The Intricate Dog

Insight, Action, Better Behaviour


At The Intricate Dog, I help you move beyond frustration and confusion by uncovering what’s really driving your dog’s behaviour.


Behaviour isn’t just about obedience — it’s shaped by emotions, stress, lifestyle, and learning history.


My approach focuses on developing behavioural skills that influence everyday life —  rather than simply teaching cues in isolation.  I look at the whole dog to make real, lasting change possible. 


My aim is to provide clear guidance, practical exercises, and training that’s simple to understand and easy to implement, so you feel confident knowing:


  • Why your dog is behaving the way they are
  • What to do about it
  • How to make progress step by step


Training should feel engaging and rewarding - for both you and your dog - when you enjoy it, you do it more, see real change, and feel confident to keep going.


I offer private sessions and Zoom consultations, providing personalised support wherever you are, so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
