"Hello! My name is Katie...

My Aims... when working with you and your dog whether for developing a behaviour modification programme,  puppy training or general dog obedience is to ensure you gain the skills and confidence to communicate more effectively with your dog, ultimately improving your relationship with one another.

The Ultimate Accolade... after doing just such for one family and their then out of control Shar Pei, they named their first born child after me for which I will feel honoured forever!

Problems... often occur as a result of misunderstanding, miscommunication between the species and stress. If you are stressed, so is your dog and stress affects us all emotionally, physically and mentally, human and canine both.

What I do... is about empowerment, and as a mother I know the importance of safety concerning dogs and children. I’m not a conventional dog trainer, I often go against the grain but I treat animals and people with the respect they deserve.

Dogs understand that we are not dogs...
Last time I looked I didn’t have anal glands or a tail! We can learn some of their body language and what it means but we speak human and dogs speak dog. Dogs are intelligent enough to figure out what works for them though! We should remember that we humans are just that, humans...We make mistakes and we break the rules and animals do too. Sometimes taking a step back and re-evaluating what we expect of our canine companions helps us see things in a different light, relieves the pressure enabling us to relax and enjoy the short and precious time with them."
