I work in person around South Manchester, but offer zoom sessions to anyone in or out of this area. My training aims to help people work on their dog's behaviour out of the house, i.e on walks or generally in public.

I’m perfect for you if you:

• Have a dog that doesn't listen to you outside the house

• Cannot let your dog off the lead (due to a lack of recall or lack of confidence)

• Have a dog that pulls on the lead

• Currently walk your dog mainly on a short lead

• Want to broaden your horizons with your dog and take them to new places

I may not be the right fit for you if your dog is currently:

• Struggling with behaviours around another dog in your home

• Resource Guarding

• Reacting to things on walks by barking or lunging

• Displaying separation anxiety

If your dog is struggling with these it is best to get in touch with a qualified dog behaviourist. However feel free to get in touch and lets chat, if I cannot help I can point you in the direction of a suitable positive reinforcement trainer or behaviourist who can!

I offer home skill building sessions to practice helpful training activities that will form the foundation of training needed for walks. These are a great opportunity for you to practice and gain confidence so you know what to do when faced with a real life situation.

I also offer outdoor training and coaching on walks in a suitable local green space, where I will guide you on handling and communicating with your dog to make you feel confident and to make your walks look how you want them to be.

My dog Ernie is a trained stooge dog who may join our sessions to help you to practice around dog distractions.

I use kind and ethical methods of positive reinforcement and management to make sure your learning and your dog's learning is fun and enjoyable, and also to protect your dog's welfare during the learning process.

There is no use of slip leads, prong or e-collars or other aversive tools. If you currently use these tools don't worry, we can have a chat about the pros and cons and work to find a way to help you handle your dog using kinder methods.

Home visits last up to 1.5hrs. There are fewer distractions in the home which allows for more varied learning, going through a range of techniques and activities that will help.

Outdoor sessions last up to 1hr. Each dog is different and feels different day to day. I will always observe and assess your dog to make sure they are happy and handling the experience. Sessions may be cut short if needed.

Home visits cost £89

Outdoor sessions cost £69
