As a dog behaviourist, my work centres around helping owners to understand their pets through the lens of dog psychology. We don’t ‘train’ dogs. We assess and evaluate them so we can understand their temperament, their motivations and their needs. We look at the relationship they have with you and show you what needs to change to help that relationship flourish. We show you what small changes can provide big wins to the experience you have with your dog when you understand from their point of view. And we teach you how to communicate with them in a way that is optimal for them.

Case Profiles.
Explore our case profiles, which dive into some of the specifics of working with certain breeds or groups of dogs. We look at common behaviours that many owners face, and which activities and techniques are most beneficial to creating long term success. You may notice that certain techniques, like place work, are used with almost every dog that we work with - with very good reason! We will be keeping our case profiles updated regularly - so if you can’t see your dog, either check back later, or send us an email so we cover your case profile next!
