My Services

My services support both ends of the lead. Through One-to-One Training, Group Sessions, and Skills for Life Club, I help you understand your dog before training begins. Using force-free, choice-led methods, we build confidence, communication, practical life skills and a stronger relationship between you and your dog.

How Can I Help You? 


Before we explore caring for and training your dog, we first need to understand them. This means recognising what they’re communicating, when they’re not coping, why behaviours happen and where training should begin. This section gives you the knowledge to see the world from your dog’s perspective and support them.


Tailored sessions designed around you and your dog’s individual needs. Looking at the whole dog, we explore their behaviour, physical and emotional wellbeing, environment and experience challenges. Sessions begin where your dog feels safest and progress at their pace, helping you understand their behaviour and build confidence, so you can move forward together. A free 20 minute discovery call is available.


Training is about giving your dog practical skills to help them confidently manage everyday life. From walking together,  settling calmly, to recall and making positive choices, training should build communication, trust and understanding. By working at your dog’s pace, we can create skills that are useful, achievable and enjoyable.

"Maria was patient, knowledgeable and friendly"

We attended one of Maria's dog training courses when we adopted our first dog (a rescue). The course was very well organised while still being relaxed, we learned some really good tips and training exercises and our dog showed some real improvements in just 6 weeks. (Well, we showed some improvements as it was about training us as much as the dog!). Maria was patient, knowledgeable and friendly throughout and we can't recommend her services enough.
