Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to Your Frequently Asked Questions

What training methods do you use?

I use modern, science-based, reward-focused methods that are kind, ethical, and effective. My approach is often called force-free training, which means I never use fear, pain, or punishment. Instead, I focus on setting dogs up for success, reinforcing the behaviours we want, and helping them feel safe and confident as they learn.

This style of training isn’t just about teaching skills—it’s about protecting and strengthening the bond between you and your dog, so you can enjoy a calmer, happier life together.

We use modern, reward-based methods that set your dog up for success and protect your bond.

Can you help with recall struggles?

Absolutely! Recall is one of my favourite areas of training to work on. Many dogs find coming back when called tricky—especially with all the distractions of the outside world—but with the right approach, it can become reliable and fun.

I use positive, reward-based methods to build your dog’s motivation, confidence, and focus so that returning to you is always the best choice they can make. Together, we’ll turn recall struggles into recall success, giving you peace of mind and your dog more freedom to enjoy the world safely.

Absolutely! We specialise in recall training to improve your dog's responsiveness.

Do you work with dogs who struggle around other dogs?

Yes. I offer 1:1 behaviour support for dogs who find interactions with other dogs difficult—whether that looks like barking, pulling, overexcitement, or worry when another dog is nearby. My approach is tailored, kind, and science-based, focusing on reducing stress, building confidence, and helping both you and your dog feel calmer and more in control on walks and in everyday life.

Do you offer online training support?

Yes

Yes, we provide online courses and behaviour consultations for convenient training from anywhere.

What if there has been a relationship breakdown between my dog and me?

We specialise in training solutions to rebuild the bond and strengthen the relationship.

Are you qualified and accredited?

Yes, I am qualified in Canine Behaviour and Training and accredited by various organisations.
