Dog Training and Behaviour
in Andover, Hampshire and Virtual throughout the UK
For the dog who is struggling, and the guardian who is ready for things to change
Reactivity. Anxiety. Lead frustration. Recall difficulties. The behaviours that leave you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or unsure what to try next.
At Sit Walk Stay, I help you understand what is driving your dog's behaviour, identify what they need to feel safer and more confident, and build a holistic, practical, individualised plan to help you both move forward.
Because your dog isn't purposely giving you a hard time. They may be having a hard time.
- Your dog barks, lunges or reacts to other dogs, people or things in their environment, and walks have become something to dread.
- Recall works beautifully at home but disappears the moment something more exciting catches their attention.
- Lead pulling leaves you physically exhausted, frustrated or anxious about taking your dog out.
- Your dog struggles with anxiety, hypervigilance, frustration or settling, and everyday life feels harder than it should.
- You've tried different training methods, watched countless videos or followed generic advice, but you're still struggling to understand what your dog needs.
- You feel as though you're constantly managing behaviours rather than making meaningful progress.
- Perhaps you've even started avoiding certain places, changing your routine or feeling judged by people who don't understand what you're going through.
Does this sound familiar
You are not failing your dog. And your dog is not a lost cause.
You deserve support that looks beyond the behaviour and helps you understand the bigger picture.
It doesn't have to stay this way
Reactivity, anxiety, frustration and other behavioural challenges are not simply a case of bad behaviour or disobedience.
Behaviour is communication. What we see on the outside is only part of the picture.
A dog's emotional state, previous experiences, environment, physical comfort, breed-specific needs, enrichment and ability to cope can all influence how they behave
That's why I don't believe in quick fixes, one-size-fits-all training plans or simply teaching a dog to suppress what they're feeling
Instead, we work to understand why the behaviour is happening, support your dog's underlying needs and develop the skills, confidence, coping strategies that can make everyday life easier and at one step at a time, reach your goals as a team to ever lasting successful change.
My approach combines force-free, positive reinforcement training with a holistic understanding of canine behaviour and wellbeing.
A different approach to behaviour.
We look beyond the behaviour you see.
