Collection: Jim Fraser

Jim Fraser was a professional dog trainer for more than two decades, after resigning from the NSW Police Force to establish a private security company utilising dogs.

This evolved into an interest in kennels and dealing with behavioural problems for domestic pets through home training programs at which he had a close-up look at dogs in a family situation. He operated a canine behaviour clinic for the NSW RSPCA and was a consultant to the Guide Dogs for the Blind. He co-authored My Dog, a canine behaviour guide with veterinarian, the late Dr Pam Tinslay. Jim’s work with dogs was brought to a sudden halt after a motor cycle accident.

He also runs a successful goalkeeping clinic, and oversees the Women’s NPL, Academy and Goalkeeper development programs for Western Sydney Wanderers. He has previously worked with the Australian and Philippines national football teams. He played football in the NSW state league and played ten games for the Socceroos from 1973-74.
