Behavioural Support

BASED IN KENT & SURREY

I work with dogs using positive reinforcement and kindness because I truly believe that’s the best way for dogs to learn and feel safe. My goal is to help you and your dog understand each other better, whether you’re looking to teach the basics, build confidence, or work through a specific behaviour issue. Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know both of you and tailor the training to your needs. If you choose to work with me, you’ll get more than just a training plan—you’ll get support, encouragement, and someone who genuinely cares about your dog’s wellbeing and your relationship with them.

Working together

Is your puppy adorable, cuddly, and sweet—until the witching hour hits and they turn into a tiny shark with endless energy?

Has your adolescent dog suddenly forgotten their name, decided other dogs are far more interesting than you, and started vanishing halfway across the park?

Are you confused about why your dog has started digging up the garden, barking at cars, or not in love with the vet?

You're not alone, and you're not doing anything wrong. I'm here to help you make sense of these behaviours and work through any challenges you're facing. It can feel overwhelming at times, but with the right support and understanding, it absolutely gets easier.

Scentwork

Why choose Scentwork?

  • It taps into our dogs natural ability to seek with their nose which in turn helps them to feel amazing

  • Uses skills to help them puzzle solve so fulfils cognitive needs

  • Suitable for dogs of all ages and abilities

  • Helps to regulate emotions so is a great activity for sensitive or frustrated dogs

  • Builds confidence in varying environments and builds focus

  • Creates teamwork with you and your dog increasing focus and engagement

  • Join a community with other supportive teams attending fun workshops and competitions

  • Give a better understanding of your dog and you’ll think they are amazing

Scentwork is one of the most enriching and rewarding activities you can offer your dog. Tapping into their incredible sense of smell, scentwork provides both mental stimulation and emotional satisfaction—making it ideal for dogs of all ages, breeds, and abilities. Whether you're looking for a fun new hobby or a way to build focus and confidence in a more sensitive or reactive dog, scentwork is a fantastic choice. I offer ethical, reward-based scentwork training in both group sessions and one-to-one formats, tailored to your dog’s needs and experience level. It’s not just about searching—it's about strengthening your bond and letting your dog do what they do best: follow their nose!

Scentwork has been one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things I’ve ever done with my own dog. I loved it so much that I decided to start teaching it, so I could share the joy and connection it’s brought us. If you decide to give it a try, I hope you’ll find it just as fun and fulfilling—and that it opens up a whole new world for you and your dog too.
