“Lucy helped me make some great decisions about how to approach training my dog. She isn’t just knowledgeable, she’s amazing and she cares.”
A warm welcome from Lucy
I know what it feels like to live with a dog who is struggling.
I’ve had those challenges too! I combine scientifically backed knowledge with experience to ensure that training is a positive experience for everyone. Learning is most successful when it is FUN and should be enjoyable for both
human and dog.
I am committed to offering the best reward-based, positive reinforcement training techniques. My continued professional development includes:
- Provisional Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB)* and member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC).
- IMDT Instructor, Sarah Whitehead, Dog Training College, UK Sniffer Dog Instructor
- Malena DeMartini – Separation Anxiety – development of behaviour modification programme.
I am working towards being a Full Member CAB as I believe accreditation provides reassurance to owners that welfare is a priority when modifying behaviour. All my methods put your dog and your relationship with them first!
I’m here to help
You may be looking for something to learn with your dog, or you may be experiencing a few issues? I can help with both.
The fact is, some situations can be very stressful. To resolve things, it is best to work with someone who takes an educated and empathetic approach and can identify what’s going on, rather than relying on ‘quick-fixes’ or ‘sticking
plaster’ tactics… and certainly without resorting to anything unpleasant for your dog!
Take a look at my training services
If you have a training or behavioural issue you’d like to discuss I offer a free 15 minute introductory call to get things started.
Or, if you would prefer, email me and outline how I can help to get your dog on the right path.
Behaviour Modification
Training is designed to teach dogs specific commands and behaviours which can be very useful for many dogs and their owners, but sometimes underlying behavioural issues require a more thorough investigation, to really get to the root of a behaviour.
As a dog behaviourist, I have met the professional and academic requirements to address issues such as fear, reactivity and separation anxiety. I work with you and your dog to identify aspects in their past that may help explain the development of the problematic behaviours and develop a tailored behaviour modification plan.
Behavioural Consultation
All behaviour consultations require a vet referral.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any training or behavioural work, you can phone, email, or message me using the WhatsApp icon on the bottom right of the page.

Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
Scent Detection
Hugh & Bonnie
Lucy really gives 100% to both the dog and the owner. We both thoroughly enjoyed our day and have been practising at home and it just gets better. Very rewarding and would recommend highly.
Rescue Dog
Jenny & Poppy
Thank you so much, I was seriously impressed with how you explained about how Poppy was probably experiencing stress and anxiety. Taking things back to basics allowed us to bond properly and for us both to grow in confidence.

Hannah & Berry
Lucy, I wanted to thank you for a great course. We now have a greater level of confidence and tools that we can implement straight away.

Our very lively Labrador loved the activities you taught us. Lucy was really calm and explained everything clearly. Can’t wait to learn more, and for more peace!
