My Philosophy

My personal experience with Buddy and my journey to become a professional dog trainer has led to the realisation that all dogs deserve a second chance. Essentially there are no "Bad Dogs", just dogs who are yet to understand human rules, boundaries, and expectations.

I believe there is a solution to every behaviour problem and my mission is to support dog owners to seek solutions bespoke to each client and their dog using clear and honest communication.

Many issues owners experience with their dog originate from a lack of structure. I help owners to establish simple rules, coherent boundaries, and realistic expectations specifically tailored to their home life, lifestyle, and schedule using calm, consistent leadership.

As a balanced dog training professional, I use a combination of reward and correction (when necessary) to effectively establish strong and fluent communication between you and your dog to build a happy, loving and fulfilling relationship which encourages your dog to make the right choice.

Each dog is different and every family situation is unique. An approach which is successful for one dog may not be suitable for another; what works for one family may not be appropriate or achievable for other families. I am here to guide you, your family and your dog to discover the best solutions for all.
