Jill Hamilton

My name is Jillian Hamilton and I am the founder of A Walk in the Bark. This business is a passionate project that was inspired back in 2013 when I took my first ‘pet professional course’ at The Centre for Canine Education (TCCE) even before I got my first puppy Kobe, in 2014. 

I spent the next several months, entranced in books on animal behaviour and psychology. This research led me to take further courses on positive reinforcement training and I knew then, that not only was I going to apply these techniques with my dog, but that it would become a staple in my work with animals, and just like that a ‘Walk in the Bark’ was formed!

Since our inception, I have continued to take courses to ensure I am able to provide the best care for your pets in your absence, some of which include; ‘Walk and Wags pet first aid & off the grid training (recertification every 3 years)’, ‘Dog walking Certification’ (2019 March),  ‘Karen Pryor Academy: Dog Foundations Course  (Nov 2021).

I am trustworthy and passionate about providing your dog with the highest quality of care during your absence and I look forward to caring for your pets as if they were my own!
