I am a Fear Free Accredited trainer.

I have a menagerie of creatures, furred, feathered and scaled, from chickens, to lizards and turtles, fish and horses, all of which at some stage in their lives, have had some form of training and shaped who I am today as a trainer!

Bean, the Border Terrier is my newest addition to the family!
