Behaviour Modification

Help your dog overcome behavioural challenges with personalised, science-based training that creates lasting change.

If your dog is barking excessively, lunging at other dogs, chasing cyclists, struggling with separation anxiety, guarding food or toys, or reacting fearfully to everyday situations, you're not alone. These behaviours are often symptoms of an underlying emotional state rather than signs of a "stubborn" or "dominant" dog.

As a qualified dog behaviourist, I look beyond the behaviour itself to understand why it's happening. Every training plan is tailored to your dog's breed, age, history, environment, and individual personality. Rather than relying on punishment or quick fixes, I use ethical, science-based methods that help your dog feel calmer, more confident, and able to make better choices.

Behaviour modification can help with:

• Reactivity towards other dogs or people
• Separation anxiety and isolation distress
• Excessive barking
• Resource guarding
• Fear and anxiety
• Chasing cars, cyclists or wildlife
• Noise sensitivities
• Puppy behavioural problems that are becoming established
• Confidence building for nervous dogs

Whether we work together in Madrid or through online dog behaviour consultations, you'll receive a structured training plan, practical exercises, ongoing support, and guidance tailored to your lifestyle. My aim is to create real, long-term behavioural change that improves everyday life for both you and your dog.

Puppy Training and Behaviour Foundations

Give your puppy the best possible start with personalised, science-based training that builds confidence, good habits, and a lifelong bond.

The first few months of a puppy's life are the most important for shaping future behaviour. Early training isn't just about teaching commands—it's about helping your puppy learn how to cope with the world, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to become a calm, well-adjusted adult dog.

I work with new puppy owners to prevent common behavioural problems before they become lifelong habits. Every programme is tailored to your puppy's breed, age, temperament, and your family's lifestyle.

Together, we'll cover essential foundations such as:

• Toilet training
• Puppy biting and mouthing
• Crate training
• Sleeping through the night
• Preventing separation anxiety
• Socialisation and confidence building
• Name recognition and focus
• Recall training
• Loose leash walking
• Impulse control
• Settling calmly at home
• Basic obedience, including sit, down, stay, leave it, and place

Rather than overwhelming you with conflicting advice, you'll receive a clear, step-by-step training plan that's easy to follow and designed to fit into everyday life. You'll also receive ongoing support between sessions, so you'll always know what to do as your puppy develops and new challenges arise.

Whether you're welcoming your first puppy or raising a new addition to the family, my goal is to help you build a confident, well-mannered dog using kind, effective, and reward-based methods.

Obedience Training

Build reliable everyday skills that help you and your dog enjoy life together with confidence.

A well-trained dog isn't one that simply follows commands—it's a dog that understands how to make good choices in everyday situations. Whether you're struggling with pulling on the lead, unreliable recall, jumping up at visitors, or a dog that won't listen when distractions are around, personalised obedience training can make daily life calmer and far more enjoyable.

I create tailored training programmes based on your dog's age, breed, personality, and learning style. Every exercise is designed to build clear communication, strengthen your relationship, and develop reliable behaviours that work in real-life environments—not just in the living room.

Training can include:

• Loose leash walking
• Reliable recall
• Sit, down and stay
• 'Leave it' and 'Drop it'
• 'Place' training
• Greeting people calmly
• Impulse control
• Focus and engagement around distractions
• Polite behaviour around other dogs and people
• Building confidence in new environments

Using positive, science-based training methods, we'll progress at your dog's pace while giving you the knowledge and confidence to continue training between sessions. You'll receive personalised exercises, practical guidance, and ongoing support to help you achieve lasting results.

Whether your goal is a dog that walks politely through busy streets, comes back when called in the park, or simply listens more reliably at home, training is designed to fit your lifestyle and create behaviours that last.
