About Us

Your Certified & Insured Dog Trainer in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Durham, Sunderland & Surrounding Areas

Now in my third year of business, I have successfully worked with over 100 dogs and their families, earning 48 five-star reviews from owners who were once exactly where you are now. My approach is defined by one core principle: I "really listen".


I understand that your situation is unique, which is why I never offer "off-the-shelf" products or generic advice. Instead, I take the time to understand your specific lifestyle and struggles, adapting every session to fit your needs.


I see myself as a partner in your journey, not just a trainer.

Whether we are tackling Reactivity, Anxiety or Rehoming my goal is to make sure you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

By creating a fully individualised training plan, I help you move past the stress and towards a calm, confident future with your dog, backed by the experience of hundreds of successful cases.

Why I use Kind & Ethical Training Methods (and Why It Works)

My commitment to kindness isn't just a personal preference; it is a professional requirement backed by strict industry standards.


As a ‘Gold’ Member of the Pet Professional Network and a member of the International Institute for Canine Ethics (IICE), I am required to share my Continuing Professional Development (CPD) records monthly.


This ensures that I am constantly up-to-date with the latest scientific research, guaranteeing that the training I deliver is safe, ethical, and effective for both you and your dog.


This dedication to ethical and updated training methods means I focus on building trust rather than fear.

I believe that real results come from a place of safety, which is why I prioritise caring, force-free techniques that strengthen the bond between you and your companion.


By addressing the root cause of the behaviour with compassion, we together can achieve lasting results that turn a "difficult" dog into a happy, well-adjusted family member.
