About..
Bringing home a shelter puppy was meant to be simple - instead, I found myself caring for a very sensitive, reactive and under-socialised dog with needs far beyond my experience. What felt overwhelming at first became the start of my greatest passion: helping dogs live calmer, happier and more fulfilling lives. As I began learning more about canine behaviour, body language and learning theory I realised something important:
WE, the humans, need more training than our dogs.
Understanding how dogs communicate, how they learn, their body language and how to recognise how they are feeling transformed my relationship with my own dog and her behaviour improved dramatically once I knew how to support her.
​
Every dog is an individual, with their own emotions, histories, genetics and personalities. When we understand them, we build trust, confidence and truly wonderful, bonded relationships.
My role as a trainer is to help you achieve exactly that.
