How it works

This is not training as you may know it; there are no classes or groups and I don't focus on obedience! The emotional experience of the dog is at the heart of what I do and your dog will never be punished, for getting something 'wrong'.

Understanding the emotions behind a behaviour is the key to helping your dog to successfully navigate the world around them; dogs experience emotions just like we do and I'm proud to be part of the growing movement in dog training that recognises that science has proven they are capable of the same emotional range as a 3 year old child. 

Changing how a dog behaves doesn't necessarily change how the dog feels, particularly when dealing with fear and anxiety. Changing how the dog feels is at the core of how I work. Following the most up to date, scientific and humane practises I can help your dog to grow in confidence in both themselves and in you as their guardian and learn to make good choices.

More details on why I don't run group classes and to learn more about your dog's emotional needs and how they affect training and behaviour can be found on the blog pages.
