A Whole Dog Approach to Behaviour
We use science-based, force-free methods to support lasting behaviour change and help your dog thrive. By considering the whole dog—their emotions, environment, and individual needs—we build confidence, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change through positive reinforcement.

If you’re struggling with your dog’s behaviour or training, you’re not alone. I work with owners to overcome common challenges and build calmer, more enjoyable relationships with their dogs, including:
-
Separation Anxiety

Loose Lead Walking

Puppy Training
About Ashleigh
My journey into canine behaviour began during four years working in the veterinary industry, where I saw first-hand how deeply behavioural issues can affect dogs and their families. Over time, this experience shaped my commitment to better understanding behaviour and finding more supportive, effective outcomes for dogs in need.
I have since specialised in canine behaviour, achieving a Distinction in the Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma through the British College of Canine Studies, and I am currently progressing through the Level 5 Advanced Animal Behaviour Diploma.
Our Science-Based Training Services
Behavioral Consultations
1-2-1 Sessions
The 1-2-1 Home visit session is suitable for any age of dog and is ideal as a kick start to your training programme. It enables us to concentrate on specifics and is a great way to get you on track, helping with direction and building owner confidence. This takes place at your home, a location of your choice or via Zoom, whichever you feel is most appropriate.
If you feel that a session out and about in the environment would be more beneficial, or a familiar walk, then we can do this too. This is helpful with issues like pulling on the lead, reactivity towards other dogs or people, nervousness around traffic, horses or bicycles, for example - together with over-friendliness, jumping up greeting people, etc. If recall is proving to be a problem, we can organise one or more sessions to focus on this. It is a way to put theory into practice and provides real life opportunities to improve handling skills, enhancing confidence and trust, so the client feels better equipped to offer kind, calm guidance to their dog.
The 1-2-1 home visit is suitable as an initial assessment for clients who are a little unsure what they need or for those who just need a simple one off session, a bit of a refresher or for reassurance that they are dealing with things in the most effective way.

Ashleigh is very friendly and knowledgeable about behavioral issues. She listens to what the problem is, makes suggestions and then demonstrates this. She has a good understanding of Dog behaviours which is evident in her force free methods.

I can’t recommend Ashleigh enough! From day one, she made me feel completely comfortable — never once judging me or my dog, no matter how many questions I had or how many mistakes we made along the way. Their knowledge is incredible; they explain everything clearly and tailor the training to what your dog actually needs.
What really sets them apart is how affordable their services are without ever compromising on quality. I genuinely feel like I got expert-level support at a price that didn’t break the bank. My dog has improved so much, and I feel more confident as an owner thanks to their guidance. A fantastic experience all round! Walking Ralph now is now enjoyable once again and I know that Ashleigh is just at the end of the phone should I need it.
