Talking Dogs

I provide one to one dog behaviour coaching services, puppy training and rehabilitation courses as well as “doggy boot camp” board and train programs. I talk so your dog can listen and listen so your dog can talk. I help my clients to learn to do the same. My training programs are based on the individual needs your family and your dog. I can help to train and socialise your new puppy or help to teach “old dog new tricks”. Currently I also provide guided socialisation programs for the puppies born during the lockdown as they have missed on vital opportunities to meet and mix with other dogs and people.

What do you love most about your job?

Every dog and every family I work with is unique. I love the challenge every new case brings. I love seeing all dogs fulfilling their potential and owners realising the strength and the power of the human-companion animal bond.
Every time I see a boisterous, naughty puppy turning into well mannered member of the family I feel I helped to create a happy pack that will learn and grow together. Every time I see the progress of a “problem dog” and bring a family from the bring of despair back to peaceful harmony, see the smile on their faces and know that this dog will not end up in the shelter, it makes me happy.
Every time I help a dog that have been mistreated in the past to gain trust in people and build their confidence it lifts my spirits and restores my faith in humanity.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Working in veterinary behaviour and nutrition field, developing programs and supporting research studies at veterinary universities in the UK I had a chance to work alongside veterinary behaviour experts at the time this field was very new.
I realised how much difference we can make if we can communicate effectively with our pets and use positive motivation to train them rather than just impose our will on them through fear.

When I had my own children, I struggled with the usual issues all working parents do. I needed to understand how to talk so the kids would listen. My amazing communication coach Laura helped me to do just that. I learned how to understand the needs of those around me and create win- win solutions.
Working in my veterinary practice I realised these methods can be easily applied when dealing with “difficult” dogs.
I started running behaviour clinics as part of our veterinary practice and as the demand for my services increased I set up a separate business focusing on veterinary behaviour.

Most of my previous clients came to me through referrals and recommendations, but as times change I chose Bark to help me to adapt my business to the needs of the current times.

Why should our clients choose you?

I talk so the dogs can listen, I listen so the dogs can talk.
Every dog has a different personality and every family has a different needs. But we all need to feel safe, nourished and loved. When I start to work with a new client, I don’t just follow a specific training program. My aim is to understand the needs of each family member (humans, dogs and other....) and bringing them together through a combination of coaching, training and behavioural modifications.

Through the years of experience, training and observations I learned how to “talk so dogs will listen, and listen so the dog can talk”. I want to help any dog owner that wants to learn to do the same.

My ultimate goal with every pack is to bring structure and harmony and through this joy and happiness....
....“Because a happier pet makes a happier family”....

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

I offer an initial video consultation. Based on the extend of the problem and the time the owners can invest I can than tailor my program specifically to their needs. Some issues can be solved through a series of video consultations. Some require working outside in public spaces and parks, which I can offer on one to one basis, following the government guidelines on social distancing.
More extensive issues require at home training. As I currently can not work at your home, I offer a home stay program as an alternative. Your dog spends several days at my family home as part of our pack. I focus on eliminating unwanted behaviours and establishing the behaviour trades that are required, than provide coaching and video tutorials that help the owners keep the positive habits working in their home.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

I can wear shield if requested. I sterilise my hands at regular intervals when working with my clients.
All outdoor training is now done following social distancing guidelines. Fortunately the 2m distance does not apply to dogs so I can still work with your dog hands on.
I use my own lead and collar so I don’t have to touch anything of yours. Any new training tools I provide for you are in unopened packaging and packaging sterilised for you.
When traditionally I would work with my clients in their home, I now ask for video recordings so I can analyse problem with my clients remotely. As an alternative to this service I now offer training/ rehabilitation “board and train” programs.
