Vet Recommended Dog Training and Behaviour Support in Ruislip
Learn how to successfully train your dog so what you learn lasts beyond our time together.
“You’re not failing your dog!”
I know that if you’re struggling or experiencing challenges it can be easy to blame yourself or to worry it’s impossible to change…but I’ve devoted over nearly three decades to learning how to understand dogs and helping loving owners solve their problems even when things feel hopeless.
Life Changing Support!
“Jo is literally an interpreter for dogs her ability to read a dog’s body
language and the circumstances influencing behaviours is
incredible. I cannot recommend Jo enough. Life Changing!”
— Anita
Almost every ‘training’ problem has a behaviour/emotional problem underneath
What might feel like stubborn behaviour or a refusal to listen is often a sign there’s something else going on. So whether you’re wanting to get things right from the start or need help turning problems around, I’ll help you understand what your dog really needs to thrive.
When we work together, I approach it like a dog detective, using my 25 years experience to uncover what your dog’s feeling so we can get to the root cause of behaviour and treat it effectively.
How can I help your dog?
Puppy Training & Behaviour
Whether you have a bitey puppy, or a more sensitive pup, my puppy training is tailored to focus on what you need most.
Dog Training & Behaviour
From non-existent recall to barking and lunging frenzies on the lead, I’ll give you what you need to restore calm.
Pain & Discomfort Assessment
Pain in dogs is often masked and hard for your vet to spot. I gather the insights your vet needs to make a diagnosis.
The best for your dog and you!
“Jo’s knowledge and expertise is incredible, and her way of imparting it
is with sensitivity and care. I will be forever grateful for Jo and
everything she’s done for us. If you are looking for the best for your dog
and yourself Jo would be my recommendation. “
— Tracey
Meet your friendly trainer & behaviourist
I’m fascinated by what makes dogs behave the way they do and passionate about helping their owners understand them so you can both live happily and confidently together. After working in rescue kennels over 30 years ago, I knew I wanted to do more to help dogs stay in happy forever homes and to help their humans navigate challenges with kind and caring support.
I always tailor my advice and training to each individual and their family, because it’s important that whatever plan we develop is doable for you and feels right to implement.

No more frustration or embarrassment
“Gone are the days of frustration and getting annoyed/embarrassed if
my dog ‘feral barks’ in public. Jo helped me understand my dog’s cues,
body language and how to preempt potential triggers and manage them
before they happen. I no longer see walks as a gruelling mission to
avoid, but instead I see them as opportunities to train both of my dogs
and have lots of fun!”
— Jake

Your questions answered!
Do you offer puppy classes?
My 25+ years experience as a dog trainer and behaviourist has taught me that 121 puppy training is more effective than puppy classes. While classes might be fun, they can be overstimulating for a lot of puppies (and humans). And they follow a general curriculum rather than focusing on what the individual puppy and family need.
Instead, I offer 121 puppy training so we can focus on what you most need help with in an environment that makes it easy for both you and your puppy to learn.
What’s the difference between a dog trainer and a behaviourist?
I’m glad you asked! Dog training is about teaching new skills – things like loose lead walking, recall, settling and skills like drop it or leave it. Dog behaviour work is for problem behaviours or challenges – things like reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety or recovering from trauma.
As both a qualified dog trainer and behaviourist with over 25 years experience, I can help you with both teaching new behaviours and overcoming problems.
Where do you train?
I work with you and your dog where you need it most – that might be in your home or out in the local area. Every training programme is bespoke to you and your dog so we can adapt it to meet your needs.
I work both online and in person in the following areas: South Ruislip, Ruislip, Hillingdon, Uxbridge, Ickenham, Hayes, Slough, Ealing, Eastcote, Pinner, Harrow, Denham, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peters, Northwood, Watford, Iver, Stoke Poges and more…
