For some dogs, the world can be a frightening and unpredictable place. Through understanding, compassionate training methods, and tailored behaviour modification programmes, I can help you and your dog navigate the fears associated with various life events and situations, empowering you both to face the world with confidence!

My goal is to help you and your family understand your dog’s unique nature and build a relationship based on mutual trust. Every dog is different, and I bring a wealth of knowledge from my long and successful career.

I approach each situation with empathy and compassion, aiming to understand the challenges you face with your dog, your family, and your household needs. I develop clear path to progress, along with an achievable step-by-step programme, using a variety of rewards, all grounded in science-based, force-free training methods to shape and reinforce desired behaviours. There are no harsh techniques that rely on consequences, correction, or intimidation tactics.

My training programs create a logical plan. Instead of focusing on what your dog may be doing “wrong”, and trying to correct it, I teach you how to set your dog up for success and shape new behaviours. You will learn how to manage your environment, reinforce the the behaviours you want, and learn what to do with the behaviours you can’t ‘ignore’. 

I will also teach you how to understand the role of the environment in your dog’s behaviour, helping you learn to manage it effectively. We use gradual exposure therapy, systematic desensitisation, and counter-conditioning to transform your dog’s negative associations into positive ones.
