Understanding Behaviour Differently
Many behaviour concerns don’t begin with disobedience. More often they begin with physical discomfort, anxiety, confusion or mixed messages.
You may have searched for “dog training”, and what you and your dog need might be something kinder: calm, relationship-focused guidance that supports you both. I look beyond the behaviour you can see to what may be behind it, including stress, environment, nutrition, comfort and clear, consistent boundaries.
This isn’t about control. It’s about communication, trust and balance. If your dog’s behaviour has changed suddenly, a check with your vet is a sensible first step.
What I look at
-
Nutrition and digestion
-
Physical comfort and mobility
-
Stress and emotional wellbeing
-
Daily routine and environment
-
The relationship between you and your dog

TESTIMONIALS
Toni’s training courses are always very informative and fun. Toni advised me to put my dog on a raw diet. The change was instant and remarkable. My dog is very much calmer and her coat is gleaming.
Mrs L, Herstmonceux, East Sussex
Such a wonderful experience! My dog loves coming to training and Toni always welcomes him, even if he is a little bit naughty sometimes. Toni helps me in not only the basic training but helps me out of bad habits too! I'm glad to have found her and be able to keep coming back for more training and learning!

Toni is a very knowledgeable trainer. My dog has been very alert and engaged during the training sessions and his behavior has improved. Toni has a wealth of information about diet and how that affects the dogs behaviour.

“ Lillie is adorable but somewhat of a pickle" I often joke by saying “don’t be fooled by the cuteness"
In my love for her & quest to be kind, I’m too soft and have absolutely no boundaries in place which has led to a lot of behaviour issues due to her lack of feeling secure.
I called in the help of Toni, who explained what the issue was and back to basics we went with some simple bit affective tasks to practise. Within a couple of days I was able to walk locally without her pulling or dropping to the floor when she saw another dog.
Ms K, East Sussex
I found Toni on Facebook after rescuing our 2 year old bulldog, we have had some group training and privates and she is soo patient with him! If it wasn't for Toni helping me and teaching me, my dog would be an absolute brute! We also found a lot of his energetic behaviour was to do with his diet and she's helped me get him on a good diet that has really calmed him down.
