I’m here to help your reactive dog be calm, capable and confident - ready to take on the wild world.

My dog training journey started with my Border Collie, Jasper. The dog who pretty much forced me to learn everything I know about behaviour and reactivity.

When I got Jasper, I thought we’d be spending our days exploring the mountains, hanging out in cafés and living that “dream dog” life. And to a certain extent we did, but it began to be clear, that he was stressed and not thriving in a lot of daily situations and this showed through reactivity at cars, bikes, other dogs… and eventually elderly people! This is when I knew I had to do something fast. Life for us was stressful, embarrassing and honestly, pretty isolating.

Over time (and after a lot of mistakes), I stopped trying to just control him and started focusing on understanding and meeting his needs, not pushing him to be in those situations, building his motivation and value in me and getting clearer communication in place so he fully understood what I was asking of him.

Bit by bit, things changed. Jasper went from being constantly on edge to able to walk past triggers, chill in bars and restaurants and actually enjoy being out in the world again.

After working with Jasper through reactivity and sensitivity, I became passionate about helping others build calm, confident relationships with their dogs. I’ve since trained under some of the leading trainers in the industry, learning modern, motivational methods that actually work in everyday life.

Now, I help owners cut through the noise, understand their dogs and make real, lasting progress, without judgement or harsh methods.
