Take some of the stress out of walking your reactive dog by having a trained professional walk them.
My walks will focus mainly on enrichment and decompression, with active training around any of your dog's triggers we might encounter along the way. Your dog will learn evasive manoeuvres to navigate away when encountering their triggers at close quarters, and when it's safe to do so, I will work on changing their emotional response to the things they struggle with on walks.
Walks are a maximum of 60 minutes to avoid overwhelm.
If your dog is having a hard time, we will work on training and brain games at your home.
You’ll get progress reports and updates on your dog’s behaviour at the end of each walk, with the option to work on their training later with me.

All reactive dog walks are subject to an initial consultation.
£55.50 initial consultation fee
- Initial consultation of 90 minutes
My initial consultation takes place at your home.
This allows me to see your dog in their home environment, which is crucial for understanding the context of their reactivity, and to suggest immediate management strategies if necessary to improve your walks.
The consultation typically lasts about 90 minutes, but it's best to allow a little extra time, just in case. We'll use this time to discuss your dog's history, triggers, and your goals for our work together.
If your dog is anxious or unsure around new people entering the house, I'll work with you before my arrival to create a safe and comfortable plan for their introduction to me. This might involve meeting outside initially, or using other management techniques to minimise stress for your dog. My priority is to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable from the outset, which will help us get the most out of our session.
