You’re in the right place if…

You adore your dog, but something just isn’t working for them, or for you. Behaviour change takes consistency, but you also need to know what to do. With the right support you and your dog can make meaningful progress together.

Maybe you’ve read the advice, tried the tips, but things still feel hard, and you’re ready for tailored, effective support that puts you and your dog at the centre.

I am a good fit for you if you:

  • Want to better understand your dog while working towards practical, sustainable change.

  • Believe that empathy, patience and welfare matter.

  • Are open to learning and growing alongside your dog.

  • Want a professional who’s kind, practical, non-judgemental, provides ongoing support, knows that real life isn’t perfect.

 

If you’re nodding along? We’ll likely make a great team!

How I can help you and your dog!

Maybe your dog runs away from loud noises? Struggles with fireworks, travel or visitors? Guarding their dinner or favourite toy? Something else?

Learn how to manage situations to address your dog’s behavioural challenges.

“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. Thank you so much.”

“We’ve already seen big improvements and can, for the first time see a way through”

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

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.

We’ve already seen big improvements with Margot. Really great experience all round.”

~ Brad and Margot

“Calm, non-judgmental and a good listener”

“Naomi is a wonderful person. 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.

Setting up a meeting in the park was great and taught me a lot. Thank you again.”

~ Julia and Oti

“Naomi has made such a huge difference to our family and to Arlo and we are extremely grateful”

She gave us a great deal of practical advice. 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.”

~ Claire and Arlo
