About Us
Hi, I'm Jo!
As a qualified Dog Training professional and Behaviour Consultant, I am dedicated to improving the lives of companion dogs and their people. I support passionate Dog-People by building up their knowledge, skills and confidence whilst, importantly, having fun!
I became a dog trainer to initially help my own dog, Jasmin (pictured with me!). After I adopted her, I didn't understand why she would react so badly when seeing other dogs and the things I saw on TV or read in books either didn't work, made things worse or didn't feel right to me! So I decided to study to become a Dog Trainer and qualified in 2017. I now understand not only my dog better, but the behaviour many Pet Parents and Dog Professionals discuss with me.
I love sharing my knowledge and helping people understand their dog better too! I have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs and I'm passionate about improving communication between a human and their dog because of the deep, unconditional love it brings into both lives.
Our Philosophy
I want you and your dog to feel calm and confident, together!
I believe our role as dog owners can be best described as: Pet Parents
By seeing our role as a ‘Parent’ it helps us to think differently about our relationship with our dogs and our approach to teaching them. Instead of teaching ‘obedience’ we teach ‘manners’, instead of ‘commands’ we use ‘cues’ and
if your dog is doing something ‘wrong’ we think about what the ‘right’ behaviour would be so we can teach them this.
The whole dynamic of the relationship is much more nurturing, relaxed and fun!
