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?
Step 1: Get in Touch
Tell me about you and your dog, what you're struggling with and what you'd like help with. We'll work out which service is the best fit for you.
Step 2: Understand Your Dog
We'll take the time to understand your dog's behaviour, their individual needs and what's happening beneath the surface.
Step 3: Create a Plan
You'll have a clear, personalised approach designed around your dog, your lifestyle and your goals.
Step 4: Train for Real Life
We'll build practical skills and work together in the situations that matter to you and your dog.
Step 5: Feel Supported
You'll have support along the way, with guidance between sessions so you can keep building on your progress at home and in everyday life.
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
Reliable recall in real-world environments
More confidence, for both you and your dog
WHAT ARE YOUR SERVICES?
We offer tailored 1:1 training, supportive group classes and carefully managed dog social groups, helping you build confidence, connection and practical skills with your dog.

WHERE DO YOU TRAIN?
Our dog training sessions start in your home to work on real-life behaviour in a familiar environment, before progressing to outdoor training in parks, cafés, and secure fields for real-world behaviour and socialisation.

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.
