ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Kelly — a professional dog trainer with a passion for helping dogs and their owners live happier, more harmonious lives together. I’ve been working with dogs professionally since 2018, driven by a deep commitment to understanding canine behaviour from every angle — emotional, physical, and environmental.

My approach is holistic, recognizing that a dog’s behaviour is shaped by their experiences, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I believe training isn’t just about teaching commands — it’s about nurturing communication, trust, and mutual understanding between dog and owner.

A big part of what has shaped me as a trainer is my own dog, Roo, a sweet Romanian rescue who came into my life in 2023. Like many foreign rescues, she’s faced challenges with confidence and adapting to a new world. Supporting Roo on her journey has deepened my empathy and reinforced my belief in the power of patient, thoughtful training. Watching her grow and thrive is a constant reminder of why I do what I do.

I’m deeply committed to ongoing education and keeping my methods modern, ethical, and effective. Over the years, I’ve attended workshops and completed courses and mentorships with some of the most respected trainers and behaviourists in the industry, including Dr. Melanie Udhe, Pat Stuart, Jo-Rosie Haffenden, Jacob Morgan, and Jay Jack to name a few. Currently, I’m immersed in a comprehensive three-year Behaviour Bible course with The School of Canine Science, alongside a year long mentorship with The Yorkshire Canine Academy.

I truly believe every dog and every family deserves a relationship built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. I am here to help guide you and your dog on that journey. Thank you for being here, and I look forward to working together.
