Have you been told your dog is aggressive?
Do they lunge and bark?

Does going out on a dog walk feel like going into battle?

We're just so happy that all these things she was finding really frightening, she's now unbothered by to the extent she just rolls over and goes to sleep! Thank you so much for showing us how to help her, it's the best feeling knowing she's finding life so much less worrying now.

Are they embarrassing you in public?

Is your dog “too” friendly, leaving you stood shouting them to come back until you are hoarse?

We were really struggling with keeping Jim's attention on walks, leading to pulling and, at some points with bigger dogs, a little bit of reactive behaviour. As he was beginning to choke himself whenever his harness wasn't on and refusing to stop pulling when a distraction came his way. Since the one to one, Jim's lead walking has improved massively.

Does your dog think their name is “No!”?

Will they never settle, even after a long walk?

Faye is an excellent and empathetic dog trainer who clearly has passion for not only dogs, but also her craft. She is extremely knowledgeable and creates a clear and easy to follow training plan. Faye made it easy by breaking it up in to small exercises for me to progress at mine and my dogs pace.

You are in the right place!

If you're sick of scrolling YouTube tutorials and TikTok for answers, I can help you gain insight into exactly why your dog is acting up, provide you with the tools to address their behaviour problems, and build your relationship with them in the process.

This is a great option for dog guardians dealing with complex behavioural problems like reactivity, aggression, resource guarding, and trauma. It is also beneficial for those adopting a rescue dog or helping a newly adopted dog adjust to the family.

An excellent choice for dog guardians dealing with issues like lead pulling, poor house manners, unreliable recall, trouble settling, and general canine silliness. We can also cover cooperative care for easier grooming and vet visits, and provide guidance on the best ways to engage your dog.

Reduce the stress of walking your reactive dog by having an experienced professional handle it. These walks focus on enrichment, decompression, and active training around your dog's triggers. Your dog will learn evasive manoeuvres and how to change their emotional response to triggers. You'll receive weekly progress reports and have the option for further training sessions.

Our dog is much calmer, less anxious and is less reactive when people ring the bell or visit (his biggest problem) and we continue to use the techniques to de-sensitise him to these things.

Testimonials.

I met Faye through the Dobermann community. When I took my current rescue boy on, I had already had 10+ years of rescue/reactive dogs so I had plenty of knowledge already, however Henry turned out to be the most challenging of any of my dogs, being both dog and human reactive. Having a second (professional) set of eyes and experience to advise was key. We've done sessions in secure fields, urban environments and on a country walk and Henry has come on leaps and bounds!

I couldn't have been luckier than to find Faye who is as empathetic as she is knowledgeable. She is a passionate advocate for dogs and absolutely knows her stuff which she is endlessly patient in explaining.

I've done a few online dog training programmes and felt that I was sent generic content with minimal recognition of our unique situation but this couldn't be further from the truth with CTPD.
