Hi there, I'm Samantha

A Dog Trainer and Rescue Behavioural Consultant

My journey into becoming a dog trainer began in 2015 when I began to foster rescue dogs, I wanted to learn as much as I could to help the dogs that were temporarily in my care. My love and passion only grew through ongoing training and education.

I have gained a wealth of knowledge in canine behaviour, psychology and nutrition, enabling me to provide exceptional devices for dog owners looking to create a harmonious bond with their dogs.

If you are looking for help with how to train your dog, then you've come to the right place.

You May Feel Like:

  • You Feel Disconnected because there is a barrier between you and your dog.

  • You're doing everything right but you aren't seeing the progress you hoped for.

  • You're alone because no one truly understands what it's like to live with a nervous or traumatised rescue.

As an expert in canine behaviour and mental health, I recognise the challenges owners face when they feel unable to help their dogs. This understanding drives me to offer training sessions and behavioural assessments focused on effective communication and a deep understanding of dog body language.

My goal is to enhance the overall interaction between dogs and their owners, ensuring a happier and more harmonious relationship.

Bridging The Gap Between You And Your Beloved Dog!

My Journey:

🐶 Over ten years of offering a safe space and support 

For over ten years, my family and I have fostered overseas rescues, offering a safe space for dogs from difficult backgrounds to land and begin again. Over time, we started to welcome dogs who were more fearful, withdrawn, and traumatised. These dogs needed more than love, they needed time, patience, and a different kind of support. 

🐶 I struggled to find the right help 

When I struggled to find the right help for them, I decided to become that help. I immersed myself in studying canine behaviour, trauma-informed training, and gentle, fear-free approaches to support dogs who found the world overwhelming. 

🐶 Specialist with nervous dogs 

Now, I specialise in working with nervous and shut-down dogs, helping both dogs and their humans build trust, connection, and confidence, at their pace. My approach is always kind, non-judgemental, and tailored to meet you where you are. 

🐶 Help is only a quick message away 

Whether you’re a new rescue dog owner or have been living in survival mode for a while, I’m here to help you and your dog find your rhythm - together. 

Real Support for Real Life with Your Rescue Dog!

Comprehensive Canine Care: First Aid, Emotional Intelligence, and Behavioural Expertise

Ensuring Safety, Emotional Well-being, and Behavioural Balance for Your Dog

Pet First Aid:

I possess professional-level expertise in pet first aid, ensuring that your dog is always in safe hands. This skill set is crucial for both their physical and emotional well-being, allowing me to provide immediate care during emergencies.

Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness:

My dedication to enhancing a dog's emotional intelligence and mindfulness enables me to foster a nurturing and serene environment during training and behavioural assessments. This approach is key to supporting their emotional well-being, helping them develop into well-balanced and content pets.

Separation Related Behaviours:

I take pride in being a recognised expert in managing Separation Related Behaviours. This expertise allows me to craft specialised training plans, tailored to each dog's specific needs. This is all done remotely so as not to cause more stress to your dog.

During initial behavioural assessments, I carefully observe your dogs body language and behaviour ensuring a targeted and effective approach to their behaviour modification.
