Itโs been a busy few months of learning and growing behind the scenes at Banana Dogs, and I wanted to share a quick update on where things are heading.

Iโm thrilled to share that Iโve taken on a new part-time role with the wonderful charity Canine Partners, helping train dogs that transform daily lives of people with mobility challenges. Becoming Assistance Dog Trainer has been my aspiration ever since I got into professional dog training, and so landing this role makes me immensely proud of how far Iโve come. Working at this level of precision and partnership is an absolute privilege, and all insights I gain in this role feed directly into every session I deliver to my private clients, too.

To make sure Iโm always bringing you the absolute best, evidence-based methods, I recently completed the Ofqual Level 3 IMDT course in Learning, Motivation, and Reinforcement. Science-backed, force-free training isn't static - the research and methods are evolving constantly. And so keeping up with recent studies means together we can solve tricky behaviours faster, with less frustration for both you and your dog.

Because Iโm fully committed to helping dogs with more complex emotional needs (and letโs face it, because Iโm a complete canine geek!) Iโve officially embarked on a journey to train as a Clinical Canine Behaviourist! The only way is up! ๐ฆธ๐ผโโ๏ธ

Whether we're building a reliable recall, or tackling daily distractions, you get top-tier coaching backed by modern behavioural science, tailored to how your dog actually learns, and also fully personalised to your physical and emotional needs.
Thanks to all of my past and current clients for their trust. I canโt wait to bring all of this fresh knowledge into our next sessions! ๐คฉ
