1-2-1 Coaching

Are you struggling with your dog’s behaviour or need help with dog training? If your dog is barking, pulling you on the lead, destroying your house, or you need help with basic obedience or puppy training then look no further. Issue behaviours left unaddressed can turn into bigger issues longer term and puppy training done incorrectly can make adolescence and adulthood unnecessarily hard.

A lot of my clients when they first contact me are not sure what to focus on with dog training to achieve their goals, lack technical training skills to do it effectively and struggle with understanding their dog’s behaviour.  A lot of them endlessly follow training tips (online, on TV, or from other dog owners) that get them nowhere, they are stuck with progress and lack confidence in handling & training their dog.

I have been there myself!

Having struggled with my own dog’s behavioural challenges myself (including hyperactivity, fearfulness, noise and movement sensitivity, excessive barking, lead pulling, lunging, barking and growling at children and adults) I can relate to many owners who might be at their wits’ end with their pup and I am passionate about helping them find harmony with their dogs again. I also love working with puppies and setting them up for a successful future to prevent behavioural issues.

With private dog training sessions, I can help you achieve your dog training goals much faster with extra on hand support and help you outside the training sessions!

Here’s what some of my clients are saying

  • We had the pleasure of receiving daily online coaching from Eddy for the past three months. We came to Eddy because we began to really struggle getting a handle of Sunny’s reactivity and confidence. Eddy took the time to fully understand our situation and Sunny’s history, created a tailored plan and gave us lots of advice along the way. Eddy helped us remain accountable, was always quick to respond to our questions and gave us plenty of options to work with to find what best works for Sunny, especially when something wasn’t working for her. All of this has helped dramatically improve Sunny’s behaviour and we now have a calm and confident dog that we can take to more places and enjoy more of life’s adventures. All of which was done using positive reinforcement and having lots of fun! We couldn’t have got this far without Eddy, her expertise and advice has been invaluable. We would highly recommend her services to anyone.

  • We signed up for the coaching program with Eddy as we had really been struggling with our 2 year old border collie Tala. We were experiencing a lot of unwanted behaviours such as lead reactivity and excessive pulling on lead, lack of engagement with us, poor recall and not getting along with our other family dog. Eddy has an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to dog training and behaviour. We are already seeing improvements in just 3 weeks!

    We absolutely loved the individual approach Eddy took getting to know us and our dogs, working with us to create a plan that would fit our lives. Her understanding, empathy and support has been amazing and we have found Eddy’s encouragement really helpful, especially on those days when you just need a little nudge in the right direction.

    We found the breakdown of training really easy to follow, with real life practical games to play with Tala alongside his training plan which he loves! Not only that we have been able to build a better relationship with him whilst having fun at the same time.

  • If you need a dog trainer then look no further than Eddy. She is fantastic. We booked Eddy for a block of lessons to help us train our new puppy. Eddy has given us the guidance, skills and confidence in training. We needed the training as much as the pup and now have a dog who walks to heel and knows all the basic commands such as sit, wait, stay and leave etc., We are grateful every day to the wonderful start Eddy has given us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a dog trainer.

  • Getting to understand the why and not just the what, Eddy always makes sure she explains the reasoning behind her suggestions which helps us not overthink and second guess the training we’re doing. We did this a lot in the past when taking random internet advice!

    Eddy provides really detailed explanations and often accompanies these with a video demonstration which makes learning how to do a particular technique so much easier.

    Eddy took the time to really understand our situation and routine so we could set realistic goals that are actually achievable for us and helps us adjust when we need to.

    Most importantly, you can tell Eddy just really loves dogs! She has lots of empathy for Sunny and always takes into account how she might be feeling to best support her and help her go at her own pace.

  • Before I met Eddy, I struggled to walk our 15 month old Labrador Jax, because he is very strong and super exciteable, and every time he saw anyone or another dog he would pull, lunge and rear up, and nothing I did could tear him away. He was in overdrive. Other dogs attacked him and I felt out of control, and I dreaded walks. After bursting into tears and having a panic attack one day, I contacted Eddy. She was very kind, and made me feel like things could improve. Her consultation was relevant, detailed and I loved how she asked what my dog would want out of the sessions.

    Within the first session Eddy had shown me some vital management techniques that I could use when Jax sees other dogs. Meaning I could then walk him and not panic and get stressed at the sight of another dog. Instantly my walks improved and our engagement with each other was much improved, and my confidence grew.

    Jax is now calmer, he knows what is required of him and I feel able to deal with any situation. He can be near other dogs and not lose his mind, and I even know how to let him say hello calmly, although he has some work still to do on that one! We know how to settle him and get him to greet guests calmly, and how to deal with emergencies. I never thought he'd be calm around other dogs again but he has been! Eddy has given me back an enjoyment of dog walks.

  • Eddy helped us with our pup who was barking at dogs and people and not responding very well to recall.

    He is now able to walk past dogs calmly and we are so pleased.

    Eddy is patient, calm and helpful.

    Highly recommend

  • Eddy has been great. We now feel much more confident with our puppy. We now understand him much better and Eddy has provided us with a solid basis for training. The training has been straightforward and to our surprise our dog seems to enjoy it too. Eddy is friendly, supportive and encouraging - we wholeheartedly recommend her.

  • Eddy has been incredible. As a somewhat paranoid first time dog parent I had so many questions and concerns but nothing was too much!

    Ein has become a very good boy and a polite (if not super excitable) little gentleman! Would fully recommend working with Eddy to anyone and everyone!!

  • Eddy has been amazing for us. She is very attentive to our needs and provides us with the necessary resources to solve our issues. She is also very knowledgeable and experienced, answering any doubts or questions we might have. She has helped our puppy with difficulties being alone, in house behaviour as well as walks training. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer. :)
