1-2-1 Dog Training
Personalised Support for Real-Life Challenges (and Joys!)
Every dog is different—and so is every training journey.
That’s why my 1-2-1 sessions are designed around your dog’s unique needs, personality, and pace, with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing.
It’s all about working together as a team, with your dog fully involved in the process. I believe dogs learn best when they’re given a voice, a bit of choice, and a chance to feel heard—because they’re not just pets, they’re our partners. By focusing on communication, trust, and real connection, we can build skills and strengthen the bond between you. It’s not about control—it’s about working with your dog, not on them.
Whether your dog is full of bounce and struggling to switch off, nervous about the world around them, or just needs some gentle guidance navigating vet visits or grooming, I’m here to help them feel calmer, safer, and more connected – both to you and to the world.
In-Person or Online – Support That Fits Your Life
Let’s be honest – life doesn’t always stick to a neat schedule. That’s why I offer both in-person sessions in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and the surrounding areas, as well as flexible online coaching. Whether you’re local or connecting from afar, we’ll work together to create a plan that suits your schedule and your dog’s comfort level.
Online sessions are just as personal and hands-on as in-person ones – so no matter where you are, we’ll work through things side by side in a way that suits you and your dog.
Whether we meet in person or connect online, support is always just a message away.

It’s About More Than “Good Behaviour”
I focus on the root of the behaviour, not just the surface. That means helping your dog learn how to:
- Self-regulate when things get exciting or overwhelming
- Feel safe in new places or situations
- Make good choices without being told what to do every second
- Trust and enjoy handling, grooming, or vet visits
- Build confidence through fun, choice-based training
- Be understood—because behaviour is communication
I prioritise agency, trust, and positive experiences, so your dog can learn how to cope, calm down, and feel in control of their world.
Common Areas I Support:
High-Energy Dogs
Dogs who are “always on,” easily overstimulated, or bounce from 0 to 100 in seconds. We’ll work on helping them find pause, process their feelings, and feel calm in exciting environments.
Nervous or Anxious Dogs
Gentle, confidence-building sessions to help your dog feel more secure in their surroundings – and learn to face the world at their own pace.
Vet & Grooming Confidence (Co-operative Care)
For dogs who find handling, exams, or grooming terrifying, I use consent-based training to give them choice, control, and a voice in the process – so trips to the vet or groomer no longer have to feel scary.
Custom Support for Complex Needs
Not sure how to label what’s going on? That’s okay. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just want things to feel easier – we’ll work together to find what works for you and your dog.
What to Expect:
- One-to-one attention in a calm, supportive environment
- Training tailored to your dog’s emotional needs and learning style
- Progress at your dog’s pace – never rushed, never forced
- Clear, kind, positive reinforcement methods
- Real-life strategies you can use every day
- Optional vet/groomer collaboration if needed
Let’s Help Your Dog Feel Better, Not Just “Behave” Better
Whether you’re looking to build calm, boost confidence, or just have more fun together, my 1-2-1 sessions put your dog’s emotional wellbeing first – because that’s where the real transformation starts.
Get in touch and we’ll start creating a training plan that’s as unique as your dog.
