Start Your Training Journey Here!

Want to get your puppy off to the right start, or have an adult dog in need of some more manners? Looking to build your cat's confidence? Or maybe you've got a new puppy or kitten on the way, and don't know where to begin?

Based in South Gloucestershire, I offer 1-2-1 training sessions tailored specifically to the needs of you and your pet, and can show you both how to live up to your paw-tential! For more serious problems, such as aggression, fears/phobias and separation-related distress, I offer comprehensive behavioural consultations on vet referral.

Methods and Techniques

As the animal behaviour industry is currently unregulated, it can be hard to distinguish skilled and knowledgeable practitioners from those who use inappropriate or outdated techniques. I only use force-free, positive reinforcement-based methods that are supported by current scientific findings, and I will work at a pace that is appropriate for your animal's abilities and comfort level.
