About Me
Hi, I’m Kirsty.
I’ve spent years working with dogs as a dog walker, home boarder and trainer, helping owners understand their dogs and build calmer, happier lives together.
Like many dog owners, my journey started with a love of dogs. Over the years that passion grew into a fascination with behaviour and understanding why dogs do what they do. I quickly realised that successful training isn’t just about teaching cues and commands - it’s about helping dogs and owners communicate clearly and confidently with each other.
I specialise in real-life training for real-life dogs. Whether you’re bringing home a new puppy, navigating the challenges of adolescence, struggling with recall or simply looking for a calmer, more enjoyable relationship with your dog, my aim is always the same: practical solutions that fit into everyday life.
As an owner of two spaniels myself, I understand the joys and challenges that come with energetic, intelligent dogs. My approach focuses on building confidence, teaching calmness and creating realistic routines that help dogs thrive both at home and out in the world.
I believe every dog is an individual and every owner deserves support that is kind, practical and achievable. My goal isn’t perfection - it’s helping you enjoy life with your dog.

Adolescence can be one of the most frustrating stages of dog ownership. Many owners feel like all their hard work has disappeared overnight as their dog becomes more distracted, excitable and independent.
The good news? This is completely normal.

60 minute consultation and assessment

Lead walking and focus around distractions
Recall training
