We have 2 qualified dog trainers/canine behaviourists. Our aim is to have a happy, well balanced and obedient dog. We understand that each dog is unique. Our strategies are centred around positive reinforcement and are chosen to suit your dog and your home environment. We offer specific behavioural/training on issues your dog has.
Common behaviour challenges include:
- Anxiety / destructive behaviour when left alone
- Jumping up on visitors
- Inappropriate toileting and house-training problems
- Aggression towards other dogs
- Obsessive-compulsive disorders
- Excessive barking
- Fears, phobias and anxieties
We can help with any issues your dog may have that isn’t listed here.
We provide an initial 2 hour consultation at your home where we get to know you and your dog to establish how we can help. The trainer will carry out a full assessment to identify the core problem. We will explore and explain the reasons for the behaviour and provide you with practical step by step support. The consultation is followed up with a full written report including a recommended program of intervention for you and any suggested training requirements. Our aim is to work together to ensure you have a happy dog.
Follow up consultations and training, if required, will be decided with you and will be charged at a reduced rate. We are happy to take calls to discuss any concerns or questions you may have throughout the period of training.

Polly has walked my dog Hendrix since he was a puppy and without her I would have a much naughtier dog on my hands! He needs a lot of exercise – far more than I can give him during the week and his ‘fun runs’ with Polly and her other dogs are just what he needs. Polly has consistently been not only polite and professional but flexible enough to adapt to any circumstance. I really don’t know what I would do without her.
Polly has been tending to our horses needs since July 2009. She is very reliable and conciensious. She has always been very helpful in times of need, especially when one of the horses manages to get tangled in fencing or cast! Polly has even managed to still get to the yard through blizzards and ice! I highly recommend her to anyone.
Polly started caring for my two cats at the beginning of last year when she was recommended to me by my local vet. Polly made a home visit prior to her first "holiday duty" and I was impressed by her professionalism and her obvious enthusiasm about working with animals. I have found her to be entirely trustworthy and I am more than happy to leave the house and cats in her care. She has a lovely personality and I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone who finds themselves in need of a temporary carer for their pets.
