Generic tips won’t get you there.
You need training personalised to you and your dog: simple for both of you to do, and focused on teaching the skills your dog needs to choose good behaviours.

Hello, I’m Shona
I have been training pet dogs since 2017 after I qualified BSc in Canine Behaviour and Training.
My training is based on the understanding that every dog is unique, with their own characteristics and perspective of the world, as well as their individual relationship with their family.
Many people struggle with common training problems because they can't understand why their dog is misbehaving, and have tried various options to resolve it. Dog training can be confusing, especially for first-time dog owners.
I believe in meeting each dog and their owner where they are, and working through their specific training struggles with training that is tailored to their unique characteristics and life setup.
What you get when we train together
A clear
Training plan
Simple, practical actions that fit into normal life. No information overload, no guesswork…just clear actionable training exercises to fit into your every day life.
Real‑world
Training
We train for the moments that actually matter:
calmer greetings, easier walks, better manners
around people/dogs, and reliable recall.
Practical skills
for real life
Build the skills your dog needs to
reach (and keep) their training goals.
That means teaching the foundations
like focus, calmness, listening around
distractions, and making good choices,
so the behaviour you want becomes
easier for your dog in real life
