1:1 Training

Being a dog parent in the city is no walk in the park!

Think busy roads, packed parks, and plenty of stressed-out pups. If your dog’s recall is non-existent, they’re dragging you down the road after a cat, or you become invisible the moment another dog appears, you are not alone!

I’ve been through all of it (and more) and I promise, things can get better.

Many dog parents assume their young pups will simply grow out of unwanted behaviours but the truth is, practise makes perfect and right now, they’re getting really good at the things you don’t want them to do! Waiting until these behaviours become overwhelming (at any age) only makes change harder, often leading to costly behaviour programs or, in the worst cases, rehoming.

Don’t worry, you can have a calm, confident dog who rushes back to you in the park, walks safely by your side and is actually fun to be with. All it takes is the right support and guidance. As a qualified trainer who’s worked with hundreds of dogs, I can help you rediscover the joy of life with your pup!

My force-free, positive approach looks at the bigger picture: you, your dog, and the environment. I show you how to weave training into your daily routine so it feels natural, not like another chore.

Ready for a better-behaved pup?

Let’s get the ball rolling with a free 15-minute phone chat. Just pick a time below:


Is your dog like Hope the Husky?

Her poor owners would spend hours (I mean it, hours!) trying to get her back on lead after a walk.
They signed on to my London Dog program and here is what they have to say now:

“I did not expect our dog to improve so well and so quickly. Kaitlin is very helpful, gentle and has all the tricks and advice one might need. Hope loved her and is now a more confident and happy dog. Kaitlin’s positive reinforcement is exactly what we were looking for. If she can teach recall to a husky, she can literally do anything! I could not recommend her enough! We will be forever grateful!”

How About Quinny?

She struggles to trust people and would bark and lunge at almost anything when out on a walk.

“Kaitlin is amazing. She had our nervous dog literally eating out of her hands within moments of meeting her. We started out with a 1:1 consultation wherein Kaitlin assessed my dog’s needs. Training walks were recommended to get my dog to where she needs to be. Even after the first walk I could see a noticeable difference in the way she responded to her environment. Kaitlin is knowledgeable, patient, professional and I highly recommend her and Encore Dogs!”

  • The ‘greetings’ exercise is my favourite part of @puppyschooluk 😊

It is so fun to see what puppies do when they are given the choice to interact or not.

Pongo the Dalmatian was a bit unsure about approaching Indie the Ridgeback, and Indie responded so well by not pushing him, and deciding to play and sniff on her own, which then gave Pongo more confidence to approach and get involved in the sniffs 🐶
