Living with a dog who struggles can be exhausting. Walks become a challenging chore as you constantly scan ahead for other dogs, people, traffic or anything that might tip your dog into a negative reaction, ready to change direction at a moment's notice. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone and you're not doing doing anything wrong!
​
I've been there myself with my rescue Border Collie who found other dogs and traffic overwhelming, and my Labrador puppy who very enthusiastically wanted to be friends with everyone. As a Vet Nurse I saw first-hand out stressful vet and groomer visits can be for many dogs, as well as the worry that comes with leaving them home alone. That ongoing stress can really take its toll on both dogs and owners.
​
If this sounds familiar you're in the right place. I can help you enjoy life with your dog using ethical, effective methods that focus on reducing stress, building confidence, increasing your dog's focus on you and making everyday situations feel more manageable for you and your dog.

"Obama was extremely reactive to dogs. After working on building his confidence he greets and plays with dogs with no problems and I can easily call him away from dogs he seems wary of.
It's honestly like having a new dog."
