Helping Dogs. Delighting Their People
Life with your dog should be enjoyable, not stressful.
Whether you're struggling with a puppy who's biting everything in sight, a dog that pulls like a train, ignores recall, barks at everything or reacts to other dogs, you're in the right place.

Dog Training
Amazing! I am very happy with Christine's service. Previously me and my dog (Chihuahua) could not get in close contact with anyone. Not people, pets, trucks, animals.. anything! Christine came by and within 15 minutes my dog was starting to understand how to behave around others. Thank you Christine, very appreciated. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Helping dogs and their people enjoy life together. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a worried owner become confident again or watching a dog overcome a challenge that has been affecting family life. My goal is always to make training enjoyable, practical and life-changing for both ends of the lead.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always loved working with dogs and being outdoors, but what really inspired me was seeing the difference good training makes to people's everyday lives. I wanted to create a service that provides expert, personalised support while genuinely caring about every client and every dog. Helping dogs and delighting their people has become the foundation of everything I do.

1:1 dog training
Personalised one-to-one training designed around your dog's individual needs. Whether you're working on recall, loose lead walking, calm greetings, confidence or general manners, I'll help you achieve real-life results using positive, reward-based methods that are practical, enjoyable and easy to continue at home.
Behaviour Support
If your dog's behaviour is causing daily stress, you're not alone. I provide kind, practical behaviour support for issues including barking, reactivity, fear, anxiety, confidence building and everyday challenges. Every plan is tailored to your dog, with clear guidance and written follow-up notes so you know exactly what to do between sessions.
Puppy training
Give your puppy the very best start. From toilet training and biting to socialisation, confidence and life skills, I'll help you lay strong foundations that prevent common problems and create a happy, well-adjusted family dog. Available as one-off sessions or complete puppy programmes.
Done for you training
Short on time? I can do much of the training for you. Instead of trying to fit daily practice around work and family life, I work directly with your dog throughout the week, building skills and good habits before showing you exactly how to maintain them. Perfect for busy owners who want faster progress with less stress.
Training & social walks
Friendly, supportive group walks designed to help you and your dog practise real-life skills together. We regularly focus on recall, loose lead walking, confidence, enrichment and social skills in carefully managed environments that make learning enjoyable for both dogs and owners.
Webinars & workshops
Learn from the comfort of your own home. My live webinars cover popular topics such as recall, puppies, barking and confidence building, giving you practical advice, demonstrations and the opportunity to ask questions without the cost or travel of an in-person session.
Puppy pop-ins
Perfect for young puppies whose owners are juggling work or busy schedules. I'll visit during the day to provide training, toilet breaks, enrichment and positive experiences, helping your puppy develop good habits while giving you complete peace of mind.
