Welcome to Murph & Me

Force-Free Dog Training + Behaviour

I’m Amber-Jade and I’m here to help you truly understand your dog. At Murph & Me compassion leads the way. This is a safe and supportive space where every dog is seen as an individual and every guardian feels supported.
Dogs are the heart of my work and my commitment to continuous growth means your dog receives ethical and humane force-free and evidence-based training. No fear. No pain. No punishment. No shock collars. No prongs. No shouting. No aversive tools. Only communication & trust.

My goal is to help you understand your dog’s emotions and body language as well as how to meet their needs in this very human world they live in. I will help you build a stronger bond with your companion and teach you how to guide them with confidence and kindness. There are no quick fixes but together we will turn challenges into connection and create a relationship you and your dog can be proud of one step at a time.

I look forward to working with you and walking this journey with you and your dog.

OUR TRAINING METHOD

At Murph & Me, working with your dog is built on understanding, empathy and clear communication. We use positive reinforcement to reward the behaviour we want to see more of, supported by motivators like food, toys, praise and play. Every dog learns differently, so each plan is tailored to their needs, personality and emotional state.

WHAT OUR clients SAY

I would recommend Amber-Jade to any one struggling with Behaviour Issues or just Obedience issues. Her level of commitment and care is something I could not describe. I have been around the block with various trainers, but I am grateful to have met Amber-Jade. She truly has a deeper connection with animals.

Gwynzel

Amber is exceptionally patient and an absolute delight to work with, making the training experience both enjoyable and effective. Her expertise truly shines through in every session.

When it came to walking our dog, Olive, Amber provided invaluable guidance. She taught us numerous tips and tricks to significantly reduce Olive’s pulling on the lead, transforming our walks. Amber’s insights into dog behavior were eye-opening and we learned how to better understand and respond to Olive’s cues.

Overall, Amber’s compassionate, knowledgeable approach not only improved Olive’s walking skills but also deepened our connection with her. We wholeheartedly recommend Murph & Me to anyone seeking the best in force-free dog training.

Marianna

I am so beyond grateful to have met Amber-Jade and been lucky enough to have her help me and my furbabies on our journey. I had absolutely no hope and felt completely overwhelmed with my reactive doggy. I thought I had tried everything but then I met Amber-Jade and learnt an entire new world. A world where both me and dogs can thrive.

I have two very different babies — one very reactive and the other a little sensitive. I learnt techniques and tools to have fun with my dogs again and not feel helpless. Amber-Jade is just the best support and most caring individual. She really goes the extra mile to help and solve any problems.

Jess

I would recommend Murph & Me to any and every family who is in need of a dog behaviouralist. Amber-Jade is extremely caring and truly wants the best for your dog. Her weekly check in’s makes me as a dog owner feel very supported and her advice helps a lot!

Suné

We couldn’t be happier with the work Amber did with our pitbulls. In a short amount of time, she helped them adjust and become fully desensitised before our newborn arrived. She was consistently warm, welcoming, and incredibly easy to talk to. Her support made the whole process feel stress-free. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and skilled dog trainer.
