Training & Behaviour
I support dogs and their owners with both training and behaviour work, using kind, force-free methods.
Training focuses on teaching your dog new skills and behaviours—such as walking on a loose lead, coming back when called, or learning basic cues. Behavioural work addresses your dog’s emotional responses to different situations. This may include managing reactivity or separation anxiety, which are particularly common during adolescence. While I work with dogs of all ages, my expertise lies in supporting the emotional and developmental needs of younger dogs, helping them build confidence, social skills, and appropriate behaviours as they mature.
I offer in-person services across the Bournemouth & Poole area and also provide online training to clients around the world—from Aberdeen to Arizona—so no matter where you are, we can work together.
I am proud to be a member of leading dog training institutions in the UK, and I am committed to ongoing professional development. Above all, I believe in using the most up-to-date, fear-free training methods, ensuring that learning is enjoyable and rewarding for both you and your dog.
1:1 in-person session
Whether your dog is struggling with separation anxiety, lack of recall, or frustration-based reactivity, I’m here to help. I specialise in working with puppies (up to 6 months) and adolescent dogs (up to 3 years), particularly those experiencing frustration or excitement-driven behaviours, such as pulling, barking, or lunging at other dogs. While I do work with reactivity, my focus is on frustration or excitement, rather than fear-based reactivity.
I take a holistic approach to training, ensuring your dog is set up for success. We’ll focus on teaching your dog what to do, rather than punishing mistakes. Using positive reinforcement, your dog will learn through praise and rewards.
Together, we’ll also explore what’s driving your dog’s behaviour, so we can address the root cause and create a sustainable plan for improvement.
Each session includes a detailed follow-up email with next steps, so you can refer back as needed and continue progressing.

1:1 online session
You don’t need to meet in person to see amazing results with your dog. In fact, online training can often be more effective, as your dog doesn’t have to deal with the excitement (or anxiety!) of meeting a new person.
Online training also means you can access support from a certified professional, no matter where you are in the world. Geographical location is no longer a barrier to working with a fear-free trainer who uses the latest, science-based methods.
Our work together will focus on understanding the motivation behind your dog’s behaviours and teaching you how to address the root cause of any challenges. Each session is followed by a detailed email outlining your training plan, so you can continue making progress with clear next steps.
