I just want people and their dogs to be happier and more harmonious.
To achieve this, I believe in coaching owners to clearly communicate with their dogs to achieve their goals in the best way possible for all parties involved. I hold an MSc in Animal Behaviour Management and I am a provisional member of the Association for Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC) and a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC). I have also achieved pre-certification status with the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) to hopefully achieve full Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CCAB) status in the future. I am committed to the use of up to date, science-based methods and do not employ the use of "alpha" or "dominance-style" methods. Find out more about my philosophy here.
I have worked with a range of behavioural problems, including dog reactivity & aggression, separation anxiety, inappropriate elimination (peeing and pooing in house), fear aggression, food aggression and more. I have also worked with a range of training problems, including poor recall, poor general obedience, jumping up (& other over arousal issues), pulling on the lead, mouthing and more.
But if you've stumbled upon this page and feel that your dog is good, but you wonder at the possibility of them being GREAT then please feel free to get in touch too! I have experience in teaching gun dog training, as well as other dog sports.

Please go to the section which applies to you:
NEW CLIENTS
As with all my clients, there will be an initial assessment which involves getting a detailed history from you about your dog and the current problems you are having. If possible, I may ask to see the behaviour(s) that you are wanting help with via video before the assessment.
I am charging a flat rate of £80 for a 2 hour initial assessment.
Please note that this payment will need to be made in advance to confirm your booking.
If the initial assessment exceeds 2 hours, there will be an additional charge based on my standard hourly rate which will need to be paid after the session.
After the initial assessment, we will then organise follow up sessions to begin implementing a training plan to address the problems you are having with your dog. In most (but not all) cases, you will be given some training advice to work on in the time between our initial assessment and any follow up sessions.
Any subsequent sessions will be charged at my normal rate of £40/hour*
If you are unhappy with me for whatever reason following the initial assessment, then you are not obligated to have any follow up sessions with me.
*DISCOUNT OFFERED FOR BUYING A BLOCK OF 3 SESSIONS:
Block of 3 x 1-hour sessions = £110 (Normally £120)
You can also request a full detailed report for you and your dog for a flat rate of £80 if you would prefer.
