What’s Unique About Me?
I am not trying to just create obedient dogs.
I help you create a great life with your dog, founded in your relationship with them, emotional & behavioural
health and meeting the needs of both ends of the leash
A healthy dog is a happy dog and a happy dog is great to live with!
Having a dog in your life can be one of the best things that happens to you and I know that you just want your dog to live their best life and for you to be able to too!
I also know that when things go sideways it can be an absolute nightmare!
Things like not being able to have guests over, not being able to relax in your own home or not being able to enjoy taking them for a walk can suck the joy out of having a dog.
The reality is that if you’re seeing your dog barking excessively, destroying things they shouldn’t, unable to settle and relax or showing signs of stress, aggression, anxiety and reactivity, then they’re likely to be having a hard time too.
Unfortunately, I see people and their dogs in these situations every single day. But the good news is…
You and you dog CAN live happy and
healthy lives together
I understand that the way that you live with your dog is going to be different to the next persons and your dog is going to have different needs and preferences to other dogs too.
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey with your dog or have gone down a path that you’re looking to straighten, when it comes to their behaviour it takes effort, commitment, knowledge, communication and patience.
You’re not alone and I have helped over 4000 people and their dogs since 2015 using our unique framework ‘The Five Pillars Of Emotional Stability’ that underpins everything I teach and I’m here to help you too.
What Will You Get From Working With Me?
My goal is to help you and as many other people and their dogs live happy and healthy lives together.
I have a unique yet simple framework that has helped so many people and their dogs since 2015
✔ ASSESS - First I want to understand you, your dog and your goals and your current situation
✔ CREATE THE TAILORED PLAN - Each training plan is different and personalised to your unique situation and your dogs needs. The Framework Consists Of:
✔ Explain to you why the plan is what it is so that you are completely on board with the direction. Your understanding is often the difference between following through and giving up
✔ Stress Relief and Recovery - If your dog is too stressed to learn new things, this step is essential. So many unwanted behaviours are driven by how the dog feels, not just simply a dog doing 'bad' things. If we shoot not just for well trained dogs, but healthy emotions and healthy emotional regulation we see our dogs behaviour improve beyond anything that obedience alone could ever teach them.
✔ Implement The Five Pillars - Our unique framework within the framework that when we fulfill, creates the life you and your dog dream of:
✔ Communication & Handling Skills - Teach you how to communicate with your dog, train them and handle them to boost your confidence and your dogs skills
✔ Enrichment - I’ll teach you what your dog finds most satisfying and enriching and how to incorporate it into your dogs life so that you can be sure that your dogs are truly happy
✔ Exercise - Getting the type and amount of exercise your dog needs is essential for their behavioural health. We want to ensure we’re getting it right for the individual, avoiding compulsion and addictive behaviours and always doing our best to not compromise the mental and emotional health of our dog in the name of exercise
✔ Healthy Feeding Routines - I can’t speak to nutrition not being a nutritionist but I can teach you how to use your dog’s food to create healthy patterns and predictability that support healthy emotional regulation
✔ Sleep & Rest - Our dogs need not only a lot of sleep each day (roughly 14-18 hours a day) but we need to be promoting healthy sleep cycles where our dogs fall into deeper sleeps of longer than one hour to facilitate healthy restoration and recovery. Without this, our dogs will not be at their best and neither will their behaviour
✔ Growth and Progression - As your dogs stress decreases, resilience increases, your handling skills improves and your communication builds you can begin to do more challenging things together
✔ Ongoing Assessment, Adjustment & Improvement - As we aim for progress not always perfection we must remember that our dogs are living things and real life throws us curveballs and so we must adjust our approach appropriately
I see people genuinely trying to get it right with their dogs and yet still struggling with their dogs every day.
I see people going online and applying generic advice that may not even apply to them and their situation.
I see people trying multiple tactics at the same time and not following through on many if any to completion, unknowling confusing their dog further and accidentally making the situation worse.
I see well meaning people following poor advice based on outdated methods or methods that aren’t applicable to their unique situation.
I see people trying their hardest but confused on how to actually help their dog and their situation
I’ll not only teach you how to train your dog but I’ll teach you how to understand
your dog and incorporate training into your every day life.
I’ll teach you how to implement what you need to feel confident in what your ability and understanding to create an amazing life for you and your dog.
When we know what our own goals are and meet our dogs needs then the entire family can live their best life.
When we do this the outcomes are always the same…
✔ We see fewer unwanted behaviours in the first place
✔ We see your ability to communicate with your dog become easy and effective
✔ We see your ability to make great decisions for your dog so that you can proactively keep them happy, healthy and out of trouble improve
✔ The relationship between you and your dog is enjoyable, full of love and ultimately healthy
✔ We see you and your dog truly enjoying life together, however that may look for your unique dynamic
