ABOUT ME

WHO AM I & WHO I HELP?

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.

I help dogs who are struggling - whether they're terrified of the world, reactive to other dogs, or just overwhelmed by their new life. And I help their owners feel confident, supported, and hopeful again.

HOW ROO CHANGED EVERYTHING

When Roo first arrived from Romania, she wouldn't leave the house. Not for walks. Not for the garden. Not even for food.

I felt overwhelmed. I'd pictured this beautiful life we'd have together - beach walks, adventures, freedom. Instead, I had a dog who was so shut down she couldn't function.

I knew rescue dogs were hard work. But I didn't know it would be like this.

The knowledge I had wasn't enough. I had to dig deeper - into foreign rescue behavior, trauma, and what these dogs need to feel safe. I had to learn patience I didn't know I had.

Slowly, Roo started to come out of her shell. First, she'd step into the garden. Then, she'd walk to the end of the street. Then, she'd sniff another dog without panicking.

Now? She's confident, playful, and thriving. She has dog friends. She explores off-lead. She's living the life I always imagined for her.

But it took time. And patience. And the right approach.

That journey taught me more about training than any course ever could. It taught me what rescue dogs really need. And it's shaped everything I do as a trainer.

If you're struggling with a nervous, anxious, or reactive dog - especially a rescue - I get it. I've been there. And I can help.

ALWAYS LEARNING

I'm deeply committed to ongoing education and keeping my methods modern, ethical, and effective.

I'm currently training with:

•Yorkshire Canine Academy (year-long mentorship)

•The School of Canine Science (3-year Behaviour Bible course)

I've also completed courses and workshops with some of the most respected trainers and behaviorists in the industry, including:

•Dr. Melanie Udhe

•Pat Stuart

•Jo-Rosie Haffenden

•Jacob Morgan

•Jay Jack

I believe in staying curious, staying humble, and always learning - because dogs (and their owners) deserve the best.

WHAT I BELIEVE

✅ Every dog deserves a relationship built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect - not fear or intimidation.

✅ Training isn't just about teaching commands - it's about nurturing communication and connection between dog and owner.

✅ Rescue dogs (especially foreign rescues) need patience, empathy, and specialized support - not generic training plans.

✅ Real-world training is more important than Instagram-perfect training - I care about what works in your life, not what looks good on social media.

✅ Owners deserve ongoing support, not just a few sessions - that's why I offer 24/7 WhatsApp support and unlimited video feedback.

WHY I DO THIS

I do this work because I've seen what's possible when a dog feels safe, understood, and supported.

I've seen terrified rescue dogs become confident explorers.

I've seen reactive dogs learn to walk calmly past triggers.

I've seen overwhelmed owners feel hopeful again.

And I've lived it myself with Roo.

If you're struggling with your dog right now - if you're overwhelmed, frustrated, or just not sure where to start - I'm here to help.

Thank you for being here. I look forward to working together.
