Personalised Behaviour and Training Support For Your Dog
It can be frustrating, stressful and even embarrassing when your dog is barking, growling or lunging at other dogs. It’s tough when it feels like nothing you try is making a difference.
Do you constantly find yourself managing your dog’s behaviour?
Are setbacks leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next?
Whatever the problem, don't worry - I'm here to help.
Every dog is unique, with their own personality, experiences, and challenges.
Whether your dog is fearful, anxious, frustrated, or reactive, I’ll create a behaviour plan tailored to their unique needs.
I'll help you understand your dog’s behaviour, so you can approach challenges with confidence and ease.
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why I design a personalised plan that’s compassionate, effective, and helps you and your dog make lasting progress.
Tailored Support for Lasting Change
Each plan is carefully designed to navigate behavioural challenges and create meaningful, long-term change in both your lives.
You’ll receive professional guidance and practical strategies to build the best life together. My advice is always kind, non-judgmental, and prioritises your dog’s emotional well-being and behavioural needs.
You’re not in this alone — I'm here to help.

What Clients Are Saying!
"Sonia is amazing. She deeply deeply cares about dogs and will give her all when helping us guardians with our pups. At the forefront of everything Sonia does is the welfare and wellbeing, emotional and physical, of the dog. I highly recommend Confident Canine!" E&W
"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

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
Answers to your most common questions
1. How long will it take to see results?
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.
2. What happens if I’m not seeing progress?
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.
3. Can I still receive support after our consultation?
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.
4. How do I know if this approach is right for my dog?
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.
5. What if I’m not sure how to implement the plan?
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.
6. What is your approach to behaviour support?
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.
