"Kirsty has helped massively with our anxious whippet. We've had a series of in person sessions where she's quickly identified strategies we can put in place to help manage his behaviour and provided lots of training advice. She's been amazing to work with and really made us, and our dog, feel at ease with her wonderfully calming presence. Thanks to her help, and brilliant training handouts she shares for you to refer back to, we've managed to train our dog to respond to lots of cues that we've previously been unsuccessful with. Thank you so much Kirsty!"

Behaviour Consultations

I offer private behaviour consultations from the comfort of your own home to cover behaviours such as:


  • General Anxiety
  • Separation anxiety
  • Alert/ alarm barking
  • Fear of loud noises (e.g. fireworks/ cars etc.)
  • Nervousness around strangers
  • Anxiety around other Dogs
  • Resource Guarding
  • Destructive behaviour


You'll gain peace of mind knowing you will gain the ability to train your Dog successfully, stop these behaviour problems from continuing and you'll have long lasting results.


I only offer a limited number of behaviour consultations at a time to ensure that you receive my full support during your programme.


Behaviour consultations include an initial consultation which lasts for an hour and a half, and two follow up appointments which last an hour each.  You will also receive unlimited support via email and messages for a month, as well as 50% off all workshops.


During our first session together we will look at many aspects, including your lifestyle, your routine and your Dog's behaviour, together we will produce a training plan that will be most effective for you and begin to implement positive changes. 


During our second and third sessions we will ensure that together we are making progress, we will continue to improve and make adjustments where necessary. 


Behaviour consultations cost £410

Additional training sessions can be booked for £65


For some areas of Poole and Christchurch an additional £25 is applicable to cover travel time and fuel costs of additional sessions. Please see the T&C's page for postcodes to which this applies.

Repairing Reactivity - New Course Coming Soon

Anxious, fearful and reactive behaviours can get worse if left untreated, they don't get better on their own and you might find the frequency and intensity of problems increase.


It is possible to teach your Dog new ways to respond and improve their emotional well-being so that they no longer respond the same way to their triggers.


To make positive changes, we need to create a calmer space for our Dogs. They can't learn when they are stressed.

This is why you’ll benefit from my Repairing Reactivity Programme. This programme will give you the support you need to help with your Dog’s reactivity.


In the Repairing Reactivity programme you will develop the right skills to teach calm and accommodate your Dog's reactivity in a simple and enjoyable way. You'll learn practical ways to keep your Dog's focus when there are distractions, how to manage situations where things are less than ideal and how to recover when it feels like everything is going wrong.


Your course will include:

  • Over 100 easy to follow videos
  • Handouts to support your learning
  • Workbooks and trackers to support your practice and ensure your understanding
