A well-trained dog brings joy — but getting there isn’t always easy.
That’s where the right professional support makes all the difference.
Our goal is to help you build a relationship with your dog rooted in mutual respect, trust, and understanding. We provide a tailored training plan and practical support that set you and your dog up for long-term success in real world situations.
We use force-free, reward-based methods, focusing on what motivates your dog and what matters to you. Together, we’ll work toward your goals to build a partnership you and your dog can both enjoy — for life.

We’ll schedule sessions that fit your lifestyle. 121 training is available Mon to Fri, 8am to 7pm. The location will be based on your dog’s needs, with most first sessions taking place at your home so we can observe your dog in its usual environment.
With your customized training plan and unlimited support from your trainer, you’ll be able to get started towards success! As we work, we will be reassessing your plan to make sure it continues to be the best plan for you to see real, lasting results.
We found Barnaby is simply amazing. Knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic, thoughtful and always had a solution for every challenge we encountered. We had home 1-2-1 puppy training for our Italian Greyhound, Roman. We had previously done group puppy training with another dog and so had a loose idea of what puppy training involved but with Barnaby it was a much more in-depth, personalised training with perfect sessions tailored to our breed of dog and his growing strong personality. We would highly recommend Barnaby. Roman is now 8 months old, able to stay at home alone, walks on the lead wonderfully and has a great recall. He is a really confident little chap and we feel that is largely down to his great start and training. We can not wait to keep learning and helping our boys to live their best life!
I can’t recommend Barnaby enough. He really helped us with Blue, our bouncy one year old Labrador during a stressful time during lockdown. Despite being experienced dog owners we were finding walks extremely stressful. Barnaby took the time to really understand the issues we were having regarding poor recall, jumping up and the occasional nipping of bottoms. He gave us simple but effective strategies that we started to see results from within a couple of days. During our sessions he gave us clear instructions verbally and via email so we had those to refer back to plus extra tips to try with Blue. Barnaby is very knowledgeable and clearly loves and understands dogs. He is also good with people and delivers his training with warmth and good humour.
To achieve progress a step by step approach is used to ensure consistency over time.
We use suitable environments to help develop the dogs skills, gradually building
distractions to get the dog to achieve progress in all situations.
We provide unlimited access to send questions, comments and updates to our trainer. This
aids the process and ensures we keep you on track over time to achieve your training goals.
