How I Work
How I Work
- No outdated or punitive methods
- Focus on your dog’s emotional needs, not just obedience
- Personalised plans that respect your dog’s breed traits, lifestyle, and environment
- Support for you too - because this is a journey for both ends of the lead
When we work together, we become a team. I’m here to guide, support, and cheer you on – without judgment.
Support, Every Step of the Way
You won’t be doing this alone. Think of me as your coach and your biggest cheerleader – offering guidance and reassurance between sessions to keep you feeling confident and on track.
Compassionate, Holistic Behaviour Support
Every dog is different, and so is every household. That’s why I take a whole-picture approach, looking beyond behaviour to understand lifestyle, breed traits, nutrition, exercise, and your relationship with your dog. Real change starts here.
Knowledge You Can Rely On
As a fully qualified trainer and behaviourist, I combine formal education with hands-on experience and ongoing professional development. My strategies aren’t just theoretical – they work in real life, with real dogs.

Qualifications
Alongside my work as an IMDTB-qualified behaviourist, I’m currently completing the final year of an integrated Master’s degree in Neuroscience.
This gives me a deep understanding of how dogs learn, how emotions are processed in the brain, and how stress, fear, safety, and connection shape behaviour. I don’t just follow protocols – I understand why they work, and how to adapt them to suit your individual dog.
It’s this blend of science, lived experience, and kindness that shapes everything I do.
