A little about me > I am a fully insured, DBS checked experienced do

g trainer both professionally and academically. I have worked as a dog walker, pet sitter, dog trainer, doggy daycare assistant and dog park supervisor previously. I have a BSc degree in Animal Training & Behaviour as well as continuing to expand my knowledge by attended numerous courses so that I can provide the best service to my possibility to those I am honoured to coach.
•
I have work closely for 5 years with the wonderful charity, Pet Respect https://petrespect.org.uk/ of which my romanian rescue is a therapy dog - educating children how to appropriately interact with animals, build confidence, brighten peoples days and more. I aim to continue to provide my training knowledge, understanding and methods to other various charities/sanctuaries/shelters throughout my career, as well as continuing to push myself to develop more as a training proffessional.
•
I am also a proud canine professional member of the Pet Proffessional Guild; This means I do not preach, teach or use any methods, devices or tools which aim to punish, harm or intimidate dogs through training. Instead I strive to educate pet parents in and around Hull to understand, communicate and connect with their pooches in a fun, force-free and fear-free way so they can go from feeling stressed, hopeless & frustrated to proud, happy and relaxed due to a process of actively teaching and training their dog how to behave.

You may have noticed my 3 P's of training, well let me explain:
PASSIONATE > in guiding you and your pooch through your training journey and providing a safe space for you to turn to should you ever need it. PROACTIVE > coaching to provide you with the management and training information you deserve to enable you to guide your dog throughout life and grow into the amazing dog we all know they can be. IMPORTANT: It is advised to rule out any underlying medical conditions with your veterinary proffessional before starting with any dog trainer. I am always happy to help by providing my services to you or advising where to go should I not provide the service you're looking for. Either way I am certainly looking forward to guiding and joining you on your training journey. Kindest regards,
Sally x

🦴🐾 **Let’s Talk About “Littermate Syndrome” – Myth or Fact?** 🐾🦴

You’ve probably heard it before: **“Never adopt two puppies from the same litter!”**
The warning? They’ll bond too closely, become aggressive, fearful, or untrainable. This is what’s often called **Littermate Syndrome**.

But here’s the truth:
👉 **Littermate Syndrome isn’t backed by science — it’s a training and management issue, not a guaranteed outcome.**

💡 What’s actually going on?
Yes, raising two puppies at once is **a lot of work**. Without proper structure, any pair of dogs — siblings or not — can develop behavioural issues like over-dependence, poor socialisation, or separation anxiety.

But that doesn’t mean the pups are doomed just because they’re littermates.

🐶 Many trainers and behaviourists now agree:
➡️ With **intentional training**, **individual bonding time**, and **socialisation**, littermates can grow into well-adjusted, confident dogs.
➡️ Behaviour problems arise when puppies (any puppies) aren’t given clear structure or independence.

📚 What *is* needed:
✅ Separate training sessions
✅ One-on-one time with humans
✅ Opportunities to build confidence apart from each other
✅ A commitment to patient, consistent guidance

So, should you adopt littermates?
Only if you’re ready for the extra time and effort it takes to raise **two dogs at once** — not because of a “syndrome”, but because **puppies are a handful!**

Let’s stop blaming the litter, and start focusing on the training. 🐕💪

To train your litter mates or duo we train them together in class so they learn to bond with you while their best pal is around. Better still I have raised multiple littermates into amazing well behaved dogs and can share my wisdom and experience https://www.bestbehaviourdogtraining.co.uk/puppy-and-dog-training-classes/

Thank you everyone for attending another lush social and wellbeing walk ❤️

Would you believe me if I said 4 of these dogs have struggled around other people and dogs previously? Well, you better believe it. However, look at how wonderful they all are doing together 🥹
This is what happens when you're around an understanding and helpful community.

I can't thank Amy & Lee enough for listening to my wishes, taking their time and informing me of the best times and days to start integrating and trying Nellie at their daycare environment 🥹

We had an introduction with me there for Nellie first, with a few of their already settled, happy and wonderful doggies in their care last week, then on Tuesday she had her first half day with them.

A little confused initially, as she's used to me being with her at the facility, but I'm sure in time she'll know what to expect. She wasn't showing signs of being worried or anything when she was home, had a potter, gave me a kiss and cuddle hello then went to rest to process it all. Which just shows how much Amy and Lee helped her whilst in their care.

I chose Walking with Canines Ltd as I know them personally, Nellie loves them both, I've seen the environment and how they work, its local to me, Nellie is lucky to have been there multiple times for training, I like how they aim to mix suitable dogs together but aim for coexisting, not constant crazy play (play is allowed but they're clued up as to what is good play and not so good play). They run their daycare mostly outdoors, in an enclosed field environment with access to indoor areas to rest or for when its the colder months, so it's a more of a natural environment for the dogs to be in, with plenty of space compared to other daycares or walking services. Plus it's their home too and if needed, Nellie could eventually stay with them for full days or sleep overs 🥰

Thank you both ❤️

A fab morning - thank you to .the.rescue.dog pawrents for these photos 🥹

World watch, practicing behaviours in new environment, helping with arousal, greetings (direct bottom sniffs and indirect trail sniffys), novel objects exposure, breaks and cafe settles. Phew, so much we do BUT it doesn't seem like all of this as we break it down, mix it up and provide time to process.

Shout out to the amazing pooch and handler join us in the first half of the session, who got further than they have before but had to stop earlier, so not to push them too much ❤️ it's important when to know your dogs limit.

Overall a fabulously successful morning and I was so proud of my Simba 🦁
