Your Dog's Behaviour is Breaking Your Heart
It's not their fault. And it's not yours either.
Every day you're dealing with:
- •Lunging and barking at other dogs - walks are stressful, not enjoyable
- •Scared of everything - visitors, noises, new places terrify them
- •Can't be left alone - separation anxiety is destroying your home and your sanity
- •Growling or snapping - you're worried someone will get hurt
- •You're avoiding situations - can't have guests, go to cafés or live normally
Your dog isn't being 'bad' or 'dominant'.
They're anxious, scared or frustrated and don't have the skills to cope.
This is fixable. We can help both of you.

Common Struggles Solved
The behaviour problems we see most often
My dog is reactive to other dogs
Reactivity isn't aggression - it's your dog being overwhelmed and unable to cope. Every time they lunge and bark, their stress hormone (cortisol) floods their system, making them more sensitive next time. This creates a vicious cycle. We teach you how to keep your dog below their stress threshold and pair the sight of other dogs with amazing things, changing their emotional response from fear to positive anticipation.
Reactivity means your dog is over-threshold and can't think - not that they're being aggressive.
They're terrified of [specific trigger]
Fear-based behaviours stem from inadequate socialisation, scary experiences or genetics. Your dog's brain has learned that this trigger predicts something bad. Counter-conditioning changes this by systematically pairing the trigger with positive experiences at distances where your dog can stay calm. Over hundreds of repetitions, we create new neural pathways that replace fear with positive emotions.
Fear isn't disobedience - it's a genuine emotional response that requires changing how they feel, not how they act.
Separation anxiety is destroying everything
Separation anxiety is panic disorder, not boredom or spite. Your dog's cortisol levels spike within minutes of you leaving, triggering genuine distress. They're not 'getting back at you' - they're terrified you won't return. We gradually build your dog's confidence through systematic desensitisation, teaching them that alone time is safe and you always come back. This requires patience - it can take months to resolve.
Separation anxiety is a panic disorder requiring behaviour modification, not punishment or confinement.
