 Owner's of K9 FUNdamentals

Fiona

Coupled with my lifelong passion and love for animals, I became a certified dog trainer in 2016.  My qualifications include:

Prior to starting K9 FUNdamentals, my career had been spent working in the corporate space. The majority of roles were at a senior level in change management, sales and continuous improvement. 

My most memorable and gratifying role was working with Starship Hospital as a Project Manager, redesigning the patient and staff flow for Pre and Post Operation process. Working with staff, children and parents to deliver a great outcome was paramount.

Vince

As co-owner of K9 FUNdamentals, Fiona and I run our public classes and/or courses together as well my 1:1 training conducted with our clients. 

My background is similar to Fiona's having had a career in senior leadership roles within Corporate along with currently running my Leadership & Career Development consultancy. For me, having the privilege of working directly with humans and canines is the perfect combination.

At home, our whānau includes three rescue dogs - Luka, Flynn and Bailee as well as our cats Steve & Maisie.  We all happily live together on our beautiful property where we also train from.

We are both members of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers New Zealand (APDTNZ).
