Support for owners with dogs over 6 months old:

Do you have a dog that lacks good manners, is constantly jumping up or ignoring your call?   Perhaps you're dealing with a persistent leash-puller or a pooch that simply doesn't listen to you?  Maybe you've recently adopted a rescue or rehomed dog and are eager to establish a strong foundation for their adjustment. Or it could be that your dog struggles to maintain calmness or is in need of a confidence boost. 

Don't worry, we have the solutions you need! 

Karen provides a range of online and in-person services to assist dog owners in addressing their day-to-day canine challenges. Through force-free, east-to-follow and positive "Happy Training" methods, along with engaging enrichment and mental exercises, she'll work with you to find effective solutions for your everyday dog-related issues.

Are you wrestling with specific dog training challenges or grappling with unwanted behaviours such as barking, over excitement or lack of calmness?  Do you long for one-on-one guidance from an experienced and certified expert?

Amidst the labyrinth of conflicting and outdated online dog training and behaviour advice, wouldn't it be a relief to engage in a personal conversation with a professional dog trainer who utilizes modern, force-free methods that deliver results?

Enter the Virtual Video session package with Karen, a flexible solution offering tailored and individualized support. This package is available to you wherever you are in the UK or worldwide.  It's a relaxed way of working through your issues and finding solutions, from the comfort of your own home.

Virtual sessions are particularly helpful for:
  • Dogs who are nervous or anxious
  • Dogs who don't travel well
  • Dogs who have been rehomed and are settling in 
  • Owners who are planning to rehome a dog and would like to start off their new life together the right way

No matter what your dog training needs are, Karen is here, ready to offer the expert guidance and advice you're seeking.

Option three: Mix and Match packages of support

Why not combine the benefits of both virtual and in-person sessions? 

The journey begins with a virtual consultation with Karen. During this session, you and Karen will collaboratively address your struggles and challenges and devise an action plan for immediate implementation.

Following the initial virtual meeting, you and Karen will discuss whether to continue with in-person or virtual sessions for the remaining portion, tailoring the choice to your specific preferences and needs.
