Our Mission:
At IdaBoss Dog Training, our mission is to help dogs and their humans thrive through positive reinforcement, force-free training that builds trust, confidence, and lasting results. We take a holistic, compassionate approach, recognising the whole dog - their emotions, environment, and individual needs - to create calm, connected partnerships.
Every session is grounded in kindness, science, and respect for the dog in front of us.
How can we help?
We are a compassionate, Force-Free & Science-Based Dog Trainer servicing the residents of North Brisbane.

Founded in 2021, we offer a variety of packages that focus on pet communication and science-based behavioral theory. No matter what service you book with us, you’re guaranteed to learn everything there is to know about raising a respectful and problem-free pet.
At IdaBoss Dog Training, our aim is to provide real solutions to the most common challenges that pet owners face. Through expert behavioral coaching and applying kind, approachable, and humane principles, we are here to help you alleviate all of that unwanted owner stress.
​
Whether you're interested in preventing problem behaviours from developing with your new puppy, have a rambunctious teen that just won’t settle, or are in the thick of trying to manage a dog with fear, anxiety, or aggression – we have the training solutions you need.
Ida & Boss: The Namesakes of IdaBoss Dog Training
Meet your Trainer
Jody
Founder & Head Trainer CPDT-KA
Hi, I’m Jody - a certified Family Dog Mediator with Advanced Certification in Canine Reactive Behaviours. I’m passionate about helping dogs and their humans build strong, lasting relationships through compassionate, science-based training.
My approach is grounded in seeing each dog as an individual, and I have a special interest in supporting reactive, anxious, and misunderstood dogs to thrive. I’m also deeply committed to assistance dog training, helping create skilled, reliable canine partners who can bring greater independence, confidence, and support to the people who need them most.
For me, dog training is about far more than teaching behaviours - it’s about improving lives, strengthening relationships, and creating harmony at both ends of the leash.
​
The heart behind IdaBoss Dog Training comes from two very special Rottweilers who changed the course of my life. Firstly, there was Boss. He was the dog who first inspired me to become a trainer. He came to me at five years old carrying deep fears and reactivity, and helping him find safety, confidence, and trust was a truly life-changing experience. He opened my eyes to the power of compassionate, evidence-based training and sparked the passion that led me into this work. And then there was Ida - my soul dog, my sidekick, and a huge part of the reason IdaBoss became what it is. Ida inspired me every day with her presence, her resilience, and the bond we shared. Following her passing, her name remains at the heart of this business not only as a tribute to the incredible dog she was, but also to honour the impact she had on my life, my journey, and the work I do with other dogs and their people. IdaBoss Dog Training carries both Ida's & Boss' legacies forward.
​
Outside of training, I’m a proud Mum and Grandma to two wonderful kids and four beautiful grandsons. Whether you’re navigating reactivity, looking for support with an assistance dog, or simply wanting to build a better relationship with your dog, I’m here to help - without judgement, with empathy, and always guided by science.
