Rescue Dog Training & Behaviour
Every rescue dog is different.
I offer personalised 1 to 1 behaviour and training support, tailored to the individual needs of you and your rescue dog.
Whether you're welcoming a rescue from the UK or abroad, or you've begun to notice difficulties as your dog settles in, I can help you understand what's happening and decide on the right support.
Challenges such as anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, difficulty around people or dogs, or simply adjusting to a completely new life can all need a different approach.
The best place to start is by telling me a little about your dog. I'll help you work out the most appropriate next step.
Recently adopted a rescue dog?
Bringing home a rescue dog is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be a time of significant change and uncertainty for both dog and owner.
Many rescue dogs need time, patience, and understanding to feel safe, decompress, and adjust to their new lives.
Read my guide to helping your rescue dog settle into their new home.
I Can Help With:
✔️ Settling in and adjusting to life in a new home
✔️ Fear, anxiety and difficulty coping with change
✔️ Reactivity towards dogs, people, vehicles or the environment
✔️ Resource guarding and other more complex behaviour
✔️ Building confidence around walks and new environments
✔️ Introductions to existing dogs and other members of the household
✔️ Visitors and unfamiliar people
✔️ Difficulties with being left alone
Every rescue dog is different. Together, we can help your dog settle, build confidence and begin to feel safe and secure in their new life with you.
Experienced Support for Rescue Dogs
Rescue dogs have been a significant part of my work for many years. I’ve worked extensively with dogs adjusting to life after difficult or uncertain beginnings, including both UK and overseas rescues.
I previously worked as the Behaviourist for a large rescue charity, providing behavioural support within rescue, short-term foster care, and support for adopters as their dogs transitioned into home life.
I’ve supported rescue dogs experiencing fear and anxiety, resource guarding, aggression, reactivity and difficulty coping with change. This experience continues to shape the way I work today, with an individual, compassionate and evidence-led approach to every dog.
Not Sure Where To Start?
Every dog is different. Whether you’ve recently adopted a rescue dog, need help with settling in, or are struggling with behaviour challenges, tell me a little about your dog and I’ll help you find the most appropriate support for your dog.
