Struggling With Your Dog’s Behaviour?
Have you been told your dog is untrainable or “too reactive”?
You are not alone. Many owners feel:
✔ Overwhelmed and unsure how to help
✔ Worried or embarrassed about their dog’s behaviour
✔ Stuck in stressful, repeating patterns
✔ Confused by conflicting advice
There is hope. With the right approach, your dog can learn to feel safe, respond calmly, and reconnect with you.
Tailored Dog Behaviour Training With Jennie
Your dog’s behaviour is not a failure, it is communication. In our sessions, we uncover what makes your dog feel unsafe, misunderstood, or insecure and create a clear plan to respond with calm consistency.
My dog behaviour training in Essex is based on positive reinforcement and proven behaviour science. Together, we will:
✔ Replace fear and frustration with confidence
✔ Reward the behaviours we want and build trust
✔ Help your dog feel safe and supported in every situation
This approach works for every dog, whether you are:
✔ Supporting a rescue with trauma
✔ Helping a fearful or anxious companion
✔ Guiding a dog who has been labelled “too much”

Pricing and services
I keep dog behaviour support simple and pressure free with clear, fair pricing. A standard behaviour consult is £75 for a focused sixty minute session with follow up notes so you have something to refer back to and build on. You can also choose one of my Foundations packs for even better value and ongoing support. Most dog owners start with the Starter Consult and, if you would like more support, you have the option for upgrading to Progress or Plus within 48 hours of your initial consult by just paying the difference. No hard sell and no lock ins. Positive reward based training that works for both you and your dog. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me and I will guide you every step of the way.
Dog Behaviour Foundations
Social group walks for real life practice
Social Group Walks for all dogs
Many owners feel nervous about real life practice: Will my dog cope around others? Will they pull, bark, or switch off from me? Don’t panic. After an initial behaviour consult or an assisted walk with me, you can choose to join behaviour led group walks to practise calm passing, loose lead focus, handler engagement and choice at comfortable distances around friendly, pre assessed dogs. When dogs are ready, they will also have the option for a short social catch up with like minded dogs, always welfare first and under threshold.
