Michelle Blackman is the head trainer and owner of Port Paws Dog Training, in Port Douglas.

She combines her love for dogs with her passion for training, to provide focused outcomes for the overall wellbeing of your dog.

Dog Training Classes

Group classes are a fantastic way to spend time with your dog. Learn ways to enhance your dog training skills, teach your dog to be social and more.
There is no need to wait, you can join our on-going classes at anytime!

Private Sessions

Suited to those who prefer a more personal approach or require a customised dog training program for behaviour or obedience challenges.

We can provide personalised training to suit you and your dog's needs.

"For me, a dog trainer should be open minded, curious to learn, adaptive, a quick thinker, patient and respectful of the dog's feelings and emotions as well as its motivation to work, and Michelle is all of the above."

"Michelle's training approach to our pup is perfect and exactly what we need! She's given us more confidence when we take our pup out and about and it's grown our relationship with him too! She's been amazing to deal with and it's a bonus that our boy loves her visits too! Thank you 🙂 "

"If you're wondering whether you would benefit from doing some training with your dog....Do it! Its a wonderful thing to do and builds for a great bond between you and your dog. I really cant recommend Michelle Blackman enough. 🙂 "

"I highly recommend Michelle as a dog trainer. With her professional help, I found not only did I have a focused pup but my relationship with Buster and his behaviour in general has improved significantly. Her training is a worthwhile investment. Thanks Michelle "
