I'm Liz... 

Raising a high-energy breed like a Spaniel or Labrador can feel overwhelming, especially with all the conflicting advice out there.  It’s hard to know what’s right for you and your dog.

​

I help frustrated and overwhelmed owners turn the chaos into calm by working with their dog’s natural instincts, not against them, so you can enjoy a more connected, fulfilling life together.

​

Since 2017, I’ve been committed to ethical, reward-based training.  I hold a Foundation Degree in Canine Behaviour and Training from Hull University and am an accredited instructor with both the Gundog Trainers Academy (GTA-AD 020) and the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC-ATI).

​

While I work with dogs of all breeds, helping Gundog breeds thrive in pet homes is both my passion and my speciality.

​

If you are soon to be bringing home a busy Gundog breed or are already in the midst of adolescence and struggling, get in touch.  I’d love to chat about how I can help.

Does your Spaniel switch from zero to chaos in seconds?

Is your Labrador becoming unmanageable on the lead? 


Are you terrified to give them the off-lead freedom they so desperately need? 

Are you starting to dread taking them out for a walk?
 

If you’ve brought home a Spaniel, Labrador, or other Gundog breed, you’ve probably realised they’re not your average pet dog.

​

You probably imagined peaceful walks and off-lead adventures… but instead, you’ve got a dog who’s full-on, can’t switch off, and finds everything more exciting than you.

​

I know exactly how that feels.  I’ve been through the same struggles with my own dog, and it’s what led me to specialise in helping Gundog breeds thrive in pet homes.

​

Since 2017, I’ve supported owners just like you with reward-based training, channeling your dog's energy into constructive outlets, building calm focus, real-life reliability, and a stronger connection.
