I’ll be your coach

Life with a puppy, dog or cat is not always easy. Sometimes the reality seems so far from how we thought it would be. And living in London can bring its own challenges. You're not alone. Lots of people need extra help with their dog or cat’s daily routine, helping them settle in, adjust or cope better.

I live in London too. I can help with practical advice to support your journey and build your relationship. With years of training experience, I’ll guide you through best practice, backed by behavioural science. It’s about being flexible and looking at real life solutions. Let’s get started together.

“Dream puppy”

Thank you so much! These past 6 weeks have been amazing and I’m so glad we decided to join your puppy school. The skills we learned have helped us become more confident for her and she’s become such a dream puppy. We get so many compliments from strangers and other dog owners that she’s so good. Can’t thank you enough. We’ll definitely be in touch to continue our journey.

“So proud”

Our engagement with our dog Frankie improved a lot after a few one-to-one sessions with Stephanie. She started with building attention and improving our connection, and we worked a lot on chase recall. He no longer jets off into the woods at the first opportunity and we have a stronger bond.
