Confident Canine Behavioural Consultations

Is your dog barking and lunging at other dogs or people, leaving you feeling stressed and unsure of how to help?

Are you frustrated by setbacks or worried that nothing seems to be working?

Do you constantly feel like you are managing your dog’s behaviour?

Have you tried everything and nothing seems to be helping?

When nothing seems to work, the right support can make all the difference.

When your dog is barking and lunging at other dogs and people, it can feel frustrating, overwhelming, and isolating. You want the best for your dog, but knowing where to start can be difficult.

You are not alone. I am here to support both ends of the lead, guiding you and your dog through the process of understanding and navigating daily struggles.

I offer flexible packages designed to guide and support you every step of the way.

A relationship built on trust and understanding

These behaviour packages are not about offering a quick fix to your dog’s challenges; they are about helping you build a lifelong, trusting relationship that enables you both to live a rewarding life together.

My approach is holistic, empathetic, and compassionate, designed to support both you and your dog every step of the way.

No two dogs are the same

Every dog is unique, with their own personality, experiences, and challenges. Whether your dog is fearful, anxious, reactive, or has experienced trauma, the behaviour plan I create is specifically designed to meet their needs. I will help you better understand your dog’s behaviour, so you can approach challenges with empathy and confidence.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I create a behaviour plan that supports both you and your dog, ensuring an approach that is both compassionate and effective.

Choose the right behaviour support package for you

No matter which plan you choose, you are investing in a personalised approach designed to meet your dog’s unique needs. Each plan is carefully designed to navigate behavioural problems and create a meaningful, lasting difference in both your lives.

You will receive expert guidance and actionable strategies to help you and your dog create the best possible life together.

You can expect empathetic, non-judgmental advice that prioritises your dog’s emotional well-being and behavioural needs.

Not sure which plan is right for you? Get in contact

Choosing the right support plan for you and your dog is an important decision. If you are unsure which option best suits your dog’s needs or have any questions about the packages, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Together, we can discuss your dog’s unique challenges and find the best behavioural package to support you and your dog.

"Sonia is very knowledgeable about all things related to our canine companions. Her enthusiasm and energy are infectious and I have learnt so much from her. My dog and I have developed a really special bond and I put so much of that down to working with Sonia and taking part in a variety of different Challenges and Quests that can be found on The Hub. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sonia and Confident Canine." V&J

Answers to your most common questions

Every dog is unique, and the time it takes to see progress can vary. Some dogs may start showing positive changes straight away, while others may need more time. The key is that we’ll work at a pace that suits your dog, ensuring they feel safe and supported throughout the process. The aim is to make gradual, lasting improvements, not quick fixes.

It is completely normal for dogs to take time to adjust, and each dog progresses at their own pace. If you feel that your dog isn’t responding as you would have hoped, don’t worry, I’ll be here to support you every step of the way. We’ll reassess the plan together and make any necessary adjustments. Progress can be gradual, and small steps forward are still progress. Rest assured, we’ll continue working at a pace that feels comfortable for both you and your dog.

Yes, absolutely! Your support doesn’t stop after our consultation. You’ll have the option to book additional behavioural sessions at a discounted rate, should you need further guidance. Plus, as part of the Confident Canine Hub, you’ll be part of a supportive community where you can share experiences, ask questions, and continue receiving advice to help you and your dog progress together.

This approach is designed to meet your dog exactly where they are, respecting their individual pace and needs. I use kind, science-based methods that create trust and understanding, ensuring that both you and your dog feel supported throughout the process. If you have any concerns or uncertainties, we can discuss them beforehand to ensure this is the right fit for you and your dog.

I understand that implementing a behaviour plan can feel overwhelming at times. That’s why I’m here to guide you through every step. The plan will be clear and easy to follow, and I’ll be available for support whenever you need it. You're never alone in this process; we’ll go at a pace that works for you and your dog.

My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and reward-based techniques. I prioritise your dog’s overall wellbeing, addressing their emotional, mental, and physical needs with a rewarding and compassionate approach. I work at your dog’s pace, respecting their individual needs, and use methods that build trust, confidence, and a deeper connection between you and your dog. Instead of offering quick fixes, I aim to create lasting, meaningful changes that strengthens your relationship, ensuring both you and your dog feel safe, supported, and understood throughout the process.

“Following the last of our 4 consultations Adam and I wanted to reach out to say how much we, and Fergus, have gained from your help, expertise, and support. We have really appreciated the time you have taken to get to know us and Fergus in order to put together a bespoke training plan and resources, as well as helping us understand how to get the most from them.” M&F
