When our dog struggles, everyday life can quickly feel stressful. Simple things like walks, leaving your dog home alone or taking your dog to the groomer can be challenging situations that cause stress, frustration, worry and upset (and not just for our dogs!) After all, we just want to ensure our dogs are living their best life!
​If this sounds familiar you are in the right place. I work with owners to give them practical tools, coaching and ongoing support to help change their dog's behaviour. Sessions can take place in your home, garden and out on walks - where ever you need the training to work. We can also work online which is particularly effective for separation anxiety.
​
I work throughout Scotland covering Perthshire, Dundee, Fife and Stirling for in-person sessions and worldwide through online sessions (I have worked with clients in Edinburgh, Uist, Italy and even Los Angeles!)
Hi! I'm Karen and I have over 18 years of experience working with animals as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, Registered Veterinary Nurse and dog trainer. I hold a Diploma in Clinical Animal Behaviour from Edinburgh University and am a full member of the ABPC.
​
I use only scientifically proven, kind and force-free methods. I can help you change your dog's behaviour without using punishment, fear or intimidation - focusing instead on understanding, practical training and long-term improvement.​

"I've always enjoyed working with Karen - I first met her many years ago when attending classes with my dog which were always fantastic! In more recent years I've been delighted to be able to refer clients to her as a Clinical Animal Behaviourist, particularly as having worked with her with my own dogs, I know she is kind, supportive, and lovely to work with, as well as being an excellent trainer and behaviourist."
