In Person Training

Life With Your Dog Should Feel Good. Let’s Make It That Way.

You love your dog more than anything. But right now, living with them is harder than it should be. Maybe walks have become something you brace yourself for. Maybe the house feels chaotic. Maybe you've tried the tips, the videos, even a class or two, and nothing has really stuck.

Whatever's going on, you don't have to keep working it out on your own. Book a free call with me and we'll talk it through properly: what's actually happening, why, and the clearest way forward for you and your dog.

You’re Not Alone — And It’s Not Your Fault

Most dog owners in your position have already tried everything they can think of. You’ve spent evenings googling training advice. You’ve crossed the road to avoid other dogs, or quietly dreaded having guests over. You’ve felt frustrated, embarrassed, or just plain exhausted.

And underneath all of it — you still know that your dog is funny, loving, and full of potential. You haven’t given up on them. You just haven’t found the right support yet.

Here’s the truth: most training advice only scratches the surface. It doesn’t ask why your dog is behaving this way — and without that answer, nothing really sticks. That’s not a reflection of you or your dog. It’s a gap in how training has traditionally been done.

There Is a Better Way. And It Starts Here.

That’s exactly why we created our In-Person Training Programmes — built to get to the real root of what’s going on with your dog and give you a personalised plan that works in your actual life.

We don’t work in a vacuum. We work with you and your dog in the places that matter — your walks, your home, your neighbourhood. We look at the full picture: your dog’s behaviour, their health, their history, and the relationship you share.

 

The result? A plan that makes sense, support you can actually access, and real, lasting change — not just a temporary fix.

Trusted by hundreds of dog owners across West Berkshire and beyond — with over a decade of professional dog training and behaviour experience.

Real Dogs. Real Results. Real People Just Like You.

Had to share today’s success story.

Out on our walk, Monty and I came across a small fete; a congregation of Monty’s worst triggers, dogs, people and children! Normally I’d steer well clear but we’ve been doing well so I thought I’d give it a go.

 

Well, he was fantastic. So much going on, lots of other dogs (including one barking), and Monty calmly walked around with me. I was so shocked I forgot to take a photo! Before I would have thought such an environment was out of the question, but now I think we might just get there.

I think it’s been a really useful and informative 8 weeks and I have certainly gained a lot from it particularly learning tips such as the decompression walks (now my favourite walks!), how to deal with some of the difficult situations we can find ourselves in with other dogs/people etc and having had various videos to watch and study has been really useful.

 

Also, your own spoken video clips have been a great support and have given pause for thought about the situation we are all in with our reactive dogs and just knowing that I am not alone in all of this and being able to share experiences etc, it has been really worthwhile.

We sought out their guidance and expertise as he was reactive and hyperstimulated, and becoming difficult for us to manage. We first tackled his diet and training which both had a very positive impact but he could still suddenly become hyper, bouncy and mouthy which is not fun with a big strong dog! Anna suspected he was in pain so she conducted a dynamic dog assessment, noting some irregularities in his gait, which she sent to our vets. After some x-rays, our vet has diagnosed him with hip dysplasia. It has been enormously helpful to finally get to the root cause of his behaviour and now we can take appropriate steps to help him and ease the pain. We can't thank Anna and her team enough for all their guidance, knowledge and support.

Dog Friends
Two Programmes. One Goal: A Calmer, Happier Life With Your Dog.

Every dog and every owner is different, so I work in two ways depending on what's going on. On your free call we'll work out together which one fits you best. You don't need to decide now.

Behaviour Foundations

For dogs with the everyday training challenges that quietly make life harder than it needs to be: pulling on the lead, poor recall, over-excitement, jumping up, and the like. Together we'll build calmer habits and a dog you can actually relax with. Here's what's included:

An in-depth assessment session, where we build and start your personalised training plan together

In-person training sessions, working in the real environments that challenge you and your dog

Daily WhatsApp support — with video reviews and adaptive plan adjustments as you progress

Full access to our online training library and client community

Behaviour Transformation

My most in-depth programme, for dogs with more complex or layered behaviour challenges: reactivity, resource guarding, generalised anxiety, fear-based behaviour, or bite risk. This is the deep work that gets to the bottom of what's really driving it. Here's what's included:

Comprehensive behaviour assessment — a deep dive into everything that’s going on.

Full health and gait screening with written report — because pain and discomfort are often a hidden driver of behaviour

In-person training sessions — in the real situations that challenge you most

Daily WhatsApp support — with video reviews and adaptive plan adjustments as you progress

Full access to our online training library and client community

Not sure which one is right for you? That's exactly what the free call is for. We'll talk it through and I'll tell you honestly where I think your dog is.

Why Our Approach Gets Results Others Don’t

After years working with dogs and their owners, we’ve learned that tackling a behaviour problem head-on rarely creates the lasting change families need. Dogs are living beings — their behaviour is shaped by their health, their history, their environment, and the relationship they have with you.

Most training plans fall short because the foundations aren’t solid, other factors are quietly getting in the way, or the owner doesn’t have the full picture. That’s exactly where we come in.

Real Life Training

We don't work in a training hall. We work in the real situations you face every single day: the walks, the routes, the triggers, the front doorbell. You leave every session with genuine confidence and a plan you can actually use the moment we drive away.

Health & Wellbeing Assessment

Pain is one of the most overlooked causes of behaviour problems. Pulling, lunging, barking, anxiety: all of these can be rooted in physical discomfort your dog has no other way of telling you about. As a qualified Dynamic Dog Practitioner, I assess your dog's movement and wellbeing as part of the work, and help you raise anything I spot with your vet.

Video Demonstrations
Training Library and Community

You also get access to our online training library and client community: training videos, live workshops, engagement games, and a group of like-minded owners who genuinely understand what you're going through.

Daily Support Between Sessions

The real training happens in the everyday moments between our sessions, and you're never left to figure those out alone. We're just a WhatsApp message away: send us a video, ask a question, or flag a wobble, and we'll keep you moving forward.
