Helping you and your puppy find your feet together

Having a puppy is lovely, but let's be honest, it can be a bit overwhelming too! You're trying to do the right things, there's advice coming at you from every direction, and your adorable little puppy doesn't always seem to have read the same rulebook.

My puppy classes will help you make sense of it all. We'll work on practical skills for everyday life, including recall, lead walking and settling, while helping you understand how your puppy learns and how to support them as they grow.

The aim isn't to have a puppy who can perform a list of commands in class. It's to help you build a positive relationship, grow in confidence and develop skills you can use in the real world, long after the course has finished.

Classes are kept small, with a maximum of six puppies, so you have space to learn together. You'll receive handouts to help you practise at home, along with ongoing support when questions crop up between sessions.

Five weeks of puppy training for £95.

Helping you and your dog feel more confident together

Does your dog bark, lunge or struggle to cope when they see other dogs? Perhaps walks have become stressful, you're constantly scanning for other dogs, or you're never quite sure what to do when your dog reacts.

You're not alone, and your dog isn't giving you a hard time on purpose. There can be lots of reasons dogs find certain situations difficult, and understanding what's behind their behaviour is an important part of helping them.

My reactivity classes focus on helping you understand your dog, recognise what they need and learn practical ways to support them. We'll work at a pace that takes each dog's individual needs into account, using reward-based, welfare-led training rather than expecting dogs to simply put up with situations they find difficult.

With a maximum of four dogs in each class, there's more room to consider the needs of each dog and their person. You'll also receive handouts to help you practise between sessions, along with ongoing support as you work through things together.

Six weeks of reactivity training for £130.

If walks are feeling harder than they should, get in touch to discuss whether these classes are a suitable fit for you and your dog.

Individual support for you and your dog

If your dog's reactions are making walks stressful, you might be wondering whether group classes are the right place to start. Perhaps your dog needs more space, finds other dogs overwhelming, or struggles in situations that are difficult to recreate in a class.

One-to-one reactivity training gives us the opportunity to focus on you and your dog as individuals. We'll look at what's happening, consider what might be contributing to your dog's reactions and work on practical ways to help them feel safer, while helping you feel more confident handling everyday situations.

Training is reward-based and welfare-led, with your dog's needs at the centre of our sessions. We'll work at a pace that suits them, building skills you can gradually put into practice in real life rather than expecting them to cope with more than they're ready for.

The package includes six individual sessions that can be spread over a longer period, giving you time to practise between appointments and see how things are going before we build on what you've learned. You'll have individual guidance and support as you work towards making everyday life more manageable for both of you.

Six one-to-one reactivity sessions for £285, with flexibility to spread the sessions out.

If you're struggling with your dog's reactions and would like individual support, get in touch by email or WhatsApp to talk about your dog and whether this package would be a good fit.

Helping you feel more confident living life with your dog

You love your dog, but sometimes life together isn't quite how you imagined it. Maybe walks are a battle, recall seems to disappear the moment your dog spots something interesting, or visitors are greeted with four paws off the floor. Perhaps you've tried different bits of advice but aren't sure what's right for your dog.

My one-to-one dog training gives you personalised support with the things you're finding difficult. We'll look at what's happening in your everyday life, work out where to start and build practical skills that make life together easier.

Every dog and household is different, so we'll work on goals that are realistic for you and your dog. My reward-based, welfare-led approach helps you understand how your dog learns, build a stronger relationship and develop skills you can use beyond our training sessions.

Training takes practice, and you shouldn't have to squeeze everything into one appointment. My packages give you time to work on your priorities, practise between sessions and build on what you've learned as your confidence grows.

Three sessions for £160 or five sessions for £260.

Not sure where to start? Get in touch by email or WhatsApp and tell me a little about your dog and what's proving tricky. We can work out whether one-to-one training is the right fit for you both.

Is your lovely puppy turning into a distracted teenager?

One minute your dog seems to be getting the hang of things, and the next it's as though they've forgotten everything you've taught them! Recall goes out of the window, walks become more challenging and suddenly the whole world is far more interesting than you are.

If your dog is reaching adolescence, you're not imagining things. As they mature, their behaviour, attention and responses to things they've previously learned can change. Distractions can be harder to ignore, and skills that seemed reliable a few months ago might need a little more work. It doesn't mean your training has gone wrong, or that your dog is deliberately giving you the runaround.

My Next Steps classes help you build on existing foundations, understand what's changing as your dog matures and develop practical skills for everyday life. We'll work on helping your dog respond around distractions, while giving you the knowledge and confidence to support their learning outside the training hall too.

You don't need to have attended my puppy classes to join. Whether you've trained with someone else or are simply looking for some help with your growing dog, we'll focus on building skills that work for you both.

Classes use a reward-based, welfare-led approach, with small groups (maximum 6 dogs), handouts to help you practise at home and ongoing support between sessions.

Five weeks of Next Steps training for £95.

Next Steps classes run according to demand. If you'd like to join us, get in touch and tell me a little about your dog. I'll let you know about upcoming classes or register your interest for the next course.

Your dog's movement can tell you more than you might think

Have you noticed a change in your dog's behaviour? Perhaps they're becoming reluctant to do things they used to enjoy, seem less comfortable in certain situations, or are behaving differently and you're not sure why. Changes in behaviour can have many causes, so it's important to consider whether physical comfort could be playing a part.

As a Dynamic Dog Practitioner, I look at how dogs move and use their bodies, helping owners notice patterns they might otherwise miss. It's something I pay attention to during all my training sessions, too, because understanding the individual dog in front of me is an important part of supporting their welfare and learning.

A Dynamic Dog assessment gives us more time to look closely at your dog's movement and posture. I'll provide a detailed report highlighting key areas for your vet to investigate further, helping you share your observations and give them useful information to support their assessment.

I don't diagnose medical conditions or replace veterinary advice. My role is to observe, document and highlight areas that may need further investigation, so you and your vet can decide on the appropriate next steps.

Dynamic Dog assessment: £150.

If you'd like to understand your dog's movement better, or you've noticed changes that concern you, get in touch by email or WhatsApp to discuss whether an assessment would be suitable for them.
