Life with your dog should be a joy, not a chore!
After all, you got a dog for companionship and so you could do fun stuff together, right?
Sometimes, though, things don't quite go to plan (I know, I've been there!).
Maybe training your dog turned out to be harder than you expected, or they developed a behaviour problem and it's really getting you down.
All you want is to enjoy spending time with your dog, rather than feeling frustrated, embarrassed or even worried about their behaviour.
You can have the life you want with your dog
That's where I come in...
Forget about the conflicting information you found online or the 'helpful' advice from that bloke down the park – your dog is an individual, and you need help from someone who really gets them.
​
I offer bespoke one-to-one training and behaviour packages that are perfectly tailored to you and your unique dog. No one-size-fits-all solutions or gimmicky 'hacks' here – just proven, effective methods based on a deep, holistic understanding of canine behaviour.​​​​
As an experienced rescue-dog-owner and a qualified dog trainer and clinical behaviourist, I not only understand what you're going through – I also have the knowledge, skills and experience to help you achieve meaningful change.
Thanks to my qualifications and practical experience working with clients as well as volunteering at a local rescue centre, I have developed a huge catalogue of tried-and-tested training techniques. This means I can adapt your programme depending on what works best for you and your dog.
​​
Not only that, I have personal experience of loving and living with dogs with behaviour problems and other training issues, so believe me when I say I know exactly how you're feeling!
​​​As a Provisional Clinical Animal Behaviourist member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors* you can also count on me to adhere to strict ethical and professional standards and keep up to date with the latest research in the area of dog behaviour and training.
​
This also means you may be able to claim for my behaviour services on your pet insurance – though this will depend on your insurance provider and individual policy.

Why choose me?
Embracing Individuality
Instead of just focusing on how your dog isn't like 'normal' dogs, I help you understand what makes them special. That way we can harness their unique skills and personality and channel them into achieving your goals.
Compassion and Support
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.
Progress, Not Perfection
Dogs are living creatures, and just like us they make mistakes sometimes! It's okay if your dog doesn't always get it right – our aim is to achieve positive change while also allowing them to be 'perfectly canine'.
