Relationship Centred Training.
Psychology | Relationship | Behaviour
“We look at everything from the dogs point of view. Their psychology, their instincts, their rules.”
I believe that every dog deserves the opportunity to be understood for who they are, and trained in a way that is as natural to them as possible - so that they can reach a point of balance where they are calm, safe, sociable and confident in the small part of the world they inhabit.
Everything I teach is based on your dog's experience of the world - their body language, their psychology, and their relationship with you. The Dog’s Way is dedicated exclusively to resolving behavioural issues, and grounded in Dog Psychology at every level. Not obedience training, sport training, or Gun dog training wrapped up as dog behaviour.
Why? Because I believe that truly understanding our dogs is the best way to authentically rehabilitate behavioural issues in a lasting way.

A different way of teaching, with your dog in mind.
Working with dogs means always having as much time as you need for the dog in front of you, which is why my sessions have always had a longer format compared to the industry standard.
Whether you need more time for in depth diagnostics, a slower pace for a particularly fearful or anxious dogs, more time to drain physical and mental energy, or simply to give you the time you and your dog need together - you’ll get the time you need. It is essential not to rush, and why you never pay extra if your session runs over. So that you can focus on being in the moment, and giving your dog the best version of yourself.
Our Dogs help your Dogs.
Our dogs are also on hand to help with your dogs behaviour assessment, and act as ambassadors for practical learning. They’re trained to stay calm even if your dog is not - and they help to act as a positive influence on your dogs behaviour. No stuffed animals or chasing strangers and their dogs around the park. Just our awesome pack of ambassador dogs.
My aim for every client is to provide a much higher level of assessment and diagnosis. I want to know your dogs temperament and health, their background, and most importantly their relationship with you - so we can get to the root cause of the issues. Knowing the real problem means we can help you make the changes that will have the biggest impact.
A Place for Open, Honest Conversations - about humans as well as dogs.
Our dogs are intimately tied to our own lives - our own emotions, our anxieties, challenges and struggles, and our behaviour has a huge influence on theirs. Our dogs know how we feel, and we cannot lie to them. Part of being a dog behaviourist means encouraging you to be 100% open and honest about your own emotions, without judgement. It's an essential part of how we work with you - so we can work with you on your own development too.
We want you to use your time with us as an opportunity to decompress and get your feelings out in the open. The clients who commit most to this core principle are always the ones who get the most out of their sessions.
Calmness is the best foundation on which to build your relationship with your dog, so it’s at the core of everything we do. Learn to work quietly, calmly, and without excessive food. I don’t want a dopamine addict, clapping seal or a circus performer, and neither do my clients.
“A Dog’s Energy is nothing but honest. By just observing the dog, I can get a good sense of what a situation really is.”
- Cesar Millan
