To give each client the best support, I only take on a small number of dogs at any one time.
I use kind, practical and positive training tailored to your individual dog. My approach focuses on clear communication, positive reinforcement and rewarding the behaviours you want to see more of.
I do not use harsh punishment or intimidation.
Every dog is different, which is why I focus on finding practical, positive solutions that work for both you and your dog.

We’ve all been there. You lace up your trainers, grab the lead and go out the door with visions of a peaceful, breezy stroll. Your dog sits nicely while you clip on the lead.

Bringing a rescue dog into your home is exciting, rewarding and can even be a little overwhelming. You’re perhaps picturing long walks, cuddles on the sofa and watching your new dog settle into family life.

Bringing a new puppy home is exciting, but it can also feel like living with a curious toddler! Puppies explore the world with their mouths, noses and paws, so ordinary household items can quickly become tempting things to investigate, chew or swallow.
