Why choose me?
Positivity
Instead of just focusing on your dog's 'bad bits', I help you embrace their uniqueness. Once you start to see your dog for the amazing individual they are, you can work in partnership with them, rather than against them.
Compassion
I understand how hard it is when you're struggling with your dog's training. I've been there and I can empathise! That's why all my packages include ongoing support and feedback; I'm here to help, not to judge you as an owner.
Knowledge
I take a behaviour-driven approach to training based on the latest scientific research. I love to learn, so you can count on me to only use the most up-to-date ethical methods and maintain a high professional standard.
When you work with me you're getting more than just my time. You also benefit from...
My experience
My practical experience has allowed me to develop a huge catalogue of training techniques from which I can pick and choose depending on what works best for you and your dog. In addition, my work with local and national rescue organisations, who I help with training and carrying out assessments, has given me a unique understanding of the specific challenges associated with rescue dogs. I also have personal experience of rehabilitating and living with my own two rescue dogs.
​
My qualifications
I hold a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour Management and am currently working towards a Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Animal Behaviour Management with Compass Education. This means you and your dog will benefit from my thorough understanding of canine behaviour theory as well as my practical training skills.
​
My professionalism
I am a student member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC), which means you can be sure I will adhere to strict ethical and professional standards.
​
Insurance
I hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance with PBI, so you can be reassured we're covered for every eventuality.
