Trainer or Behaviourist? What’s the difference?
Training is for all the typical things you’d teach a new puppy: toileting outside, sit, lie-down, recall, tricks…. It can be simple or challenging. It’s teaching when your dog is in a relaxed, neutral state of mind.
Behaviour consultations are more in depth and tackle more complex issues. They’re for dogs who struggle to find that relaxed and neutral state of mind. If you’re dog is anxious, worried by other dogs, barks and lunges at people, needs help being home alone, or is fighting with other dogs in the home, a behaviour consultation is for you.
I offer both training and behaviour consultations. If you’re not sure which you need, book a free discovery call here and we can work out what’s best for you.

“WHY DOES MY DOG….?”
Do you have a burning question that you wish you could ask a professional? Now’s your chance!
From tame to wild, hilarious to scary, and the sublime to the ridiculous. Ask my any dog related question and I will provide you with the answer. Calling on the latest and greatest scientific knowledge, coupled with over 30 years of experience walking, training, obsessing and analysing the dogs in our homes. There are not many things I haven’t seen. But go on, try and surprise me!
General discussion or live training demo depending on your question.

You can book here.
INDIVIDUAL WALK
Available in E5, E8, E9, and N16 postcodes.
Does your dog bark and lunge at people, other dogs or traffic on walks? Are you worried about letting anyone else walk them for fear of what could happen?
It’s scary entrusting our barking, lunging, reactive dogs to other people. Will they know what to do? What happens if a dog or person appears unexpectedly? Our reactive dogs are unique and special and they need a certain kind of support when out walking.
Having had a reactive dog myself for the past 6 years I am well used to walking - and avoiding! - the many dangers (and by dangers, I mean normal stuff to most people, but things we know our dogs won’t cope with!). London is a busy spot and we are constantly presented with new challenges.
I will come fully loaded with chicken and treats and ready to be your dogs number one protector on our adventures.
Available in E5, E8, E9 and N16 postcodes only.
Monday and Thursday afternoon slots.
Block of 4x 1hr walks in local area £65 per walk book here
Block of 4x 90min walks, inc car transport 15mins each way to quiet area, £95 per walk book here
BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATION
Whether your dog barks and lunges on walks, is guarding items in the home, or can’t be left alone, I can help tackle problem behaviour with a plan personalised for you. My philosophy is that kind is best. So whatever we do, we'll be using science-backed, ethical, reward-based methods, and helping to develop a strong, trusting bond between you and your dog. So all dogs can be confident dogs.
Do you have time to chat? We can start with a free 30min call so you can tell me about the challenges you're facing. I can then recommend the best plan for you and arrange a time to visit you at home for a full behaviour consultation.
Depending on how many sessions you need the cost will vary from £595 for a consultation and follow-up, to £1,495 for full support and ongoing training.
You can find out more about my behaviour packages at The Dog Psychologist. Or book a call here to talk through the challenges you’re facing, your goals, and the best plan to suit your needs.
Behaviour clients will need a veterinary referral in order for us to work together. This is to make sure any problems you’re experiencing with your dog don’t have a medical cause. You can forward the form below to your veterinary surgeon. Or book a call here and we can chat through next steps for you.
