Understanding Dog Behaviour

Dogs are the most amazing animals that we have the privilege of sharing life with, but sometimes their behaviours can be a complete mystery. Raising a happy dog involves far more than teaching them to sit and stay; it’s about helping them navigate the world and teaching them how to fit into it. As your dogs’s personal detective, I’ll guide you through the complex world of dog behaviour - from jumping and barking to socialisation and addressing fear, I’ll help you ensure your dog will be more confident and well-mannered!

Solving Dog Problems:

  •  Overcoming destruction and housebreaking challenges

  • Changing barking and jumping to sitting quietly

  • Addressing fear and building confidence

  • Pulling on lead

  • Crate training and more!
