Over the last decade I have developed a unique method that will calm your dog from the inside out. I don’t do obedience because stress always has a deeper root than disobedience. Your dog doesn’t choose to be naughty, he is just feeling scared or frustrated and he can’t help it.

With my methods I can show you how to calm your dog and build his confidence, without having to spend hours every day exercising him to the point of exhaustion. Your dog doesn’t need more, he needs to learn how to do less, and that’s my expertise. 

You’re a busy woman and you’re taking care of your family, work duties, hobbies and of course your cherished dog every day. It’s busy, I get it. But do you ever long for a day where nothing happens? A day where you can totally relax and be confident you dog can handle whatever happens?

Bruce the Aussie

Let me tell you about Stella.  She was the reason why I started to learn about dog behaviour, because I knew there must be a better way to help her. 

Stella the Rottweiler

At 6 months she lunged and barked for the first time at a Border Collie in our dog class. The trainer got stressed and we were left confused and sad that she had turned in to one of those ‘aggressive’ Rottweilers and we had no idea how to change it.

Jura the Working Cocker

So, we booked a trainer. The trainer told us to ask Stella to sit. Stella of course wouldn’t so the trainer told us to walk a few steps and ask again. Stella wouldn’t sit. So, we walked a few more steps and asked again. No sit. This went on for 45 minutes! We were sent home with the homework of training sit in many different environments. 

Think this helped her reactivity? Not at all....

Once I learned about stress, diet, confidence I started to understand that Stella’s ‘sit training’ was never going to help her, and working in such a stressful environment was probably making her worse, not better. I felt sad for doing the wrong thing , but happy I did manage to change her life in the end by a lot of trail and error.
 

Bruce has taught me how to work through fears and pessimism with new people. Jura taught me the importance of stress management and how to improve separation anxiety. All my dogs have also been on a journey with me learning how diet can make a huge impact on behaviour and stress.  

My other teachers

I have been through this battle  and I know how to get out on the other side. That’s why I love helping all of you amazing dog mums achieve a calm and happy lives with your dogs.
