How I work...
My approach as a trainer and behaviourist is built on understanding. Every behaviour your dog shows has a reason behind it, and by exploring why that behaviour is being expressed means we can address the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
I use science-based training methods that are kind and teach your dog the behaviours we want to see instead of letting them learn the hard way by only correcting them when they do the behaviours we don’t want to see.
The reason I started my work with dogs is because they are widely misunderstood so your dog’s welfare will always be my priority and I’ll work with you in a way that not only supports your goals as an owner but also ensures your dog feels safe and at ease throughout the training process.
Together, we can set realistic expectations and create a plan that’s achievable for both ends of the lead!
Why should you work with me?
Because I honestly get it. Life with dogs can be chaotic, overwhelming, joyful and heart-melting all at once but I’m here to help you through it.
- Judgement free help – no matter what you previously have tried, all we are going to focus on is how we are going to move forward, were all only human at the end of the day!
- Support outside of your sessions – my packages include WhatsApp support for that ongoing guidance.
- Tailored plans – Every session is customized to fit your dog’s needs, your goals, and your lifestyle.
- Proven, Reward based methods – I will only use kind, modern, science-backed techniques that build trust and create real lasting sustainable results.
- I’m as honest as it gets! – I don’t believe in setting unrealistic expectations and that’s because I don’t want to waste your time and money on something I don’t believe is achievable. Every dog is an individual and while training and behaviour work can lead to amazing progress, it can’t turn your dog into something they are not.

Behaviour Coaching Packages
Are you struggling with your dog’s reactivity or anxieties? Now this may be where your dog needs behavioural coaching rather than standard dog training. Rather than just teaching your dog something new – behaviour coaching focuses on understanding and changing the emotions motivating your dog’s behaviour. It’s not about implementing rules and boundaries but guiding your dog to make better decisions and help them feel better and calmer about a situation in order for us to change their emotional response which may be barking, growling or lunging.
