Helping owners to feel confident, supported and back on track.
If you’re struggling with your dog’s training or behaviour, you don’t have to try to work it out on your own. I offer calm, practical support using kind, effective methods that help dogs feel safer, more confident and easier to live with.
I work with puppies, adolescent dogs and adults, supporting everything from everyday life skills to more complex behaviour challenges.
Many owners contact me worried they have a ‘behaviour problem’, when in reality their dog is going through a normal developmental stage or needs clearer foundations. So if you’re unsure where to start, I’ll help you choose the right support for you and your dog.

Surviving Adolescence
This service is designed for adolescent dogs and their owners who are struggling with everyday life skills or emerging behaviour challenges. Adolescence can feel confusing, frustrating and overwhelming — often just when you thought things were going well.
Why adolescence feels so hard
Adolescent dogs are going through huge physical, emotional and developmental changes. Behaviours like pulling on the lead, selective hearing or increased reactivity are common — and they’re not a sign you’ve failed.
Clear guidance, not quick fixes
This isn’t about suppressing behaviour or expecting your dog to ‘just grow out of it’. You’ll get structured, practical support that helps you work with your dog, building skills that last beyond the teenage phase.
Support for real life
Training is tailored to your dog, your home and your day-to-day routines. The focus is on calm, achievable progress that helps you feel confident handling challenges as they arise.

Freedom for all
Every dog needs time off lead – to run, sniff, play and enjoy just being a dog.
But if your dog hasn’t got the greatest recall – or they’re fearful of other dogs, it isn’t always possible to give them the freedom they deserve.
That’s why I use and recommend Learchild Dog Field. It provides the perfect safe and secure environment to allow your dog to do the things they enjoy doing.
