About Mary Puppins
Kirstin McGregor-Lowndes
Founder & Head Trainer
Kirstin is a nationally accredited NDTF certified dog trainer, as well as an experienced animal handler and carer, of over 24 years. Her passion is training dogs remotely with separation anxiety and watching them become calm confident dogs in the owners absence and puppy development.
Having worked with dogs in many different capacities, from dog grooming, dog walking, volunteering as a kennel hand with the RSPCA and in the Guide Dogs Australia kennels, Kirstin’s passion for working with dogs and animals eventually led her to establish Mary Puppins Brisbane in 2015.
