About Me

I’m Michelle and I live in Malvern with my beautiful black Lab.

I am incredibly passionate about all things dog, dog behaviour, dog training and teaching. Teaching has always been a part of me. Before I stepped into the world of dog training, I spent over ten years of my career as a Foundation Stage teacher here in the UK and Dubai, helping young children navigate their first big steps towards school.

Just as I once focused on building the vital foundations for early leaning, I now help dog guardians develop the essential skills their canine friends need to truly thrive.  

Building foundations for life - for children once, for dogs now.

​

My journey into dog training started thanks to my own beautiful Labrador. He isn't just a pet; he is part of my family and my greatest teacher. Watching him sparked an obsession to understand not just what he was doing, but the 'why' behind it. I wanted to dive into his mind, figure out what drives him and learn the science of what truly makes him who he is.

By learning alongside him, our bond became stronger than I ever thought possible.

I believe that every dog deserves to be taught with kindness and respect. That’s why I chose to qualify as a Level 4 Trainer with Canine Principles, an organisation renowned for its ethical and scientific approach to canine coaching.

​

My methods are rooted in positive reinforcement – rewarding the ‘good' to build a lasting bond of trust without the use of fear or force. I am currently expanding my knowledge by working toward a Level 5 qualification in Canine Behaviour to ensure I can provide the highest standard of training and behaviour modification for your canine companion.

​

I know how overwhelming it feels when you don't know where to start or what your dog needs. My mission is to help you cut through that frustration. I'm here to support you in decoding your dog's language, tackling their specific needs, and building that same incredible connection I found and have with my dog.

Whatever the challenge, let's unlock your dogs potential together, all from the comfort of your own home.
