About me
Your Dog’s Best Friend
With over 14 years dedicated to understanding and helping dogs, I’ve had the privilege of transforming countless lives. As a dog trainer and behaviourist, I’m passionate about creating harmonious relationships between owners and their pets.
I’ve worked tirelessly to stay at the forefront of canine behaviour, ensuring my methods are always aligned with the latest scientific research. My mission is simple: to empower owners with the knowledge and tools to create a happy, well-behaved dog.
I believe in clear, straightforward advice, delivered with a friendly smile. My force-free approach focuses on positive reinforcement, helping dogs learn through reward rather than punishment.
What sets me apart is my personal journey. I’ve walked in your shoes, experiencing the frustration of dealing with challenging dog behaviour. This first hand experience fuels my determination to help others overcome similar obstacles.
I’m committed to providing exceptional support, going beyond the training sessions to offer guidance and reassurance. My goal is to create a lasting impact on both you and your dog’s life.
Let’s work together to build a brighter future for your furry friend.
A Passion for Canine Behaviour
My journey into professional dog training was significantly influenced by renowned experts in the field. The foundational principles of my training approach were shaped by the invaluable insights of Ian Dunbar and Roger Abrantes. Their work on canine behaviour and training methodologies provided a solid framework for my understanding of dogs.
To further enhance my skills, I delved into the intricacies of canine communication. Workshops with Turid Rugaas and Brenda Aloff were instrumental in developing my ability to interpret canine body language and understand their emotional states. This knowledge is essential for building trust and effective relationships with dogs.
To deepen my understanding of specific dog behaviours and training techniques, I have attended numerous workshops and seminars focused on:
- Puppy development and socialisation: Ensuring a strong foundation for young dogs.
- Separation anxiety: Helping dogs cope with alone time.
- Aggression: Understanding and addressing aggressive behaviours.
- Reactivity: Managing dogs who react fearfully or aggressively to triggers.
- Canine enrichment: Providing mental and physical stimulation for dogs.
This comprehensive understanding of canine behaviour, combined with a deep-rooted passion for helping dogs and their owners, has enabled me to develop a training approach that is both effective and compassionate.
