My ethics and how I work
Please read fully and indicate that you have read and understand the following:
I'm a Certified Dog Trainer. As a Graduate of the Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Academy, and a supporting member of the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter, I believe that animals should be treated with kindness and respect. I work with like-minded people who love their dogs and don't want to harm them. I don't use methods or tools which aim to scare, hurt, intimidate or bully a dog into conforming to human will - my aim is to help build a happy, trusting relationship between humans and dogs, and I will always advocate for the dog

How I train
Please read fully and indicate that you are happy to agree with the following:
If we're training, I'll show you how to use the things your dog likes as a reward for behaviour that we like. This is called 'positive reinforcement' - it's very effective when done correctly. We will always work within the parameters of your dog's physical and emotional welfare. I will provide you with fun and effective ideas as to how you can meet your dog's needs for a more content and comfortable home life.

About my sitting service
Please read fully and indicate that you are happy to agree with the following:
If I'm sitting for you, respectfully, I require hygienic, clean & reasonably tidy living areas that are comfortable for both myself and your dog. I'll keep your home as I find it, treating your property and privacy with utmost respect.

Equipment I use
Please read fully and indicate that you are happy to agree with the following:
I won't use choke or prong collars, any type of e-collar, or any other piece of aversive equipment. I ask that you provide and use a flat collar and/or harness instead. If you do currently use any aversives and are happy to change, please, don't panic and abandon this form - I will show you how to use non-aversive alternatives safely and effectively, and will ask you to use them instead going forward.
