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.

PUPPY SUPPORT

Bringing a new puppy home is exciting—but it can also feel a bit overwhelming (for you and the puppy). That’s completely normal. You’re not just welcoming a cute furry bundle, you’re starting a long-term relationship that’s built on trust, guidance, and consistency.

In those first days, your puppy is adjusting to a whole new world. Keep things calm, give them time to settle, focus on creating a safe, positive environment where they can learn at their own pace.

Training can start right away-by reinforcing good choices, building confidence, and helping them feel secure. If you're not sure where to start, you're not alone. I'm here to help guide you through those early stages and set you both up for success.

I offer various support options that can be tailored to what really works for you

Getting it right from the start makes all the difference. My puppy support and one-to-one sessions are designed to help your puppy grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog—without the use of fear, force, or punishment. Using positive reinforcement and fun, reward-based methods, I’ll guide you through essential life skills like recall, loose lead walking, and calm behaviour around people and dogs. You'll learn how to understand your puppy’s needs, build trust, and lay the foundations for a lifelong bond..
