Dog Training in North London
Behaviour-Focused Dog Training
If your dog is showing problem behaviours such as reactivity, fear, anxiety, pulling on the lead, barking, jumping or difficulty settling, you may feel frustrated or worried about what to do next.
With 20 years of experience working with dogs and an HNC in Canine Behaviour & Training, I offer behaviour-focused dog training in Muswell Hill, Hornsey, Crouch End and all North London areas.
My approach is calm, science-based and tailored to your dog’s individual needs, with a focus on understanding the root of the behaviour and creating a clear, manageable plan for improvement.
Dog Training for Problem Behaviours
I work with dogs who display a range of problem behaviours, including:
-
Reactivity towards other dogs or people.
-
Fear or anxiety in certain situations.
-
Pulling on the lead.
-
Excessive barking or whining.
-
Jumping up, mouthing or rough play.
-
Difficulty settling, over-excitement or hyperactivity.
-
Leash reactivity or resource guarding.
-
Generalised anxiety or situational fear.
Every dog is different, and I do not use quick-fix methods. Instead, I focus on understanding what your dog is experiencing and why the behaviour is happening, then build a plan that supports long-term change.
My Approach to Behaviour Modification
My training is based on a clear understanding of canine behaviour and learning theory, supported by my HNC in Canine Behaviour & Training. This means I:
-
Assess your dog’s behaviour in context, looking at triggers, environment and history.
-
Use positive, science-based methods that build confidence and reduce stress.
-
Create a realistic, step-by-step plan that fits your lifestyle.
-
Work with you and your dog over time, not just in a single session.
-
Focus on gentle behaviour modification rather than punishment or force.
I always prioritise your dog’s welfare and emotional state.

Choosing a dog trainer for behaviour issues is about trust, knowledge and experience.
With 20 years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments and an HNC in Canine Behaviour & Training, I bring a depth of understanding that goes well beyond basic obedience training. My qualification means I understand how dogs learn, behave and respond under stress and I can adapt my approach to suit difficult or sensitive cases.
I am DBS-checked and fully insured, which is important when working with dogs that may show problem behaviours. I work with care, patience and professionalism and I treat every dog as if they were my own.
