1-2-1 Training
Are you struggling with a wayward dog?
Do you feel lost, disappointed, cross or maybe ashamed about how things are?
Perhaps you wish for a calm response when someone comes to the door instead of the current mayhem.
Or maybe you dream of going for a peaceful walk with your dog; he comes when called, walks nicely on the lead and is focused mostly on you.
If this is you, both you and your dog deserve better and there are solutions.
I offer bespoke support allowing your needs to be met in a way which works for you and your dog. For more on my approach to dog training click here.
Other common concerns include:
Limited life skills
Traditional dog training focuses on discrete behaviours such as ‘Sit’ or ‘Down’. Actually, dogs need ‘soft skills’ such as confidence, impulse control or calmness.
Anxiety related behaviours
Whether the cause is circumstantial, nutritional, physical, genetic or a combination, there are solutions!
Resource guarding
Change the dog’s emotions around the protected item and see a change in behaviour.
Testimonials
No more barky dog!
Sena was nervous and barky with guests so I reached out to Joy for some help. She provided some simple enrichment tools which really helped to lift Sena’s mood meaning she was far less stressed and barky when visitors came. Joy then provided some further exercises which I am still working through but I am very pleased with the progress. Her approach has worked where others’ have not! Thank you.

New puppy support
We got in touch with Joy to help us with some questions we had regarding our new puppy. She taught us some new games which really worked and could be applied to a number of situations. She was always very thorough with her answers and provided options to work with, meaning we could trouble-shoot ourselves. I am very glad we got in touch and feel I learnt a lot from Joy!

Resource guarding Frenchie
Joy went over and above to help us. She explained why the problems happened, modelled each exercise with us and then provided guidance as we learnt. She was patient and encouraging so I felt confident when working with Joy. Sonia is doing much better and is playing with the other dogs rather than resource guarding. I never thought we would get this problem fixed. I feel very relieved.
