Coming from rescue kennels our Giant Schnauzer had severe separation anxiety and was very reactive to strangers on our walks making life incredibly difficult to manage around work and family. Lydia's advice and training has been transformational for me and my boy. I'm now able to leave him alone at home for increasingly long periods and have even been able to introduce him to other walkers out and about! Lydia's knowledge not just of dog behaviour but of different breed traits is incredible and I highly recommend her services! More...
What do you love most about your job?
Honestly, it’s seeing that lightbulb moment – when things just click for both the dog and their owner. Helping people understand their dogs better, and watching those relationships grow stronger, is the absolute best part of what I do. Every dog is different, and it's such a joy to be part of their journey.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs, especially the ones who struggle a bit. Starting my own business gave me the freedom to work one-on-one with families in a way that’s kind, effective, and really personal. I wanted to offer support that’s not just about training – it’s about building trust and connection.
Why should our clients choose you?
I get it – choosing someone to help with your dog is a big decision. What I offer is down-to-earth, supportive guidance tailored to you and your dog. I take the time to really understand what’s going on and come up with practical, positive solutions that actually work in real life. No judgment, just help when you need it.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely! I work with clients online through Zoom or video calls, which works surprisingly well. Whether you're nearby or further afield, we can still tackle behaviour issues, answer questions, or even do a full training plan – all from the comfort of your living room. It’s flexible, friendly, and just as effective.
