Dear Dog Lovers,
Based in the beautiful village of Long Melford, near Sudbury, I offer professional dog training and behaviour management services across Suffolk and Essex. Whether you have a new puppy, an adolescent dog in need of guidance, or a dog facing behavioural challenges, I provide tailored support to help you and your dog thrive—at home, out on walks, or in structured training sessions.
​
My services include:
-
Puppy foundations and socialisation
-
Obedience and life skills classes
-
One-to-one personalised dog training
-
Behavioural consultations and support
-
Group social walks​
As an experienced dog trainer covering Suffolk and Essex, my classes take place outdoors in a secure, fenced paddock surrounded by real-life smells and distractions, creating practical and effective training opportunities. We focus on loose lead walking, reliable off-lead recall, and developing confident, calm social skills around both dogs and people.

Master Dog Trainer (GoDT), CPDT
Every training session is tailored to suit both the dog's personality and the owner's goals—even within group classes. I use only kind, reward-based training methods, motivating your dog through treats, toys or praise, while teaching you how to communicate with clarity and confidence.Training should be enjoyable for both ends of the lead. My aim is to help you better understand how dogs learn, build trust, and develop into well-rounded companions through calm, consistent and natural leadership.​
Whether you are looking for puppy training, help with recall and lead walking, or support with more complex behavioural issues, I am committed to providing professional, practical and supportive dog training that delivers lasting results. ​If you would like more information about my dog training services in Suffolk and Essex, or have any questions, please get in touch via the contact form.​
