Behaviour rehabilitation
When your dog struggles with fear, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions, behaviour issues like reactivity or aggression can arise. This makes everyday life harder for both of you.
At DogNerd, I specialise in helping dogs work through these big feelings. My personalised coaching programs are designed to address your dog’s unique needs, whether it’s fear, anxiety, or other emotional triggers.
Together, we’ll build a deeper understanding of your dog’s behaviour, and create a plan to help them feel safer, calmer, and more confident. You’ll receive practical support and guidance every step of the way, so you can strengthen your bond and help your dog thrive.
