Training & Behaviour
I support dogs & their owners for both training and behaviour work. Training is about teaching your dog new behaviours – like walking on a loose lead, coming back when called or any basic command work. Behavioural work is about helping your dog with an emotional response. This may be reactivity or separation anxiety. Training and behaviour work often go hand in hand but since every dog is different, we will create an individual plan for your dog together. Whilst I work with dogs of all ages, I specialise in working with puppies and young dogs.
I offer in-person services across the Bournemouth & Poole area and also offer online training, which allows me to work with dogs around the world, and my clients stretch from Aberdeen to Arizona.
I am a member of some of the best dog training institutions in the UK so I am continually developing my knowledge as a professional. I believe passionately in using the most up to date, fear-free training methods so that learning is fun for both you and your dog.
1:1 in-person session
Whether your dog is experiencing separation anxiety, nervousness, lack of recall or anything between, I’m here to help. I take a holistic approach to training and we will work together to make sure we set your dog up for success and teach new ways to behave.
I employ purely fear-free training methods, where dogs learn through praise and positive reinforcement – never punishment. My methods focus on teaching the dog what to do rather than punishing them for making a wrong choice. We will also look at what is driving your dog’s behaviour.
All training sessions include a detailed follow up email, which will cover your next steps with your dog, meaning you can refer back as many times as you need to.

1:1 online session
We don’t have to meet in person for you to get amazing results with your dog. In many cases, online training is superior as your dog doesn’t have to contend with the excitement (or worry, depending on the dog!) of meeting a new person.
Online work also means you can have support from a certified professional wherever you are in the world, without geographical location limiting your access to a fear-free trainer with the most up to date and science-based training methods.
The work we do together will be focused on understanding the motivation behind your dog’s behaviours and teaching you to address the root cause of the problem and all sessions are proceeded by a detailed follow up email, detailing your training plan moving forwards.
