Hi, I’m Amy.
And I help owners of small reactive dogs stop dreading walks and start feeling confident again 💗
If you’ve ever crossed the road to avoid another dog, felt embarrassed when yours barks or lunges, or wondered “why is this so hard?” - you’re not alone. And you’re not failing.
This is exactly why I do what I do.
My focus is on behaviour change, not obedience.
That means understanding why your dog reacts, changing emotional responses, and giving you practical tools you can actually use in real life.
I don’t believe in quick fixes. Progress isn’t linear - but with structure, consistency, and support, things improve.
I don’t just train dogs - I coach people too.
Because confident owners create calmer dogs.
I offer in-person training at Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield, as well as hybrid and virtual programs for clients who travel to me or work online.
If you’re ready to stop struggling alone, I’d love to help 💗
My Approach
My training is rooted in dog psychology and behaviour, not labels.
I focus on understanding why a dog is reacting, not just managing the behaviour in the moment. That means looking at emotional state, triggers, learning history, and how stress builds - and then addressing those things clearly and fairly.
I don’t sit strictly in the “force-free” category.
That doesn’t mean I’m unkind or harsh… quite the opposite.
It means I don’t believe in allowing dogs to remain stuck in prolonged stress under the guise of being “gentle”.
Kind training should reduce stress, not stretch it out.
My goal is to help dogs feel calmer, safer, and more confident as quickly and fairly as possible! While also giving owners clarity, structure, and confidence.
Every dog is different, and my approach is always tailored to the individual in front of me. Welfare comes first, but so does honesty, timing, and real-world effectiveness.
