Tailored dog training programmes based at my private paddock near Swaffham, supporting dogs of all ages — whether you’re raising a puppy, navigating challenges on walks, or working through something that doesn’t feel straightforward.

How My Services Work
Support is tailored to your dog, but we will begin somewhere they can feel comfortable enough to learn.
Here’s how it works:
One-to-one dog training at my location near Swaffham
Most 1-1 dog training sessions and the Reactivity Programme begin at my private paddock before gradually progressing into suitable real-world environments.
A progressive approach
We work at your dog’s pace, building skills and confidence step by step rather than throwing them straight into difficult situations.
In-home behaviour consultations
Where appropriate, behaviour consultations and some initial sessions take place in your home. This allows me to understand your dog in their own environment and decide on the most suitable next steps, which may include ongoing support at home, at my training location, or a combination of both.
What to Expect When We Work Together
Together, we take the time to understand what’s going on for your dog and find a way forward that feels right for both of you.
Step 1
Understanding Your Dog
Behaviour consultations may take place in your home, at my training location, or online, depending on your dog and the support needed.
We look at your dog’s behaviour, their environment, and what they’re finding difficult, so we can build a clear picture of how best to support them.
Step 2
Making Sense Of What’s Going On
We look at your dog’s behaviour, considering their emotional responses, coping strategies, environment, and any contributing factors that may be influencing how they respond.
Step 3
A Plan That Works For You And Your Dog
Based on your dog’s individual needs, we’ll create a structured training plan with clear, progressive steps to help build confidence and create lasting change.
Support may take place at home, at my training location, or a combination of both, depending on what will be most effective for your dog.
Step 4
Positive, Lasting Change
With the right support and consistent practice, we can make meaningful, lasting change in your dog’s behaviour.
Ongoing support is tailored to your dog’s progress, with sessions taking place in a range of environments to support their development, including my private paddock, local training areas, or at home where appropriate.

Important Notes
If your dog’s behaviour has suddenly changed, please consult your vet to rule out underlying medical issues.
Some UK pet insurance policies may cover the cost of behaviour consultations when carried out by a suitably qualified behaviourist.
To qualify, many insurers require a veterinary referral before behavioural support begins. If your policy covers behaviour treatment, please check its specific requirements with your insurer.
If a veterinary referral is required, you can download the form below and ask your veterinary practice to complete and return it to me.
Insurance cover varies between providers and policies. Please confirm eligibility and referral requirements directly with your insurer before booking.
