I have always been passionate about looking at your dog from nose-to-tail, including their food, environment and lifestyle. I specialise in home training courses for puppies, teenagers and dogs of all ages, shapes and sizes to help you work on any behaviours, issues or training. By working in your home (and using your local walks) you get the chance to work in the place where you need help the most to build a lifelong, happy and positive relationship.
From puppies to adult dogs, our holistic approach to dog training helps you build confidence, improve behaviour, and enjoy a stronger bond with your four-legged friend. I use Holistic Training because I passionately believe that getting the dog you want as part of your family is not just about training. Everything in the environment, food, exercise routine and your lifestyle will affect your dog or puppy. It’s not just about teaching them to sit and give paw (although that can be fun!).
Teaching life skills is all about how we interact with with our dogs right from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed.
Training that considers your dog’s emotions, environment, lifestyle and health and not just obedience.
Tailored to your dog’s age, breed, personality and your family’s needs.
Positive, force-free methods create habits that stick long term.
Combines training with enrichment, play, rest and choice for a happier dog.
