I’m moving to three working days a week, concentrating on home visits and supporting owners on their local walks. A smaller working week gives me room for a better balance while focusing on the work where I feel I can make a real difference.

Dogs can behave very differently in a training field, somewhere unfamiliar or with a different handler. But what happens when they get home and head out on their usual walk?

That’s where familiar expectations, routines and patterns of behaviour can take over.

Sometimes the walk starts before you’ve even opened the front door. Your dog is already excited or on alert, anticipating what’s coming. Outside, they pull towards their favourite sniffing spots, move from one thing to the next and barely check in with you.

Then another dog appears, and suddenly you need them to listen and engage with you—when that connection hasn’t really been there from the start.

They react, you get through it, and tomorrow the same sequence happens again. Each repetition can make that pattern more established.

This isn’t about blaming owners. It’s about noticing the parts of the picture that are easily missed.

Some of those patterns begin at home, through everyday interactions that might seem unrelated to pulling, barking or reacting outside. Fear, frustration, excitement and previous experiences can all play a part too.

I’ll observe your dog at home and join you on your local walk, helping you understand what may be driving their behaviour, where things start to build, and what we can do differently along the way.

Sometimes the most useful changes happen well before the moment you’re struggling with.

The goal is to help you and your dog enjoy home life and local walks again.

Based in Crawley, West Sussex. Message Dog Hub to enquire about a home visit or supported local walk. 🐾

Sometimes you have to show what is possible,
Then you teach how to achieve it.

🐾 A trainer alongside you, where you need the help.

Ever wondered why your dog can be great at a training field or around a group of calm dogs, but challenging again at home or on your usual walk?

Familiar surroundings, learnt habits, excitement and different handling can all play a part. Seeing what happens in your everyday environment helps us understand what’s going on.

Dog Hub is focusing on home visits and joining you on your local walks.

An opportunity to get a trainer’s view, ask questions and work through the situations you find difficult together. We can look at creating space, building engagement and helping you both feel more comfortable.

The goal is simple: help you start enjoying your walks again.

Been super busy and having a break from social media.
Glad I remembered to get my phone out for Obi the bull terrier. He spitting image of my Dolly.
We do lots of dog testing at the hub.
A big problem lots of owners have is calling their dogs away from other dogs , so we been practicing that with a lot of clients lately.

🐾 **MORE CHANGES AT DOG HUB — INTRODUCING DOG HUB 360**

I’m constantly streamlining Dog Hub and looking at what dog owners actually want and need from a trainer.

And I’ve noticed something about my own sessions…

**I nearly always run over. 😂**

Because once I start working with you and your dog, I don't just want to look at the one problem you booked me for.

I want to show you the **whole picture**.

How does your dog engage with you?

What are they like on a walk?

How are your lead skills?

What does their recall really look like?

Can they play with you?

Could they have more freedom?

How do they behave around other dogs and people?

Are you using the right equipment?

Could a different training method suit *you and your dog* better?

What are the little things I can see that could make everyday life together easier and more enjoyable?

That's why I'm introducing:

🔵 **DOG HUB 360**

A **2-hour, in-depth experience with you and your dog** where we have the time to explore the whole picture.

This isn't just a behaviour assessment.

And it isn't two hours of me standing there talking at you.

**We're going to get out and do things.**

We'll walk. We'll train. We'll play. We'll practise lead skills and recall fundamentals. We'll look at engagement, communication and confidence. We can experiment with different equipment and different approaches and see what actually works for *your* dog.

And importantly, **your dog doesn't need to have a big problem.**

Maybe you've got a lovely dog but you've never trusted them off lead.

Maybe walks could simply be better.

Maybe you'd like more engagement.

Maybe you've used trainers before — or you're currently working with one — but you'd like another experienced pair of eyes.

Maybe you simply want to understand **why your dog does what they do.**

There is no judgement and no one-size-fits-all method.

At the end, you'll come away with a much better understanding of your dog, practical things we've already worked on together and your own **Dog Hub 360 report and game plan** explaining what I'd recommend moving forward.

And if the answer is *“You're doing great — keep doing what you're doing”*, I'll tell you that too.

**Two hours. Your dog. The whole picture.**

🐾 **DOG HUB 360 — coming very soon.**

Crawley, West Sussex

I'll be releasing the first appointments shortly.

Some dogs have all their boxes ticked — off-lead freedom, time with other dogs, plenty of enrichment — and yet they can still pull, bark and lunge when they’re on lead.

Sometimes we can spend forever looking for the why. But sometimes the dog simply needs to understand: right now isn’t the time to meet that dog. Right now, I need you to listen to me.

In today’s session we worked around my dogs using the owner’s preferred front-clip harness — and made the equipment work for us.

The little details matter: body position, which side the lead sits, your setup, timing and being ready before you need it.

Then it’s about reps, reps, reps.

Calm behaviour = we move closer and potentially say hello.
Pulling, barking or lunging = we move away and reset.

Make mistakes, feel the good reps, learn the difference — then aim for more good reps than bad.

Great progress 👌🐾

🐾 DOG HUB — SMALL PRICE UPDATE

Just a quick heads-up to all my lovely clients.

With the continued rise in fuel and general running costs, I’m having to make a small adjustment to services that involve travelling.

This will mainly affect home visits and Bootcamp services where I collect and return your dog.

I’ve always tried to keep Dog Hub reasonably priced and accessible, and my training prices will continue to reflect that. However, with the amount of driving involved in some appointments, I can no longer absorb all of the travel costs.

Field-based sessions and services where you bring your dog to me will remain the most cost-effective option.

Thanks as always for your understanding and continued support. 🐾
