Personalised training for your anxious dog with oodles of support to reduce the stress and boost calmness, confidence and control at both ends of the lead.

Are you worried about your anxious dog? Maybe you feel your dog could be happier. Is their stressed out behaviour causing friction?

Behaviour issues can come in a range of forms, from resource guarding to noise phobia to barking at your visitors and many more.

Living with a fretful, anxious dog can be exhausting, emotional and, at times, frustrating or lonely. Not everyone understands your dog’s needs.

You might feel like you’re walking on eggshells trying to predict and avoid the next trigger. Feeling helpless when your dog struggles no matter what you try. You might have been told to ignore the behaviour or that you should “be more firm”. But it’s not working.

Your dog isn’t a bad dog, they just get overwhelmed at times. You wish people could see your dog’s best bits!

I’ve worked with so many guardians in your shoes. There is a way forward. With effective, kind, personalised support, we can help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more able to cope with the world around them – and help you breathe a little easier too.

People who work with me often say they feel…

Don’t forget that your pet insurance may reimburse you the cost of the fees.

There are also options to pay in instalments using PayPal or Klarna if eligible – simply let us know you’d like to pay in instalments and we’ll get you the right invoice option.

Flexible follow up sessions and support packages are available on completion of your package.

Get the support that you and your dog need, for as long as you need it. Never be left guessing.

You might be wondering if online behaviour support could be a good option; many dog guardians find it’s the best way to help their dog.

When your dog struggles with visitors or changes to their environment, having a stranger arrive in-person can actually make things worse, or give a false picture of how they usually behave.

With remote sessions, your dog can stay relaxed in their own home, and I get to see their real behaviour, without outside pressure. Read more HERE.

It also means:

No travel stress, or cleaning the house

Easier scheduling, and no waiting for someone local

Clear video-based coaching and support, just like in-person

You don’t need to be tech savvy, either. If you can use Zoom or a phone camera, we’re good to go – and I’ll talk you through everything.

And of course, if in-person support is a better fit, we can arrange that too. Just note that travel charges may apply depending on your location.

Ready to feel calm, confident and in control? And to help your dog to feel the same?

“Naomi was absolutely incredible… communication and quality of the training was second to none.”

“We had the opportunity to keep in contact with her at all times. She provided handouts with important information and gave us focuses to work on each week too!

I cannot say enough good things about Naomi, above all she is a lovely, wonderful person and felt like a friend throughout it all. We will stay in contact for sure.”

~ Jess & Family and Bella

“Bailey is now like a different dog!”

Naomi has been fantastic! We were having problems with our Border Collie and I thought because of where we live we were beyond help.

I then found Naomi and discovered she could work with us entirely virtually. Her guidance was easy to follow and the reports we got after each session were a huge help to look back on.

We now feel confident to continue with the tools Naomi has given us and we know that we can book another session should we need it.”

~ Isabelle and Bailey

“Ryu has come on in leaps and bounds since we started training with Naomi”

“Naomi was recommended to me to help with my boy, Ryu.

She gave us lots of advice to help, particularly with how to safely integrate our dogs together when moving into a new home as they both have different quirks.

He is more trusting when being introduced to new people and we’re feeling more confident about how to identify and meet his needs, resulting in a happy family!”

1. What causes behaviour problems in dogs

There’s rarely just one cause. Behaviour issues often come from a mix of factors. These might include genetics, early life experiences (or lack of them), trauma, illness, pain, or even changes in routine or household dynamics.

Whatever the cause, it’s not about blame. Maybe you have a naturally anxious dog. Maybe they have had trauma. Perhaps they are over-excitable. My role is to help uncover what’s driving your dog’s behaviour, and create a plan that helps you both move forward with more understanding and confidence.

2. Can an over-boisterous or anxious dog just “get over it”? Is it just a phase?

Some young dogs do go through impulsive or fear periods. But what they experience during that time can shape how they cope as adults.

That’s why it’s worth stepping in early. With the right support, you can prevent anxiety and other challenging coping strategies from becoming more ingrained, and help your dog feel safer and more resilient sooner.

Even if your dog has been struggling for a while, it’s never too late to help them feel better, and to show them that you’ve got their back when things get tough.
