For over 20 years, I’ve been supporting dogs and their families in our local area through behaviour counselling and training. I’m a certified dog behaviourist with a strong passion for ethology and ongoing education. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and learn from inspiring experts like Ian Dunbar, Simon Gadbois, Turid Rugaas, Adam Miklosi, among others.
Modern human culture can sometimes distance us from nature, making it harder to see the world through a dog’s perspective. This can affect how we guide, reassure, and redirect them in everyday situations. I’m here to help you better understand these essential elements. My approach follows LIMA principles (Least Intrusive, Minimally Avers
Modern human culture can sometimes distance us from nature, making it harder to see the world through a dog’s perspective. This can affect how we guide, reassure, and redirect them in everyday situations. I’m here to help you better understand these essential elements. My approach follows LIMA principles (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive), which are key to helping your dog feel safe while still learning effectively.
My role is to translate complex animal science into clear, practical guidance you can apply with your dog. You’ll gain a solid understanding of how your dog learns, perceives the environment, and responds to everyday situations. More importantly, you’ll know what to do, and what not to do, to support better behaviour. Building the right foundations from the start makes all the difference.
...which gives me a unique way of perceiving and interpreting the world, something that directly benefits the dogs I work with.
My strengths lie in my sharp observational skills, sensitivity to nuance, and ability to adapt to each case with great attention to detail.
At the same time, I’m aware that certain aspects, such as organisation and time management, require more conscious effort on my part. With the support of professionals and my family, I’m actively working on improving these areas while continuing to deliver thoughtful, committed work for every dog and client I support.
