Bert is an anxious dog whose reactive behaviour escalated through my own

fault. I got complacent, I got lazy, and I stopped fulfilling their needs.

I understand what you are going through. And I can help you transform your dog’s behaviour

with a bespoke, guided coaching program.

Follow our journey to see how I am working with Bert to help him cope in this tricky world.

Ernie and Bert are siblings. Ernie hinders me with my training progress with Bert. Why?

Because as puppies I didn’t put training into place for them to be comfortably separated from

each other. This means that I have to train two dogs at the same time.

Two dogs that have separate needs. This is difficult, it frustrates me, but I have to get over

that and work with what it is.

So, allowing training to slide is not an option for me, or them.

Specialising in Reactive Dogs

Dogs and ethical, positive reinforcement training is my passion.

Seeing your face, when behaviours improve through the training methods put into place, by you, makes it all worthwhile.

How I came to be owned by B & E

Bert and Ernie came into my life as 12-week-old puppies.

I wasn’t a trainer then, but I had always had dogs. I didn’t take them to dog training.

I thought I knew what I was doing. How wrong I was! I got a book to help me and when Ernie began hurtling across the park to meet other dogs I put a plan into action to stop this.

Unfortunately, the plan went wrong. Because I used punishment. I had no idea.

I thought the book, written by a professional, renowned dog trainer would create my perfect dog!

The use of punishment created a dog that didn’t want to come back to me. Because I scared him. I was distraught. And I vowed to learn more about dog training.

My Journey Continues

And here I am 8 years later, having completed numerous great courses in pet dog training, scent work and behaviour modification sharing my skills and knowledge with you so you can create a dog that you are proud to show off, walk anywhere confidently and a dog that wants to hang with you.

Because of my dogs, I now specialise in Reactive and fear based, anxious behaviours such as seperation related behaviours, and guarding/protective behaviours such as resource guarding people and objects as well as adverse reactions towards people and dogs.

I am level 6 behaviour trained, completed courses with APDT UK and Absolute Dogs, Dog nostics ,UK Sniffer Dogs and Scentwork UK.

This has shown me that my little Bertie isn’t a naughty, aggressive dog that I am embarrassed by his behaviour, but I learned and understand that a timid, anxious dog who has been asking me to keep him safe and give him space from dogs that he doesn’t know.

Once I put training into place, there was no need for embarrassment.

How I have Grown

I was once an anxious, frustrated, isolated dog owner who made some bad choices with my dogs. Now I run a successful, busy training business, I am a full member of APDT UK a leading professional organisation for dog trainers having been assessed as a fantastic force-free trainer. I help clients achieve their dream dog.

You can own your dream dog with my support and knowledge.

If you are reading this and thinking that you could do with that little bit of extra support, feel free to get in touch. I won’t judge you, won’t talk jargon and am never pushy. I will never give you false hope.

There are no magic wands in dog training, but with my bespoke, targeted behaviour plan, or class content, you will see a noticeable improvement in your dog’s behaviour with my support along the way.

My techniques are designed to be time-saving so you are not spending hours training your dogs.

Work and learn with me and I will coach you, offering you exceptional support, whether this is one of my bespoke behaviour programs, 1-2-1 packages or one of our classes.

You have got this, and I will be there to listen to your anxieties, triumphs, tears and laughter! Because training will be fun!You will see wow moments, and immediate results in some areas, but for real, long-lasting results patience, time and understanding are needed.

My aim is to make training fun, set an easy plan, use a little of your time, (because you are busy!) and most of all a stress-free life!
