What sets me apart is the truly holistic approach I take—looking at the whole dog, not just the behaviour or the diet in isolation. With qualifications in both canine behaviour and nutrition, I offer support that goes deeper than surface-level fixes.

What do you love most about your job?
Allowing owners to understand and communicate effectively with their dogs. Creating safe, enjoyable and natural outlets to allow dog's needs to be met in a fun and nurturing environment.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Finn - my first rescue. He arrived in a very poor physical and emotional state, seeing him thrive and wanting to help others achieve the same.

? Why Choose Me?
Because I truly care about you and your dog as a team—not just ticking training boxes or chasing quick fixes. With years of hands-on experience, specialist qualifications in canine behaviour and nutrition, and a deep understanding of the emotional lives of dogs (especially those with tricky pasts), I take the time to look beneath the surface and understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour.
My approach is holistic, kind, and tailored—no one-size-fits-all plans here. Whether you’re working through reactivity, confidence issues, or just want to deepen your bond, I offer real-world support that fits your lifestyle and your dog’s unique needs.
At Train & Nourish, it’s not just about changing behaviour—it’s about helping dogs feel safe, heard, and understood. And supporting you as their person every step of the way. ?

121 Behaviour Support
Our canine behaviour support services are designed to help dogs struggling with issues such as reactivity, anxiety, fear-based behaviours, resource guarding, and more.
Using a holistic, science-based approach, we work to identify the root cause of your dog’s behaviour and create a tailored plan to help them feel more confident, relaxed, and understood. Every dog is unique, which is why we focus on individualised support, considering factors like environment, past experiences, and nutrition to ensure a well-rounded approach.
