I’ll be explaining how to prevent ‘problem’ behaviours in your dog by channelling their natural instincts into positive outlets, and I’ll also be talking about the benefits of involving your kids in your dog’s training.

Welcome to the Active Instincts Dog Training Academy!
Whether your dog is bouncing off the walls, feeling a little unsure of the world, or just needs help staying calm at the vet or groomer, I provide fun, practical training to help you both feel more confident and connected.
Every dog’s natural instincts and unique personality are the key to great training. Over generations, we’ve bred dogs to work alongside us — to chase, herd, search, guard, and comfort — and those traits still shape who they are today. My training helps you harness those instincts in positive, rewarding ways that make sense to your dog, preventing ‘problem’ behaviours before they arise and helping to overcome existing challenges with understanding and purpose. By giving your dog meaningful outlets for their natural drives, we build confidence, fulfilment, and a deeper connection between you both — turning instinct into partnership.
I believe great dog training starts with great communication. My approach is all about teamwork, meaning that both you and your dog have an active role in the process. Together, we focus on giving your dog a sense of agency and choice, helping them become confident, willing partners rather than just followers. Through clear communication, trust, and mutual understanding, I’ll help you and your dog build a strong, lasting relationship – and we’ll all have a lot of fun along the way.
