My Approach: A Commitment to You & Your Dog

Client-Centered Transparency: Your understanding and comfort are essential. I'll always ensure you're comfortable with the plan, use clear language, and invite your feedback, empowering you to effectively support your dog.

Ethical, Humane Training: I promote modern, humane methods that are gentle and effective; I avoid pain, fear, or discomfort. My approach strictly adheres to the Humane Hierarchy.

Scientifically Proven & Evidence-Based: My methods are rooted in applied behaviour analysis, ethology and learning theory, ensuring the most efficient and effective progress. I stay current with the latest research to provide you with the best, scientifically backed strategies.

Reward-Based & Engaging: We use positive reinforcement, primarily food and play, to make learning fun and motivating for your dog. This builds enthusiasm, strengthens your bond, and leads to reliable, joyful results for both you and your dog.

Compassionate & Collaborative: I'm deeply committed to supporting both you and your dog. Understanding the stress involved with training and behaviour challenges, I provide empathetic guidance, clear communication, and collaborative coaching to empower you and your dog. 

"Changing behaviour is not something you do casually because that behaviour has value for the animal or they wouldn't be doing it."
