About

I am a lifelong dog owner and lover. From my very first mixed breed dog, Ricky, who was my partner in crime as a baby, to my two current Coton du Tulears, Saffy and Fifi, who are my constant companions and puppy training assistants, and all the dogs in between, I live and breathe all things dog.

Over the years, I found that many traditional dog training methods typically employed negative tactics, including fear and intimidation. These are methods I disagree with. Dogs are incredibly loving, intelligent, and intuitive creatures and deserve to be treated and trained as such. By learning to communicate with them on their level, building confidence and trust, with love and affection, I found that they would learn far more quickly and effectively.

Dogs do not speak English or any language, for that matter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them; you just need to understand what they are trying to tell you. From the position of their tails to their eye contact, and even their appetites, dogs have many ways to communicate, and I can teach you how to ‘speak’ back to them.

I founded Master Dog and developed my own specially formulated training technique to encourage intuitive learning and communication using sign language, sound, and focus-based dog training tools to harness their five superhuman senses – sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.

Everything I teach is based on giving your puppies and dogs enrichment. By training them with love and respect on an intuitive level, your dogs will be happy, sociable, and confident, making them well-trained, obedient, and responsive. Successful dog training lies with effective and calm communication between dog and handler, so each of my training sessions is tailored to both dog and owner, enabling both of you to get the most out of your relationship and giving you confidence in your abilities as a handler, so that your dog becomes comfortable with you as the leader.

From 8-week-old puppies to older dogs with behavioural issues, I can show you that any dog can be trained effectively to ensure an enjoyable and stress-free dog ownership experience.

I look forward to meeting you and your dogs!
