Hello! My name is Kaitlin and I am the face behind Encore Dogs! I am a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and a registered Animal Training Instructor (ATI) with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC). I am also a tutor for Puppy School UK and a volunteer trainer with DogAID.

Having grown up with a reactive dog, I know firsthand how challenging it can be just to leave the house and how crucial early, preventative training really is.

I began my training journey as a Puppy School UK tutor, helping dog parents catch problem behaviours early and build a strong foundation for success.

Alongside running group classes and 1:1 training for pet dogs, I now also focus on training assistance dogs. This means the techniques I use are not only force-free and effective, they’re proven to meet the high standards required to pass an assistance dog test. If they work for those dogs, they’ll work for yours too!
