– Director

Jasmine Judge, sole Director and founder of Westside Paws, is a Qualified Dog Trainer with Gentle Dog Trainers Association (GDTA) of Australia 2012.

New Zealand born, Wife to Richard, Mother to Harrison (7) and Nikita (5).  Proudly owned by Ally, 14 yr old Cavoodle, Ernie, 8yr old Bernese Mountain Dog and Ian, 3yr old German Shepherd. The late (Bert) still remains close to her heart.

After moving to Australia from New Zealand, whilst working in the hospitality industry, she began furthering her interest and love of dogs into a career by completing her dog trainer qualifications with the GDTA at Kintala Club.

Whilst working for companies that provided dog walking, pet minding and training, Loose Lead Pets became a dream that she decided to turn into reality.

Westside Paws was born in 2022.

Loose Lead Pets was sold in January 2023.

The primary focus of Westside paws is to help more people help more dogs in more ways than one. Offering a personalised service, WSP offers Puppy School, Puppy Play, Dog training, and Pet Aromatherapy and has a fabulous online shop supplying top-quality pet treats, training gear and products we know, love and trust.

We endorse positive reinforcement methods, as extensive research has proven that this is the only successful way forward in dog training and fostering rewarding relationships between animals and their humans. We are “reward based” “force free” and work entirely on trust, respect and understanding your pet.

This is the core belief and principle of Westside Paws.
