Two dogs. One household. Twice the challenge... but twice the reward when things start to click and life gets easier.

Over the past year, I've been working with a number of two dog households, often with two adolescent dogs, who've developed a range of behaviours that were making daily life stressful and exhausting.

🚪 Territorial barking at the front door

🐕 Reactivity on walks

🦮 Pulling on the lead

🧹 Hoover attacks (see video with Bully X duo!)

🏠 Over-excitement and lack of boundaries in the home

Like many, these owners had tried their best but felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice and confused by social media tips. The reality is that every dog is different, and every household is different too.

That's why my training takes place where life actually happens: in your home, on your walks, and in your neighbourhood.

Whether you have a Bully mix, a Poodle, a Mini-Dachshund, a Cockapoo, or anything in between, my 1-1 coaching is tailored to your dog's personality, your goals, and the challenges you're facing right now.

Alongside in-person sessions, my clients receive Google Meet calls, daily WhatsApp support for questions and troubleshooting, plus short training videos to help keep progress moving between sessions.

Many owners tell me this level of support feels far more effective than group classes, board-and-train programmes, or relying on social media advice that often leaves them more confused than when they started.

If you're living with a troublesome teenage dog and every day feels like a battle of barking, pulling, reactivity, or chaos, please know there is a way forward.

🐾 Because life with your dog should feel enjoyable, not exhausting.👍

Dog owners who have been disappointed with training tried previously, often wonder, 'Can it be any different?', 'Is my dog untrainable?', or 'Will it be worth the money - will we see results?' Fair enough. I received the message below tonight - these are the results after just one week!😄

If you've been struggling, feeling fed-up and frustrated - what are you waiting for? If you would rather be crying happy tears than tearing your hair out in frustration - drop me a dm or book a free assessment call via the link in my bio. I can get things on track with you and your dog too! See pics of some current client dogs below!😍

Tiny teen, 9 month-old Bonnie, was pulling on the lead, tuning Mum out, and leaning into her “I’ll do what I want phase”.😂
In our first session, we worked on some impulse control at doorways and started loose lead walking practice in the garden, rather than outside - where you try and do it and fail due to all the distractions!😜

Making training fun for the dog is my core aim, so we got busy with tug play, which Bonnie adores! Adolescence doesn’t have to become chaos - if your teen dog is making walks stressful, click the link in my bio and book a free call.

Over the past year, around 80% of the dogs I have worked with have been between six months and two years old. Not puppies anymore, but not quite fully grown either. Smack in the middle of the phase that nobody really warns you about – teenage tearaways – aka, adolescence.

It is by far the most common reason owners reach out to me, and the most common reason people start wondering whether they have somehow failed their dog. The SIT command that used to work has vanished. The wild jumping around is back and leash manners have gone out the window. And the young dog who seemed to be doing well a few months ago now tests your boundaries and your patience every day.

You have not failed. Your dog's brain is under construction, and that changes everything about how you need to approach training right now. It does get better. But how you handle this period makes a real difference to what comes next.

PS. Dog in the pic is Bowser – a Tearaway legend who drove his living mother mad with his wild antics until we started training and he learned some new skills. See vids below for his recall, down and fetch!

🐾 "She's reacting because she's worried, not because she's naughty."

When Ellie and Jacob contacted me about their 1-year-old Cockapoo, Maple, they were struggling with barking, pulling on the lead, reactivity towards other dogs, sensitivity to handling and a fear of the hoover.

What I saw wasn't a stubborn dog.

I saw a young dog lacking confidence.

So instead of simply trying to stop the behaviours, we focused on building confidence through structured guidance, play, engagement exercises and helping Maple learn to navigate the world more calmly.

The results have been fantastic.

On our latest session in a busy area of Lincoln, Maple walked calmly past several dogs without reacting—a huge achievement for a dog who previously struggled from over 20 metres away.

Every adolescent dog is different. That's why there is no one-size-fits-all training programme.

I work with you in your home, your neighbourhood and the environments where your challenges actually happen, providing tailored support, training plans and video guidance between sessions.

If your dog is barking, pulling, reacting, struggling with confidence or making walks stressful, don't wait for them to "grow out of it."
