Our Methods
At the heart of our approach is respect — for dogs, their people, and the unique relationship they share.
We use welfare-friendly training methods grounded in the science of learning and behaviour. Our work is centered on positive experiences, emotional wellbeing, and clear, compassionate communication — never fear, force, or punishment.
We take a coaching and counselling approach, supporting both dogs and their humans through their training journey. That means listening to your concerns, helping you understand the “why” behind the behaviour, and working together to find practical, achievable solutions that fit your life and your dog's needs.
Our goal is to build confidence, reduce stress, and create lasting behaviour change — through support, not struggle.
Our Expertise
With over 10 years of hands-on experience, we’ve supported dogs and their families through a wide range of training and behaviour challenges — from basic manners and puppy foundations to complex cases involving fear, anxiety, and aggression.
As a Certified Canine Behaviour & Training Technician (CBTT) with AniEd, our practice is grounded in up-to-date, evidence-based methods. The CBTT program includes ongoing education requirements, which means we stay current with the latest in canine science, welfare, and ethical training practices.
We specialise in understanding the why behind behaviour to create practical, individualised plans that work in the real world. Whether you're raising a confident puppy or navigating a more serious issue, you'll receive thoughtful, knowledgeable support — without judgment and with your dog’s wellbeing at the centre.
No two dogs are the same — and our approach reflects that.

"I couldn’t recommend Lucie enough - she is kind and compassionate to dogs and humans alike. Non-judgemental, incredibly knowledgeable and all around a pleasure to work with. "
Megan - Bobby's human
"We have just finished a training course with Lucie and cannot believe how much we learned. Lucie is a wealth of knowledge and really helped us in understanding our mini Schnauzer's behaviour, and gave us the tools to having a happy and well behaved dog. Five star dog training all the way!"
