I am just about to start my Level 6 Canine Advanced Behaviour course

My training approach is positive, structured, and evidence-based, focusing on clarity, consistency, and communication rather than force or punishment. I believe dogs learn best when they understand what is being asked of them and feel supported throughout the process.

I offer:

Small, structured group puppy classes (maximum of six dogs per class)

1:1 training sessions tailored to your dog’s individual needs

A calm, supportive learning environment for both dogs and owners

Keeping class numbers low allows me to minimise distractions, provide individual guidance, and ensure every dog and owner feels confident and supported.

My background as a veterinary nurse allows me to take a holistic approach to training, always considering a dog’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, and developmental stage. I am fully insured and proud to have 5⭐ Google reviews, reflecting my commitment to high-quality training and client support.

Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, navigating adolescent challenges, or looking to improve everyday skills, my goal is to help you build a strong, calm, and confident relationship with your dog — setting you both up for long-term success.
