Overview

I’m an IMDT assessed and qualified dog trainer with almost seven years of professional experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds and backgrounds.

I have a particular passion for high-energy dogs, bull breeds and working breeds. I love helping owners understand how to channel their dog’s natural instincts and individual motivations in positive and appropriate ways.

My approach is ethical, science-backed and reward-based, with a strong focus on building motivation, communication and a trusting relationship between dog and owner. I believe training should be about more than simply teaching behaviours—it should help dogs feel fulfilled, confident and understood while giving owners the skills and knowledge to support them throughout their lives.

I have extensive experience working one-to-one with complex dogs, including reactivity, anxiety, over-arousal and other behavioural challenges.

My favourite part of training is discovering what motivates an individual dog and finding ways to work with their natural instincts. Creating appropriate outlets for their breed and personality can be incredibly rewarding—not only for the dog, but for the relationship they share with their owner.

I became a trainer because I wanted to make a genuine, positive difference to the lives of both dogs and the people who care for them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important our dogs are to our families, and I’m passionate about helping owners build the knowledge, confidence and practical skills they need to enjoy a fulfilling life together.
