Closeup of a Black Dog

Hello and Welcome. I'm so glad you're here!

You have a dog and you're really struggling with their behaviour, right? You've done your research, asked Google or ChatGPT what is happening. Your friends and family try to be helpful but let's be honest, they're not. Maybe you've even jumped on a few Facebook groups in search of answers.
 
And you're still none the wiser. 

I was once in that place, too. I read all the books, asked all the experts. Heck, I even became a dog trainer to try and make sense of my dog's behaviour! 

The good news is that you don't have to go to the lengths that I did - I did all that work so that I can help you.

Let me take the guesswork out of it for you and together we can get you and your dog back on track and enjoying your life together again. 

Problem behaviours I can help with:

  • Resource guarding 

  • Barking when people visit/on walks

  • Sudden displays of aggression towards other dogs/people

  • Fear-aggression towards other dogs/people which has been happening for a long time

  • Isolation Distress

  • Handling/grooming issues

  • Toilet training issues that are age related

  • Fear of fireworks

  • Aggression towards family members

  • Car travel problems 

  • Abnormal repetitive behaviours

  • Canine cognitive dysfunction

  • Aggression towards other pets in the house

  • ​Generalised anxiety issues

Is this the right fit for you? 

Behaviour change isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about building new habits, new responses, and a better understanding between you and your dog.

This service is designed for owners who are ready to be part of that process.

This is likely a great fit for you if:

  • You’re ready to actively work on your dog’s behaviour, not just manage it

  • You can commit time each week to training and practice

  • You’re open to guidance, even if it means doing things differently

  • You want to understand why your dog is behaving the way they are — not just stop the behaviour

  • You’re looking for long-term change, not a quick fix

 

This may not be the right fit if:

  • You’re hoping for a fast or immediate solution

  • You’re unable to practise between sessions

  • You’re not in a position to make changes to your dog’s routine or environment

  • You’d prefer someone to “train the dog for you” rather than guide you through the process

 

What This Work Actually Involves

 

Working together means:

  • Following a structured training plan

  • Practising regularly between sessions

  • Tracking progress (e.g. through a training diary or videos)

  • Making small adjustments to your dog’s routine where needed

 

I’ll guide you every step of the way — but the real progress happens in the day-to-day work you put in with your dog.

A Quick Note Before You Book

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or not quite ready — that’s completely okay.

This kind of work is most effective when you’re in a place where you can commit to the process. If now isn’t the right time, you’re always welcome to come back when it is.

How we'll work together...

Step 1: Reach Out

You can get in touch by filling in the online form here or by emailing me directly.


Tell me a little about your dog and what’s been happening. The more information I have, the better I can support you.

Even if you’re not completely sure you need a behaviour consultation, reach out anyway. I’ll let you know my thoughts and the best way forward. 

Step 2: Book a discovery Call

We arrange a quick 15 minute Zoom call to have a chat about the behaviour you would like help with and how I work. Once we agree to work together, I'll send you more information on the next steps along with your invoice. 

Step 3: Vet Check & Referral

I’ll ask that your dog is examined by their vet and you arrange for your vet to send me a referral. This step is very important.

I know you are keen to get moving and this feels like an unnecessary step but,  I only work with dogs who have a vet referral because I need to make sure I’m working with a healthy dog. About 80% of my caseload are dogs who are struggling with an underlying disease or illness which is why their behaviour is out of sorts. If there’s an underlying physical issue contributing to the behaviour, no amount of training alone will fix it.

This step ensures we’re tackling the right problem safely and effectively from the start.

Step 4: Behaviour History Form

You’ll complete a detailed questionnaire at least 7 days before our consultation.


This helps me understand your dog’s history, current routines, and everything you’ve already tried.

During the consultation, we’ll go through it together, and I may ask you to send videos of the problem behaviours so I can get the fullest picture possible before we start.

Step 5: The Consultation

We either meet in your home or online and you can tell me more about what the problem is and what you've already tried to solve it. 

At the end of the consultation, I’ll:​

  • Work out what’s driving the behaviour.

  • Put management strategies in place immediately, so everyone stays safe and your dog feels calmer.

  • Start building a detailed training protocol tailored to your dog and leave you with some homework to get you started on your behaviour modification journey.

 

Important note: For more severe cases, you’ll be working with me for at least three months, especially for behaviours that are long-standing or deeply ingrained. This ensures we can make steady, lasting progress.

Step 6: Your Written Plan

Within 3–5 working days, you’ll receive a clear, personalised report and behaviour plan.


It’s written in plain English, easy to follow, and tailored to your dog and your life. I’ll also send a copy to your vet and liaise back with them if I spot anything that needs further attention, such as a check-up or medication.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7: Ongoing Support (Optional)

If you’d like continued guidance, I offer behaviour support packages.

Ongoing support lets me:

  • Monitor your dog’s progress and adjust the plan as needed

  • Provide guidance and reassurance when things feel tricky or overwhelming

  • Be there for those moments when you’re unsure if it’s working or just need confirmation that you’re on the right track.

 

I’m available Monday to Friday via email/whatsapp or phone to give you clear support and guidance, especially when things feel a little hairy or confusing. You’re never left guessing - I’ll help you stay calm, confident, and on track.

All this for an investment of £299.

Typical Timescale From Initial Contact to Consultation

Step 1: Getting in Touch
Once you fill in my online form or email me, I’ll get back to you within 48 hours.

Step 2: Vet Referral
I’ll ask your vet to provide a referral. If your dog has had a recent vet visit in the last few weeks, you can contact your vet directly — the reception team will know what to do. They can send the referral via my online form or email it to me. Usually, this takes a couple of days.

Step 3: Behaviour History Form
While we’re waiting for the referral, I’ll send you a link to a detailed Google Doc questionnaire about your dog. 


Step 4: Booking the Consultation
Once I have both the referral and your completed history form, we’ll book your in-home consultation. I normally schedule these about two weeks from your initial contact — this gives time for the referral and history form to come through and ensures we’re fully prepared.

Step 5: After the Consultation
After the consultation, you’ll receive your written report and personalised plan within 3–5 working days. While I’m preparing this, I’ll also get you started with some initial exercises so your dog is already making progress.

Step 6: Medical or Pharmacological Follow-Up (if needed)
If I think further medical investigations are required, I’ll liaise with your vet. In some cases, if medication might help, I’ll contact your vet directly, and often your dog won’t need an extra appointment — your vet can prescribe directly if appropriate.

Step 7: Ongoing Training and Support
 
How long we work together depends on the behaviour issue.

Separation anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, or long-standing behaviours can take several months, sometimes years, to fully resolve. 
 
Shorter-term behaviours may take just a few months.​
 
For the first few months, I’ll provide a training protocol and step-by-step guidance, monitoring progress and adjusting as needed. You can continue with me for as long as you feel you need support, and we’ll always reassess together. My goal is to give you a clear understanding of how long it will take to see meaningful change and how long I recommend working with me for your dog’s specific situation.

A note on expectations: I can’t promise that your dog will be “fixed” or completely “normal.” Some behaviours can be fully resolved, but others may never disappear entirely — and that’s okay. What I can guarantee is that we will make things much, much better. Together, we’ll work toward a point where you’re confident, safe, and happy living with your dog again. How far we get depends on your goals, your dog’s needs, and the behaviours we’re working on — but you’ll never be left guessing or unsupported along the way.

Let's get started!

I'll ask that you organise a vet referral and whilst you're waiting on that, you can fill in an online behaviour history form.
