Teach Your Dog Practical Everyday Life Skills!
Teach your dog to follow you so that they walk nicely by your side wherever you go, which means you can take them anywhere with you and enjoy all those adventures together!
Teach your dog to be able to focus and pay attention to you, even with distractions! So that your dog will look to you for guidance and you can feel confident and in control of your dog in all situations, which means you can relax and enjoy your walks together again!
Teach your dog to settle down and relax in all environments so that they will be calm around distractions, which means you can take them to the cafe, pub or town centre with you worry free!
Teach your dog to come when called reliably, no matter the distractions, so that you know they won't ignore you and run away, which means you can let them off lead to run free without a worry.
We understand dogs!
Our approach to training focuses on empowering both dogs and their guardians, always prioritising kindness and understanding. We recognise that behaviours are often a symptom of underlying feelings, so we work at your dog’s pace to uncover what may be causing these emotions. Through a custom coaching program tailored to your dog’s unique needs, we help them build confidence, manage their feelings, and develop practical skills for managing everyday life situations.
Our training philosophy is rooted in freedom of choice, where dogs are encouraged to explore their natural strengths in an environment free from fear or force. By working together, we inspire both you and your dog to achieve balance and harmony, enriching life for both of you. When dogs are taught with compassion and at a pace they feel comfortable with, they excel in ways that feel authentic and rewarding for everyone involved.
How Positive Reinforcement Works
We use positive reinforcement to reward and encourage desirable behaviours, helping your dog develop new habits and an effective communication system in an stress-free and enjoyable way. This method not only boosts their confidence but also releases dopamine, a "feel-good" chemical that supports memory and motivation. Our training focuses on teaching your dog verbal and physical “cues,” moving away from the traditional idea of “commands.” This collaborative approach strengthens your relationship with your dog, helping you understand each other better and work as a true team.
Why Train with Me?
We specialise in building trust-based connections between dogs and their guardians. Our compassionate, reward-based techniques are grounded in the latest science and tailored to meet the unique needs of every dog and you as their guardians. By encouraging thoughtful learning and working at your dog’s natural pace, we help them learn why to behave a certain way—because they want to, not because they have to.
If you’re ready to create a stronger, happier bond with your dog, let’s get started. Together, we’ll make training a rewarding and enjoyable journey for you both.
How we work...
We’re proud to be a member of the National Institute of Canine Ethics, meaning we only ever use force free reward based methods of training.
We DO NOT condone the use of any aversive tools or techniques such as a slip lead, prong collar, head halti (or equivalent), front clip harnesses or anti bark collar.
Our positive and systematic approach allows us to set you and your dog up for success, to achieve lasting results in real life situations.
Every dog learns differently. Authentic teaching comes from commitment, patience and understanding dogs are all individuals just like humans. By applying our ethical, reward based methods, we can help you to achieve an effective communication and harmonious relationship with your canine companion, with long lasting results!
