🐾 Exciting News – We're Branching Out! 🐾

Nutrition has always been a huge passion of mine, and I'm really excited to be expanding my knowledge and qualifications in this area, working towards a MSc in Animal Nutrition from Glasgow University Veterinary School.

As part of this next step, I'm now offering 1:1 personalised dog nutrition advice sessions, delivered via Zoom.

Every dog is an individual, and their nutritional needs are too. Whether you're looking to review your dog's current diet, explore different feeding options, support a dog with specific nutritional needs or simply make sure you're getting the best out of their food, these sessions are tailored entirely to your dog.

What's included?
🐾 A one-to-one Zoom consultation.
🐾 Discussion of your dog's individual needs, lifestyle and current diet.
🐾 Personalised nutritional recommendations.
🐾 A full, tailored diet plan to take away following your session.

Introductory price: £40 per session

I'm really looking forward to bringing this passion into another area of my work and helping owners make informed choices about feeding their dogs.

Good nutrition is about so much more than simply filling a bowl. It's about supporting the individual dog, their health, wellbeing and quality of life. ❤️

Amazing Chat with Nathan Dunleavy about Ethical Dog Training, Regulation and everything in between.

18/10/2026

I met this beauiful dog on the right 9 weeks ago.

First we started with my "Rebalance" session where we looked at the WHOLE picture- any info on the dogs past, nutrition, any signs of pain, sleep, environment- everything! We made a few tweeks and gave the guardian some bits to work on to increase his confidence.

This was then followed by 7 one to one sessions where we used one of our bomb proof dogs in the sessions. We worked at a distance and gradually moved closer, we mixed dogs up and took it at the dogs pace.

Then yesterday, this happened.

No dogs were shocked, poked or flooded in this process. Yes, it may take longer but this will work in the longer run as UNDERLYING issues have been addressed. Flooding your dog in the local shopping centre until the behaviour has been supressed does not.

Spicy Ethical Behaviourists Monday Morning Musings.

I hear so many "trainers" who use aversive tools saying its not the tool thats the issue its how you use it.

But as I pack my bag ready for another week of my teaching job I wonder...what if "tools" were still used in the classroom. Would we say, the cane isn't is issue its how its used?

The short answer is no. Aversive tools were removed from the classroom for a reason, so why do people think its ok to use them when training a dog.

If you are a trainer or someone who has been to a trainer and has used/is using aversives. I would like you to think- would you use these on your children...I strongly suspect the answer would be no!

My current foster Jasper...what a story behind this poor boy!

He is in urgent need of X rays for an injury to his spine. For charities at the moment money is tight.

His X rays are going to be around £1100.

🐾 Plea for help🐾

Local business owners can you do either of the following-

💜 Sponsor a Class in an online photo show - mainly dog catergories but a few general ones.

💜 Donate an online auction prize.

For both your business logo and link will be shared so will be advertising for you.

Jasper deserves the best life.

Please like and share!

This has broken me.

I met a client with a reactive dog. They had previously been advised by another trainer to use a slip lead high up on the neck and to “give a good tug” whenever the dog reacted.

Yes, it looked like it worked at first — but in reality, it was simply masking the behaviour. The dog wasn’t learning or feeling safer; it was avoiding pain. These methods don’t fix reactivity. Over time, they often make it worse, because the dog begins to associate other dogs with discomfort, fear, or pain. And the real reason for the reactivity is never addressed.

Fast forward in time. I saw the dog for an Assessment/Rebalance session. Days later, the dog was put to sleep after escalating and turning on its owner.

This didn’t need to happen.
This should never have happened.
And I am heartbroken.

The industry is broken. This is why we need regulation.

Would you go to a hairdresser who only completed an online course, never touched a client’s hair, and had no supervised experience — yet was allowed to call themselves a professional? Of course not.

So why are we allowing people with no qualifications, no hands-on experience, and no up-to-date knowledge of humane, science-based training methods to work with our dogs?

Dogs — and their families — deserve better.
We must do better.
And this is exactly why I continue to advocate for change.

I still have some copies of my book ready and waiting for new homes. £8.50 each.

Herbie's Story is a powerful and deeply moving journey of life with a reactive rescue dog. From being found abandoned in a bin to becoming a much-loved member of the family, Herbie's path is anything but simple.Told with honesty and heart, this book explores the struggles, setbacks, and triumphs of raising a dog who sees the world as a threat. From the dark days of almost giving up, through surgery and hydrotherapy, to training for ultra-walks and discovering unshakable trust, Herbie's journey is one of resilience, patience, and love.More than a story about a dog, this is about understanding, adapting, and building a bond that changes everything. Herbie may never be the "perfect dog," but he is proof that reactive doesn't mean broken - and that every small victory deserves to be celebrated.
