I'm Cathy, a qualified, games-based dog trainer helping owners right here in Epsom.
A tailored plan for your unique dog
If you’re struggling with a specific challenge or just want a truly personalised training plan, my One-to-One sessions are the perfect solution.
The best part? I come to you. We can work in your home, garden, or even in your local park, like Epsom Common or Nonsuch Park.
Private training is perfect for tackling all kinds of challenges
From adolescent chaos to rescue dog anxieties. We can focus on:
Loose-Lead Walking: Imagine walking calmly through Epsom town centre without your arm being pulled.
Reliable Recall: Building a fast, fun recall, even with the distractions at Epsom Downs.
Adolescent Struggles: Navigating the “teenage phase” with positive, effective games.
Rescue Dog Support: Building trust and confidence at your new dog’s pace.
My entire approach is built on modern, fun, and effective games that strengthen your bond and get real-world results.

Calmed down the barking
…slowly but surely Reilly has stopped barking at the door. He would literally go berserk if anyone was near our door and now it’s a calm and quiet household.
