Is your anxious dog in need of some training support? Perhaps you’re worried that your dog isn’t as happy as they could be?

Is your dog’s behaviour causing stress, embarrassment or overwhelm?

Or maybe you have a puppy and you’d like to set them up for a confident and fulfilling life right from the start?

Are you looking for anxious dog training with a knowledgable and empathetic professional to guide you and your dog to a more peaceful way of life?

I’m Naomi and I am an experienced clinical animal behaviourist working with people and their pets online and in person. I specialise in anxious dog training for those with stress and anxiety related behaviour issues.

I will work closely with you to better understand what’s going on for your pet, and the steps we need to work through to get to the happiest life for you and your pet. Find out more on the About We Teach Pets page here. Or scroll down to see how I can help.

“Absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommend. Our border collie suffers bad with anxiety but since approaching we teach pets we have managed to find a way of helping our boy.

Could not have done it without the help of Naomi.

Thank you so much.”

~ Ellie, with her border collie

“Could not recommend Naomi more. We’ve been following her training and guidance for a few months now with our cockapoo Margot.

Margot was a very anxious and reactive dog, especially with resource guarding. She was very difficult to walk and almost impossible to take to new places with people/dogs she hadn’t met before.

… we’ve already seen big improvements with Margot and we can, for the first time see a way through.

Really great experience all round.”

~ Brad and Margot

“Naomi is a wonderful person, calm, non judgemental and a good listener.

She set up a weekly schedule for our dog Oti to tackle the most important issues and we managed to fit them in our busy life without feeling overwhelmed.”

~ Julia and Oti

“I was referred to Naomi through my vet as we were having serious behaviour issues with our lab x collie Arlo. She was professional but friendly.
She gave us a great deal of practical advice on how to deal with the issues that Arlo was having. She was not in the least bit judgemental but kind and understanding. She kept in touch throughout the process and it was reassuring to be able to email her for advice…
She has made such a huge difference to our family and to Arlo and we are extremely grateful.”
~ Claire and Arlo
