About Me

With an ISCP Level 3 qualification in Canine Behaviour and Welfare (achieved with Distinction), and currently studying BCCS Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour, I combine practical training with a deeper understanding of why dogs behave the way they do. I’m passionate about helping owners feel more confident and supported, especially when things feel overwhelming or uncertain.

This means your dog’s training is not just effective—but compassionate, supportive, and tailored to both you and your dog.

Providing compassionate, science-backed support for dogs and their owners across Stoke-on-Trent.

Specialist Support

Tailored support for rescue dogs and those with sensory impairments, helping them build confidence and feel secure in their environment.

Dog & Baby Preparation

Prepare your dog for a growing family. We guide you through introducing new routines and boundaries so your dog can adjust safely and calmly.

Puppy Training

Give your puppy the best possible start. We focus on toilet training, managing biting, building focus, and introducing lead walking and recall in a calm, positive way.

General Training

Make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. From loose lead walking to reliable recall and calm behaviour at home or outdoors, we help you build habits that last.

Behaviour & Reactivity

Are you struggling with your dogs behaviour in the home or outside on walks? Support for dogs who need extra understanding. Structured programmes for anxiety, reactivity, or more complex behaviours—focused on long-term change, not quick fixes.
