Break the chain that maintains undesired behaviours
I am here to help you learn how to understand and reduce their dog’s undesirable and unacceptable behaviors. I will develop and implement a plan to replace your frustration with a calm and content companion.
My unique approach
I use a “whole household” approach to support families with how to understand and reduce their dog’s undesirable and unacceptable behaviours.
I guide dog owners to adapt how they interact with their dogs. My aim is to change a dog’s belief that they are solely responsible for looking after the family and home. With this burden removed, dogs can spend more time experiencing life from a calm, content, and fun place.
I am a trained dog behaviourist, and clinically qualified in children’s mental wellbeing. I work with children and their families who are experiencing anxiety and behavioural concerns. I have incorporated my work with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and social learning theory (SLT) into my dog behaviour practice. I use guided self-help to empower dog owners to use a different way of communicating with their dogs.
Areas of wisdom and expertise
Common areas of concern are often rooted in a dog’s fear and worry about how they are experiencing the world. My area of expertise is any unhelpful emotional behaviour. I work with dogs of all ages, including puppies.
Examples of behavioural concerns:
-
Food related stress
-
Separation anxiety
-
Unhealthy coping behaviours
-
Obsessive behaviour
-
Excessive barking
-
Aggression
-
Demanding and challenging behaviour
