About Us

 I’ve had many rescue dogs of my own over the years, with their own individual issues ranging from running away, nervous aggression with people nervous aggression with dogs, separation anxiety and stealing food. Over this time, I have had first-hand experience of different methods used by various dog behaviourists and trainers, some were helpful with some points but few were able to provide solutions to the whole problem. 

More recently, I had an unusual situation of an older dog, suddenly developing separation anxiety at night. When his companion dog died a few months later, he went on to get random separation anxiety 

in the day too, turning the house upside down on many occasions, over many months!

I sought answers from other trainers, behaviourists and vets but as no one understood why it was happening they were unable to provide the solution I was seeking. Desperation to find an answer to this issue, led me to discover the methods, I now use today, and is the foundation I use with all clients. 

This foundation is the Dog Calming Code, which even on its own can solve many common issues that people and their dogs face, but once in place, it makes it much easier to teach further skills and obedience techniques, because the dog or puppy is ready to engage and focus.
