Helping you understand your dog so that you can both live a happier life together

Hello I'm Sally

I have a 4 year old chocolate Labrador called Ronnie who loves to eat and play and a black and white cat called Gizmo who also likes to eat and play! I often hear from people that my passion for dogs shines through.

Things haven't always been easy with Ronnie as she was attacked as a puppy and became fearful of dogs and severely vet fearful. This encoraged me to learn the indepth skills needed to support her with her fear's. Based on techniques used by world renowned behaviorists and ethologists I now implement these with people struggling with similar challenges.

I love to see how these changes can improve the lives of people and their dogs.  I am fascinated about how dog's learn and by dog's emotional needs. Only when we really understand these needs can our training and behaviour goals be truly effective. I keep training simple, easy and enjoyable.
