CAN YOU HELP WITH MY DOG?
Yes. I regularly help with:
Barking at visitors or noises
Pulling on the lead and difficult walks
Reactivity to dogs, people or generally, life!
Poor recall and not listening outdoors
Jumping up, overexcitement, or lack of focus
What to expect:
Most clients start seeing changes within the first few sessions, with lasting results built through a structured training plan and ongoing support.


HOW DOES IT WORK?
We offer a variety of training programmes, but typically:
Step 1: Behaviour Assessment
We identify what’s really driving your dog’s behaviour (not just the symptoms).
Step 2: Personalised Training Plan
You’ll get a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Step 3: Practical Training Sessions
We work together in real-life situations so your dog learns where it matters most.
Step 4: Ongoing Support
You’re not left on your own, support continues between sessions so progress sticks.
WHAT ARE THE RESUILTS?
When we all work together, you can expect:
Walks that feel calm instead of stressful
A dog that can focus around distractions
Reduced barking and better emotional control

FAQ
How long does dog training take?
Most dogs show improvement within the first few sessions, with lasting results built over several weeks depending on the behaviour.
Do you work with reactive or difficult dogs?
Yes. I support dogs struggling with reactivity, barking, and other behavioural challenges using ethical, force-free methods.
Do you use punishment or tools like prong collars?
No. Training is based on positive, evidence-based methods that protect your dog’s welfare and build trust.
Is 1:1 training better than classes?
For many behaviour issues, yes, because training is tailored specifically to your dog and environment. We do offer classes as well.
