Reactive dog training session in Newcastle NSW

Welcome, I’m Ruby (& Maize!), head trainer of Bully Boss Dog Training and fellow reactive dog owner, and if you’re here because you feel exhausted, embarrassed, overwhelmed or like you’ve run out of options with your dog — I understand that more than you think and I can help you rewrite this narrative.

Back when I adopted my own dog, I found myself in the exact same position. I had just rescued a dog, found out she was reactive and had no idea what I was doing. I felt isolated, I dreaded walks, and I constantly felt like nobody truly understood how hard it had become.

Since adopting my dog, I’ve immersed myself in canine behaviour and psychology, working hands-on with dogs of all temperaments and learning what truly creates lasting behavioural change in the real world.

What is my goal?

It’s simple. I want to help you permanently overcome your dog’s behavioural issues that are leaving you feeling defeated and unsure where to turn next. My method is honest, practical and provides proven real world results — not just temporary fixes.

Whether your dog struggles with reactivity, aggression or complete chaos on the lead, we can help.

You don’t need to be judged here — but you do need someone who knows how to help.

Here’s what our clients are saying

“The Bully Boss not only helped build my dog’s confidence but also mine! They showed me my dog can be trained to be comfortable around other dogs and people in outside environments. Cora and I have learnt so much during our training that we can implement into our everyday interactions. It’s like Cora is a different dog now! I highly recommend the Bully Boss to anyone who needs to build their trust and confidence with their dog. I love that it is an inviting and non-judgemental space.

Annika (Owner of Cora, human & dog reactive staffordshire terrier)

“The Bully Boss has been a saving grace for myself, Nim and our relationship. I reached out to Ruby at a time where I felt stuck and completely out of my depth with my new rescue. Ruby took us under her wing and helped to navigate all of the challenges as well as acknowledging all of the progress and success. Ruby’s wealth of knowledge has helped to build a life for Nim and I well beyond anything I imagined”

— Dacey (Owner of Nim, rescued Great Dane cross)

“Ruby has been absolutely amazing with our Aussie Bulldog, Biggie! When we first started, Biggie was a 2-year-old rescue with a lot to learn, but thanks to Ruby’s incredible support, patience, and skill, he’s made so much progress in such a short time. He absolutely loves Ruby and looks forward to every session. I’m so grateful for the confidence she’s helped build in us. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!.”

— Toni (Owner of Biggie, rescue dog reactive Bulldog)
