No. While I specialise in helping families create safe, respectful relationships between children and dogs, I also work with puppy owners, adult dog owners and anyone wanting to better understand and train their dog.
I use kind, positive, science based training methods that focus on building trust, understanding and clear communication. My aim is to help you understand why your dog behaves the way they do and give you practical strategies that fit into everyday life.
The best time to to start is from the day your puppy comes home. My Pre-Puppy Program and Puppy Starter Program helps you prepare your home, understand what to expect and set your puppy up for success.
Absolutely. Many of the principles covered in my new dog programs are equally valuable for rescue dogs as they settle into their new home and adjust to family life.
Yes. Many family challenges are caused by excitement, misunderstanding or unclear communication rather than aggression. Together we'll develop practical management strategies, help your dog learn appropriate behaviours and teach children how to interact safely and respectfully.
Where appropriate, yes. I believe the best results happen when the whole family understands the dog. Children are included in sessions when it's safe, appropriate and beneficial for both them and your dog.
No. The Dog Detective, Dog Ambassador and Be Your Dog's BFF sessions are suitable for children with or without a family dog. The Junior Handlers sessions are designed for children who have a dog they can work with.
Dog Savvy Kids Club is designed for children aged 7 - 13 years.
No. There is never any pressure to interact with a dog. The Fear of Dogs program progresses at your child's pace, and they remain in control throughout the process.
Yes, when you're ready. Both the children's and adult programs include carefully managed in-person sessions, with the opportunity to meet my dog, Jazz, in a safe and supportive environment.
Session length vary depending on the service. Most private training sessions are approximately one hour, while fear of dogs sessions are 15-30 minutes to support gradual learning.
Every dog and every family is different. During your Consultation Call, we'll discuss your goals and recommend the level of support that's right for you.
Additional 1-2-1 sessions and training support are available if you'd like ongoing guidance after completing your program.
