I am Elena, a dog trainer, and lover. Growing up, I always had a connection with animals, specifically the canine variety. It didn’t occur to me until much later in life that I could turn this passion into a career. I worked in the Security field for many years but a few years ago a small, scruffy pup called Ty came into my life and turned it upside down, inspiring me to retrain as a dog trainer and behaviour consultant. That is how my journey began.
My deep desire to understand my own pup’s needs and be a better companion for him, has since evolved into a passion to assist fellow dog owners in forging profound connections with their beloved pets, and ultimately enhancing their quality of life. Fast forward a few years, I am now a qualified trainer, I have completed a Level 4 certification in Dog Behaviour and working towards a formal qualification as a dog behaviourist! No matter the issues you and your pet are facing, know that you are not alone, and with a little bit of help there is a lot you can do to restore the joy in your relationship with your dog.
With my dedication to positive reinforcement and reward-based training methods, I am committed to sharing my expertise with you. Even if you have previously employed alternative approaches that you believe to be effective, I am more than happy to work with you and your dog, demonstrating the transformative power of positive reinforcement in building a positive and trusting bond.
To provide ongoing support, I will aim to regularly post practical video tips on my website and social media, covering topics such as dog body language, enrichment, training tips and more. If you find value in my complimentary advice, I warmly welcome contributions to my fundraising page. Every donation goes directly towards supporting a cause that holds a special place in my heart.
