“Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is the need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause not the symptom.”

~ Ashleigh Warner

Behaviour Case Review & Training

Helping Shy, Anxious, or Reactive Dogs Feel Safer in the World, Enjoy it and Thrive

This service is ideal for dogs struggling with reactivity, fear, resource guarding, or adjusting to life changes such as moving into a new home (e.g., rescue dogs). These behaviours often stem from past experiences, trauma, or lack of early socialisation. Using science-based, force-free dog training methods, I help build confidence, create positive associations, and reinforce desirable behaviours for lasting success. Whether your dog is reactive, nervous, or adjusting, I provide tailored training strategies for a calmer, more secure companion.
