Canine By Design

Joe Conway NZQA CAM-CBT (Certified Professional Dog Trainer) ​ I am a graduate of the New Zealand Certificate in Animal Management - Canine Behaviour and Training. Committed to providing the most effective, convenient and science-backed training solutions for my clients’ dog training needs, I avidly pursue ongoing education and professional development by attending several seminars per year and keeping current on all industry literature. At Canine by Design, I put my clients' needs first, and promote and use Positive Reinforcement based training methods. ​ I have spent time both working and volunteering at the SPCA, South Auckland Puppy Surrender, and Auckland Council both in the Henderson Dog Shelter, as a Barking Consultant and in my current role as an Animal Management Officer. ​ I work in with Chained Dog Rehoming and Rehabilitation and ARAN Rescue, fostering and training dogs that need some 'extra' guidance before going on to their forever homes. ​ When I'm not helping clients to enjoy easier lives with their canine companions, I enjoy competing in Rally-O and Obedience with my own dog Pippa, and I'm a current member of the NorWest Dog Training Club.
