About

I know what it’s like to live with a “complex dog.” When you’re faced with behaviours you weren’t expecting, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. But you’re not alone. By being here today, you’ve already taken the first step towards a calmer, happier life with your dog – as a true team.

I’m Sally – Canine & Animal Behaviourist, Trainer, and Certified Family Dog Mediator. I am a full behaviourist member of The Association of INTODogs, plus a member of the International Companion Animal Network. INTODogs is a UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter organisation.

I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Canine Behaviour alongside further qualifications in Canine Communication, Anxiety, Fear, Training, L.E.G.S® Applied Ethology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Health and Nutrition. In everything I do, I take a holistic approach – looking at the whole dog, not just the behaviour, because every dog deserves an approach as individual as they are.

I’m also a published author on dog behaviour. My books, “Empowering Your Dog Through Choice” and “Dogs Can Talk!”, are available worldwide on Amazon and reflect my core belief: dogs thrive when given choice, understanding, and empathy.

My approach is caring, positive, and choice-based. I don’t believe in suppressing behaviour with punishment. Instead, I help you understand why your dog is behaving a certain way, what they’re trying to communicate, and how we can meet their needs so they feel safer, calmer, and more confident in their world.

I specialise in reactivity and aggression, whether towards people or other dogs, and I have a keen interest in gait, posture, and movement – because the way a dog moves often tells us as much as the way they behave.

The Team Around The Dog

I believe in collaboration, not competition. In my experience, the best outcomes for dogs happen when everyone in their world works together. That’s why I champion a “team around the dog” approach – bringing together behaviourists, vets, trainers, walkers, groomers, and other professionals to support your dog holistically. After all, they deserve a team who understands and cares for every part of who they are.
