Helping rescue dogs transition into their new homes
Opening your home and your heart to an adult dog can be extremely rewarding, but is quite different to brining home a young pup. Rescue dogs (or older adoptions) bring with them a history that can be complex and often unknown.
I have worked with rescue dogs where in their new homes they have feelings of distrust, confusion, fear and abandonment. Unfortunately love and snuggles isn't enough to help these dogs work through these feelings which can often manifest as reactivity (especially on the lead), anxiety and excessive barking.
Through tailored, in-home training I can teach you how to help your dog transition into it's new life with compassion and support. I'll provide you with the tools you need to guide and support your dog through their worst days and how to recognise and celebrate their wins, no matter how small!
Perfect for: Rescues/older adoptions.

Behaviour modification
Dogs aren’t trying to be bad or naughty when they do something we don’t like, they just have misdirected energy or feelings. I focus on addressing the root cause of these issues by teaching you how to help the dog learn to cope with the underlying triggers using force free and reward based methods.
Perfect for: Over excitement, lunging or barking at other dogs, not coming when called, ignoring owner, anxious or fearful dogs, pulling on the lead, dogs with bad boy/girl energy.

Dogs are a kids best friend
Teaching a dog tricks is a truely meaningful activity for anyone, and especially for kids! It can give children a sense of responsibility and teaches them to practice patience, it can strengthen their bond with the dog and teaches them about caring for and respecting animals, it can also improve their communication skills and give them a sense of achievement.
I offer specialised sessions tailored just for kids and can accommodate all types of needs and physical abilities.
Note for these sessions to be successful the dog needs to already have a stable temperament, for example relatively calm, not reactive or excessively anxious/scared. If you think your dog falls into this category, we can do an initial behaviour consultation first and look into these challenges before starting on any tricks with kids. See above for prices for behaviour consults.
