Online Coaching
1. You can book a consultation and tell me a bit about your dog and their struggles via our book consult page or by sending me a WhatsApp message.
2. We will then have a longer call where we go over everything ‘your dog’, which will usually last around 60 minutes. I’ll ask you questions about your dog’s health and lifestyle first, and then we will go on to discussing the issues you are facing and how we can manage them and change the behaviour.
3. After the session you will be given a training plan with your goals in mind as well as plans on how to manage your dog’s behaviour and meet their specific needs. We will arrange any further sessions.
5. I keep up to date with you via Whatsapp, where I am available whenever you need me. We will exchange videos and ideas on how to help your dog and get you to where you want to be.
In-person Coaching
1. You book a consult and tell me a bit about your dog and their struggles.
2. I will contact you to further book a consultation and will need you to go over other aspects of your dog’s needs like their sleep and diet to help us understand the bigger picture. We will also decide on a place to meet, either in your home or we can also meet out on walks if the dog is ready.
3. I will show you the skills needed to manage your dog’s behaviour and then how we can change it.
4. I keep up to date with you via Whatsapp, where I am available whenever you need me. We will exchange videos and ideas on how to help your dog and get you to where you want to be and meet up for weekly sessions to get to where we want to be.
I offer both singular sessions and month-long programs.
Singular Session
We will meet for a consultation either online or in person and decide on what areas need the most work. We will go over how to manage, and then change the undesirable behaviour. You will be given a small training plan and have access to videos to help you for after the session. I will contact you a few days after the coaching to see where you are at and if we need to book any further sessions.

Monthly Coaching
We will have a consultation and go over the sort of issues your dog is facing, how to manage and gradually change them. You will include daily access to me via Whatsapp with the ability to send video updates. Online owners will have bi-weekly check-ins and in-person owners will have weekly sessions with me. As well as this, we will keep the training plan up-to-date with any changes that need to happen. You can continue the training plan from month to month until you feel confident you have the tools you need. After this, you and your dog will graduate!

Please note that not all issues can be dealt with in one session. Sometimes it is not in the best interest of dog or owner to try and handle complex issues in just one hour.
Frequently asked questions and worries
What do we discuss during the calls?
The first thing we will go over the issues you and your dog are facing and what our goals are. After this, we will discuss just about everything to do with your dog, from health and fitness, the equipment you use on your walks, as well as their diet and daily routines. This makes sure we aren’t missing anything that your dog might need. We will then go over the specific issues and how to manage them, then how we are going to change the behaviour. You will be taught all the skills you need gradually over the weeks as not to overwhelm anyone. At the end of the session, we will go over our initial plan and how you feel. I will send you a training plan, and off we go!
What will we be working on in each session?
Each dog/owner partnership is different, as are the issue they are facing. I will create a training plan for you and your dog so you will never have any surprises about what the contents of each session will be, unless I need to change it to meet your dog’s needs.
How many sessions can I have a month?
With online monthly coaching, you will have three sessions in total. With in-person monthly coaching, you will receive four sessions in total. All of these dates will be arranged after our initial meeting. Both of these options come with access to me via Whatsapp throughout the duration of our training.
What if the behaviour has been going on for a while?
The length of time a ‘problem’ has been around isn’t always an indicator of the severity of it. Sometimes, all we have to do is show the dog another way to cope, but we will only know if we give it a go.
My dog has more than one issue…
and I have more than one solution!
I’m worried I’ll be judged for my dog’s behaviour…
I’m not here to judge you, I’m here to help you. The fact you are thinking about reaching out proves that you deeply care about your dog and want to make a change. I’m here to be the support system you need, so you can support your dog. Look at my ‘about’ section on the website to help you see that I’ve been where you are, and I understand.
I’ve tried to train my dog before and it hasn’t worked, what’s different now?
If you have tried to train your dog before, whether on your own or with a trainer, and things have not worked out, that’s all okay, it’s just more information for us to work on. We will look at what hasn’t worked in the past and create a plan that will ensure we can reach your goals.
