More Than Just a Dog Trainer

If you've found your way here, chances are you're looking for more than sit, stay, and a handful of treats.

​

Maybe your dog is reactive, anxious, or struggling in ways that standard training hasn't touched. Maybe you've tried the classes, followed the advice, and you're still stuck. Or you simply want a trainer who treats your dog as an individual & not a 'problem' that needs to be managed.

​

Having worked with hundreds of dogs I noticed they could only absorb as much as their body and mind allowed them to.

​

Combining body management, energy balancing & positive reinforcement I can tailor the right training package to enable your dog to understand whats being asked. No waffle. No filler. Just understanding what they're communicating

Three Pillar Approach

01

Pain changes everything about how a dog experiences the world. Many behavioural issues have an underlying physical cause - a sore hip, tension in the shoulders, old injuries that never fully healed. Often pain is the route cause of behaviour issues. We target this first.

Anxiety and stress aren't just "behavioural issues" - they're signs of a disregulated nervous system. Dogs, like humans, have energy centres in their body that can become blocked, especially after trauma or ongoing stress.

03

With pain addressed and the nervous system balanced, positive reinforcement training becomes effective again. I combine my decade of training experience with IMDT-certified methods to help your dog learn, build confidence, and strengthen the bond between you.
