Separation anxiety in dogs isn’t always obvious, but the impact on both dog and owner can be overwhelming. I’ve worked with families whose dogs went from panicked and destructive to calm and relaxed, all through gentle, structured change. If your dog struggles when left alone, I’ll help you understand what’s happening and how to turn things around with patience, compassion, and practical guidance.

When I met Bima, she was reactive towards people and dogs, struggling with control both at home and in public. By gently reshaping routines and introducing calm structure, we helped her shift from anxious to balanced in just a short space of time. Whether it’s reactive barking, attention-seeking, or unpredictable behaviour outside, I’ll show you how to create meaningful change for your dog and your life.

With nearly 25 years of hands-on experience and over 2,000 behaviour cases behind me, I help owners resolve all kinds of dog behaviour problems with calm, proven methods. I work in the dog’s home environment to get to the root of the issues and create simple, structured plans that bring results. If you're feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behaviour, I’ll guide you step by step to a calmer, more balanced life together.

Excessive greetings might look charming at first, but for many households they quickly become overwhelming, chaotic, or even dangerous. I help owners take back calm control of these moments, creating structure, boundaries, and new habits that bring lasting change. With the right energy and a few smart adjustments, your dog can go from frenzied greeter to calm companion in no time.

Nervous and fearful dogs aren't being awkward, they're communicating deep emotional discomfort. With calm support, structure, and the right behavioural plan, I help owners guide their dogs from fear to confidence. Whether it’s barking, trembling, or avoiding everyday life, change is not only possible—it’s often life-changing.

Nervous aggression in dogs can deeply impact daily life, creating stress for both the dog and the owner. Often misunderstood as dominance, this fear-based behaviour needs a calm, thoughtful approach that builds trust and confidence. With years of hands-on experience, I offer practical, breed-appropriate strategies that support your dog’s emotional wellbeing and lead to lasting change.

Many dogs today are living without calm leadership, which leads to anxiety, unwanted behaviours, and disconnection in the home. I help owners bring clarity, structure, and direction to their relationship with their dog, fostering trust, security, and lasting change. Leadership isn’t about being strict, it’s about calmly guiding your dog so they feel safe, supported, and better behaved.

Muzzle training doesn’t have to feel daunting or negative, it can be a calm, positive, and even rewarding experience for both you and your dog. I help owners understand the real reasons for using a muzzle, from safety to behavioural training, and show them how to introduce it without stress or struggle. With the right approach, a muzzle becomes a useful tool that empowers both the dog and the owner, helping to restore control and confidence.

Many dogs I see are lacking calm, consistent leadership and it’s at the root of a lot of the problems owners face. I work with dogs at the tougher end of the spectrum, and I’ve learnt that positive leadership is the single most powerful thing we can offer them. In this guide, I share real-world advice and simple, structured ways to restore trust, build respect, and bring calm back to your relationship.

If your dog pulls on the lead or rushes out of the door, it’s not just frustrating, it’s a missed opportunity to set the tone for a calmer walk. I break down a simple, step-by-step method to help you transform those first moments from chaos into calm connection. With a little patience and leadership, you’ll see real progress in just a few days.

Jumping up might seem playful at first, but it can quickly become an embarrassing or even risky behaviour, especially with larger dogs or elderly visitors. I’ll show you how to calm this down using simple, consistent training that rewards polite greetings and sets clearer boundaries. With the right approach, your dog can learn to greet people calmly, making life easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

Used properly, a crate can become one of the most valuable tools in your dog's life, offering a sense of security and helping with sleep and house training. But when misused, it can encourage neglect and become a crutch for poor training. I’ll walk you through how I introduce crates to both puppies and adult dogs, with practical advice that helps your dog love their crate and use it in all the right ways.

It might sound simple, but calmly leading your dog through a doorway can change everything. I’ll show you how to reset the tone from the moment you reach for the lead, teaching your dog that patience and calmness open the door, not chaos and pulling. This one shift can bring real transformation to your walks, behaviour at thresholds, and the overall feel of your relationship.

It might feel unnatural at first, but learning when to ignore your dog can be one of the most powerful tools in your kit. I use selective ignoring to help dogs break cycles of attention-seeking that feed anxiety and stress. It’s not about being unkind, it’s about being clear, calmness gets results, not demand behaviour.

Many owners unknowingly create a whirlwind of excitement when they come home, only to wonder why their dog keeps jumping up and going wild. I teach owners how to greet their dogs in a calm, canine-appropriate way, helping to lower the emotional temperature and avoid reinforcing unwanted behaviours. A calmer greeting creates a calmer dog, and it all starts with us learning a bit of self-control.

Some people shy away from using food in dog training, thinking it's bribery, but I see it as smart motivation. Dogs, like us, do things for a reason, and using food can be a powerful way to reinforce good behaviour, especially with recall and heelwork. When used thoughtfully, food builds connection, sharpens focus, and can turn a disengaged dog into a willing partner.

For many dogs, fireworks are a living nightmare, and I’ve seen just how much distress they cause in my work. Too often, owners try to comfort their dog with human-style reassurance, which sadly can make things worse. I help owners understand how to offer calm, confident leadership instead, alongside simple, drug-free steps to make fireworks season more bearable.

Not every dog needs a marathon run, and over‑exercising can be just as harmful as under‑exercising. I help owners find that sweet spot of moderate and varied activity, like ball play, hiking, cycling, even water work, tailored to age, breed, and lifestyle. Together, we build a sustainable fitness routine that keeps your dog engaged, well‑behaved, and happily balanced.

Aggression towards people is one of the most serious issues I deal with because the consequences can be devastating, not just for you, but for your dog too. Under the Dangerous Dogs Act, even seemingly minor incidents like barking or jumping up can lead to legal action, and in some cases, seizure or destruction of the dog for more serious behaviours. I help owners understand the risks, navigate the law, and develop practical, humane strategies to manage and reduce aggression safely.

Dog-to-dog aggression is the most common issue I help owners with, often rooted in poor socialisation, genetics, or trauma from past attacks. These behaviours don’t just appear from nowhere, and with the right understanding and approach, including careful muzzle training, we can make real progress. I guide owners through the process of rebuilding trust and calm around other dogs, one steady step at a time.
