Kennel Club Accredited Instructor, Working Gundogs (KCAI WG).
Understanding behaviour before trying to change it
Behaviour rarely appears in isolation.
What we see on the surface is often the result of instinct, environment, past learning, and the dog’s emotional state.
When we work together, the goal is not simply to suppress behaviour, but to understand what is driving it and channel it, to help both you and your gundog move toward calmer, clearer communication.
My work combines many years of hands-on experience with gundogs alongside professional study in canine behaviour and training. If you’d like to learn more about my background, training, and experience working with dogs, you’re very welcome to explore the About page.

Types of behavioural support available
Behavioural support can take place in several formats depending on what best suits your situation and your gundog.
When behavioural support may be more appropriate
Some behavioural challenges benefit from deeper support over a longer period of time.
If your gundog regularly becomes overwhelmed outdoors, struggles to reconnect once distracted, or behaviour continues to unravel despite trying different approaches, one of the Confident Canine programmes may provide the level of guidance needed to create lasting change.
The programmes are designed to work more deeply with both ends of the lead, helping you and your gundog develop calmer regulation, clearer communication, and a stronger working partnership.
Not sure where to start
If you’re unsure whether behavioural support or one of the programmes would be the best starting point, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
We can talk through what’s happening with your gundog and decide together which path will support you both most effectively.
