Lead Trainer - Tom Wright

Tom’s love and passion for dog behaviour started in 2009 whilst travelling South-East Asia. With so many street dogs in dire conditions, he couldn’t just stand back and watch the suffering so the travels turned into a volunteering mission. He got stuck into shelter work - feeding the dogs, washing the new arrivals and tending to them in any way he could. He became fascinated with how the animals interacted with each other and humans.

Fast forward 12 years and Tom is now a fully qualified Fear-Free Certified Trainer, a Separation Anxiety Pro Trainer and a member of PPGA.

Tom has successfully gained his Certificate IV in Companion Animals Services with the Delta Institute, joining a small cohort of revered Delta qualified trainers around Australia.

Tom has been volunteering for Project Underdog Rescue for the past 4 years, firstly as a Case Manager and now leads the Project Underdog Rescue behaviour team. This involves assessing dogs, providing behaviour modification plans to foster carers and providing Post-Adoption Care to all PUR alumni!
