Hi, I’m Amanda – your local, force-free dog trainer in Crawley, West Sussex (near Gatwick).
I help puppies, adolescent dogs, and their owners build calmer, happier lives together using kind, effective training that works in the real world.

With years of experience and a focus on science-based, reward-led methods, I offer a range of dog training services across Crawley and surrounding areas, including:

• Puppy training (8 weeks to 9 months)

• Next steps / adolescent dog training

• One-to-one training for reactivity issues

• Canine Hoopers classes

• Dog wedding chaperone services

• Dynamic Dog assessments for pain-related behaviour

Helping dogs who are struggling – not just misbehaving

I’m a qualified Dynamic Dog Practitioner, which means I’m trained to spot the subtle signs that your dog’s behaviour might be caused by pain or discomfort.

Many dogs are labelled “difficult” when they’re actually hurting — and a study by Daniel Mills found that around 80% of dogs showing behaviour problems had undiagnosed pain.

My in-depth assessments explore your dog’s movement, posture, and full background. I’ll review video and photo evidence, make detailed notes, and create a professional report for you and your vet — giving you the clearest path forward.

Real-life training that puts your dog first

Whether your dog is pulling on the lead, struggling with recall, or lacking confidence, I’m here to help with positive, practical training. Every session is personalised and rooted in your dog’s wellbeing.

A little more about me

When I’m not training, I’m usually walking or working with my own two dogs — a Labrador x Collie and a Labrador x Pointer (probably!). I also juggle a busy family life with two boys, do aerial hoop classes and occasionally help run national-level karate competitions behind the scenes!

I’m proud to be a member of The Dog Trainer School, committed to upholding the highest standards of modern, ethical dog training — including continued professional development, collaboration with other trainers, and prioritising the wellbeing of both dogs and their humans.
