After years of training guide dogs to high, exacting standards, I want to help pet dog owners get the best out of their relationships with their hounds too. Using simple, fun, positive techniques, I can show you not only how to have a well behaved pooch but also how to open up a 2-way communication between you and your canine, and help them become a more confident, resilient, happier member of the family.

TESTIMONIALS
"Having classes with Zara was fantastic. As first time owners of a young Labrador, we had a lot of worries, but Zara was incredibly reassuring and had lots of great ideas for games to play with our puppy. The classes improved both our puppy's behaviour and our confidence as owners"
Philip & Donna - Jessie's humans
Mikey's behaviour has definitely improved after starting training with Zara! We've attended group puppy classes and a 1-on-1 session and had a wonderful experience. Zara has been so helpful in identifying ways to help Mikey with his individual needs as an anxious dog, and was always positive and encouraging. The training classes were a great introduction to understanding how dogs learn and how best to encourage good behaviour through positive reinforcement. Mikey always looked forward to puppy classes and I have definitely learnt a lot. I highly recommend!
Leo - Mikey's human
Zara was able to entirely change my relationship with, and therefore behaviour of, our 8 month old Vizsla puppy within a just few sessions. Zara’s patient, super calm approach, and clear explanations of positive reinforcement training, along with lots of practical exercises and ideas to try, enabled us to get this first time puppy owner on back on a very positive track.
Hazel - Cosmo's human
Small classes combined with Zara's wealth of experience create a supportive and relaxed atmosphere. Although commands are taught many other useful aspects are covered such as health checks, useful kit and the importance of understanding and bonding with your dog. Zara took time to answer questions and adapted the sessions to suit the needs of our group. We were sad to finish the course but will be back for some more support when we hit the teenage phase!
Sarah - Puffin's human
Maizey is much improved although she still has lots to learn! A small group of new puppy owners were despairing with their unruly puppies but Zara's training classes came to the rescue.
The classes were conducted in a friendly and helpful manner. The owners were encouraged to understand canine behaviour and to reward for good outcomes. The puppies developed understanding, socialising skills and objectives. A good experience for all!
