How I Train Dogs—and Coach Families—to Find Calm and Confidence at Home

You don’t need to dominate your dog—you need to understand them.

I help families create calmer homes through dog training that’s ethical, practical, and relationship-first.

No fear. No force. Just real-world solutions, built on trust and structure.

Why Training Philosophy Matters

Training isn’t just about obedience—it’s about trust, safety, and communication.

How you train your dog shapes their confidence, behaviour, and your bond for life.

That’s why I take an approach rooted in clarity, calmness, and connection—not dominance, fear, or frustration.

Whether you’re dealing with leash reactivity, anxiety, barking, or general chaos, I guide you with tools that build trust and give your dog a clear path forward.

  • ✅ Dogs thrive on clear structure and routine

  • ✅ Calm leadership builds lasting trust

  • ✅ Families deserve customized support

  • ✅ Good training is never about pain or punishment

  • ✅ Force-free doesn’t mean passive—it means fair, consistent, and thoughtful

WHAT I BELIEVE IN

WHAT I WON’T DO

No shortcuts. No intimidation. No shame.

You won’t find outdated or harsh methods here. I don’t use:

  • ❌ Shock collars or prong collars

  • ❌ Alpha rolls, yelling, or leash pops

  • ❌ “One-size-fits-all” obedience drills

  • ❌ Shaming owners or blaming the dog

I train by building trust, not fear—and I teach you how to do the same.

What You Can Expect

A structured, supportive process that fits your life—and your dog.

Every session is designed to be clear, calm, and practical. Here’s what working with me looks like:

  • In-home sessions tailored to your family and space

  • Coaching that explains why behaviours happen—not just how to suppress them

  • A plan you can stick to—without needing to become a “dog expert” overnight

  • Guidance that’s direct, supportive, and grounded in 30+ years of leadership experience

This isn’t obedience bootcamp. It’s family-centred coaching for a calmer life with your dog.

You don’t need to yell. You don’t need to give up. And you don’t need to do this alone.

I’ll help you and your dog find calm—together.
