About Thinking Dogs
Our mission is to coach dog owners in reward-based dog training skills, using scientifically proven methods to help you build a strong and positive relationship. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience, we deliver training packages that are tailored to your dog and the results you want to achieve. We help you to communicate in a way that your dog will understand and work with rewards that motivate your dog.
​
We do our best to make sure that you and your dog both enjoy your sessions and to equip you with the skills you need to progress with your training at home. Coaching people in how to train their dogs to the next level, whether that is teaching basic obedience or working towards an advanced level, is a real passion for us.
We hope to inspire you to love training your dogs as much as we do, because there is no greater pleasure than having a well trained dog that you can take anywhere and have fun with.

Thinking Dogs brings together my love and fascination of dogs and people. It combines a lifetime passion of training dogs in domestic obedience and dog sports with over 25 years business experience of coaching and mentoring people in personal and professional development, communication skills and leadership.
​
Being part of a successful training journey for a dog and their human family brings me huge satisfaction. I continuously study to increase my knowledge and keep it up to date and get great pleasure from sharing that knowledge with my clients.
​
I have lived in a multi-dog household since I was a child and have owned a variety of breeds. I have successfully trained my own dogs for Competitive Obedience, Agility, UK Scentwork and Breed Showing.
