Lucie Dehe CBTT
Dog Trainer and Canine Behaviour Consultant
I know first-hand how challenging certain canine behaviours can be — and how they can put real strain on your relationship with your dog.
When our dog Wile E. joined the family, she brought with her a long list of tricky behaviours that made life at home — and out in the world — very difficult at times. And having worked professionally with dogs since 2014, I can say: I’ve seen it all.
I understand that every dog and every family is different, and my approach reflects that. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
It’s often not enough to simply stop an unwanted behaviour or distract a dog with treats. Real change comes from understanding why dogs do what they do — and making sure their physical, emotional and behavioural needs are met. My goal is to help you and your dog communicate more clearly, build a stronger bond, and live together with more ease and joy.
I offer both in-person and online support. We'll start by exploring the challenges you’re experiencing and how they’re affecting life for you and your dog. From there, I will guide you in understanding the behaviour, and coach you through practical, tailored training exercises that work for your individual situation.
Some behaviours can be incredibly frustrating — for both ends of the leash — and I get that. There is no judgment here, only support and guidance. Your relationship with your dog, and both of your welfare, are at the heart of everything I do.

Our Philosophy
We believe that dog training should be built on trust, compassion, and understanding — not fear or force.
Our philosophy is rooted in the idea that every dog is an individual, with their own needs, emotions, and ways of learning. We focus on supporting not just behaviour change, but also the emotional wellbeing of dogs and the people who care for them.
We work with you andoffer coaching, guidance, and support to help you feel confident and capable. My role is to help you understand your dog’s behaviour, meet their needs, and create real, lasting change through humane, evidence-based methods.
At the core of our work is the belief that your relationship with your dog matters most — and everything we do is designed to strengthen that bond.
"We did the group classes with Lucie and have seen such a great improvement in our 2 year old lurcher. Lucie is so attentive to the dogs and adapts her teaching to suit them. Would 100% recommend to anyone!"
