Andrea Bates - Dog Training Cairns

Call your local expert for dog training and puppy management- Cairns


Hi, my name is Andrea and I have been your local dog trainer in the Cairns and Surrounding Districts for over 5 years.

I have always had an affinity with dogs. Growing up I treasured our black Labrador 'Pepper', who never seemed to mind having sand piled on her as we played in the sandpit or taking the younger kids for rides on her back! She was a truly gentle soul. Later we acquired 'Bruiser', our lively Miniature Fox Terrier. The garbage man was a huge fan, as every collection day Bruiser would race alongside his truck as he drove up the street. Of course Bruiser always won and I still remember the look of joy on that garbo’s face at having been beaten by a dog!

In my early twenties I met and fell in love with the ball obsessed, Border Collie. My first Border Collie, 'Timmy' was the strong but silent type and lived to the ripe old age of 16. My second Border Collie, 'Ziggy' who lives with us today loves practising obedience and agility.

For many years I worked in an extremely stressful environment, in 2005 I realised I needed a career change. Around this same time, I acquired a rescue dog from a puppy mill. 'Monty' the Maltese X had numerous behavioural issues, including nuisance barking, food aggression, pulling on lead and dog aggression. Despite all the experience I had raising and training dogs, Monty seemed too far gone. Conventional training methods and group obedience did not seem to help at all.

I discovered there were no dog trainers in the Cairns and Tablelands Districts that specialised in treating behavioural problems in the dog’s home environment. It was then that I had a light bulb moment. My new career path as a dog trainer was staring me in the face. I contacted Bark Busters Head Office about coming on board as a Bark Buster Dog Behaviourist after I had heard of their unique home based dog training program from a relative who had used the service to stop their Jack Russell from escaping. The rest as they say is history.

I am proud to say that today, Monty is a reformed character. He is cured of his nuisance barking, I can now take food away from him, he walks beautifully at heel and I often take him on lessons with me when I am helping to train and rehabilitate other dogs with socialisation issues!
What I love most about my career is the look of amazement on my client’s faces when they see immediate improvement in their dog’s behaviour after only the first session. When I leave a client’s house I know that I have helped a dog and his owner achieve a more rewarding relationship as well as restored balance to their household.

If you need any assistance with your dog’s behavioural issues or you just want to look to improve your dog’s basic obedience please don’t hesitate to contact me, your local Bark Buster Dog Trainer on Freecall

Some of Our Clients Have Said...

I have loathed taking Hugo on a walk since he was 4mths so to be able to go out in public without the embarrassment of wrestling with my dog the whole walk is AMAZING. The neighbours remarked on how Hugo's behaviour had changed for the better already. Hugo has always tried to chase their lovely cat and just about rip my shoulder out of the socket to try to get to the cat. However, Hugo walked calmly on lead with me to talk to them on their front lawn. Hugo looked at the cat but did not try and lunge for it. You have given us hope when I thought we had made a terrible mistake getting a puppy. We only wish we had known about you when Hugo was 4mths to try and stop all his naughtiness and show us how to do it.

We were very pleased that we started this process when Oscar was a puppy. It has made it more enjoyable as we have prevented many of the issues before they arise. Andrea has been marvellous and we have already recommended her.
