Whether you’re looking to start your puppy off on the right paw, need expert guidance with behavior challenges, or want to fine-tune your dog’s skills, we’re here to help!
As a Qualified Canine Behaviour Specialist, I’m here to help you address your dog’s behavior challenges with proven, reinforcement based techniques. Whether you're dealing with common issues or more complex behavioral concerns, I work with you and your dog to create lasting solutions that strengthen your bond and bring peace to your home.
Here are just a few of the common behavior complaints I can help with:
-
My dog pulls on the lead: Does your dog drag you during walks? We’ll teach your dog loose-leash walking skills, making outings more enjoyable for both of you.
-
My dog barks at other people and dogs: Is your dog overly reactive or barking at others during walks? Together, we can work on reducing this and teaching your dog more appropriate ways to greet others.
-
My dog doesn’t like being left alone: Separation anxiety is a common issue. I’ll guide you through gradual desensitization and provide strategies to help your dog feel more comfortable when you're away.
-
My dog jumps up on people: If your dog greets guests with enthusiastic jumping, I’ll help you teach polite greetings and create better habits.
-
My dog has trouble listening or following cues: Whether it’s basic obedience or more advanced skills, I’ll work with you to improve your dog’s responsiveness and build a foundation for better communication.
-
My dog is fearful or anxious: Fearful behavior can lead to many issues, from hiding to aggression. I’ll help you address your dog’s fears through gentle, confidence-building techniques.
No matter the challenge, my training methods are rooted in science backed methods, focusing on building trust and creating a happier, well-behaved dog. Together, we’ll make real progress and ensure that your dog becomes the well-mannered companion you’ve always wanted.

How many sessions will I need?This is a question we get asked often and there is no set answer - it depends on how many you would like! We do not pretend to come and change your dog's behaviour in one hour but we will give you the techniques and plan required to do this yourselves.
