Living with a dog is amazing but, let's face it, it's not always smooth sailing.

When you first brought your pup home, you were dreaming of calm walkies, relaxed sofa snuggles, and a well-behaved dog that brought you peace and companionship. Now, though, things are a little different… You’ve got a dog that you absolutely adore, but they’re jumping up, pulling on the lead and seem oblivious to your call when out and about! You're frustrated with them and are looking for answers.

 This is where I come in!

I can help you to understand your dog’s behaviour, meet their needs and finally live the happy life you've been dreaming of with them. I've supported numerous dog owners facing similar hurdles and so you can trust in my expertise, skills and knowledge to guide you.

Happy Dog, Happy Life!

“Amazing support”

Sarah-Jane has been an amazing support to us in learning how to build a good relationship with our puppies, Lilo and Stitch, our first family dogs.  She is very positive and friendly, but clear and practical with the advice she gives. Our puppies Lilo and Stitch absolutely love her sessions because she shows us how to make training into fun games!  We feel far more confident in handling and training Lilo and Stitch, and it is a great comfort knowing that Sarah-Jane will answer any questions no matter how silly!  Thank you Sarah-Jane, I highly recommend her!
