My aim is to help you and your dog learn to understand each other and work together in partnership. I believe that a strong bond with your dog, and an understanding of each other, is key to living happily together.

The techniques I employ for dog training are science-led, compassionate and non-punitive. My methods will not rely on the creation of anxiety or fear, but instead develop your dog as a willing partner.

I have studied with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT). I am a qualified Animal Training Instructor with the Animal Behaviour Training Council (ABTC).

ABTC practitioner organisations and advisory members include major animal welfare charities, educational organisations and membership organisations for practitioners. The ABTC is a respected organisation that represents the training and behaviour sector to the public and to governments.

Our family currently shares our home with a young and boisterous lagotto romagnolo. I have previously owned calm and collected rescued lurchers.
