I can help!
The sheer volume of dog training and behaviour advice can be overwhelming and inconsistent, often leading to frustration and worsening issues. Seeking help from a qualified behaviourist and trainer professionally qualified with science-based knowledge allows you to relax and focus on your dog with confidence.
Behavioural first aid is designed for dogs without a bite history, offering practical, supportive guidance to manage daily challenges, reduce risks, and build confidence. Many dogs, especially those with reactivity, can benefit from tailored techniques and new approaches to training.
Positive reinforcement training is not about quick fixes or gimmicks. It avoids aversive methods and gadgets, which research shows can worsen problems. Instead, it focuses on building trust and addressing underlying issues. In some cases, deeper problems linked to anxiety or trauma may require a broader clinical approach and rehabilitation.
I work exclusively one-on-one with clients to ensure personalized care and attention. We use detailed fact finding discussions and thorough consultations to get a comprehensive look at your and your dog’s situation.
I evaluate the whole picture to get a holistic overview of you and your dogs unique situation. This multi-faceted approach aims to improve your dog’s whole quality of life.
Flexible options include online sessions with email or phone check-ins to fit in around your lifestyle and commitments. My goal is to help you and your dog achieve long-term success.
