Expert Dog Training Services in Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole

Professional training is the key to a happy, well-behaved dog. I specialise in shaping positive behaviours through modern, effective techniques that work. Whether you’re looking for foundational skills or advanced behaviour modification, my training covers the essentials:

Strong foundations lead to great adventures. My obedience training covers the essential "must-have" skills: Sit, Stay, Down, and Heel. Using positive reinforcement, we transform these cues into reliable habits. By teaching your dog to listen because they want to, we build the mutual respect and safety needed for a lifetime of companionship and ensure your dog is a welcome guest wherever you go.

There is no better feeling than watching your dog run free, with the safety you need. We will work together to turn your recall into a reliable, life-saving skill rooted in trust and engagement. By using fun, reward-based games, I ensure your dog chooses to return to you every single time, even around heavy distractions. Give your dog the freedom they deserve and the peace of mind you need.

Stop the "tug-of-war" and transform your walks into a calm, enjoyable experience. I will teach your dog to walk by your side with focus and clarity, even amidst the distractions of everyday environments. By using positive redirection, we eliminate pulling for good. This makes every outing stress-free, ensuring your walks together become a relaxing highlight rather than a physical struggle.

Does your dog struggle with excessive barking, separation anxiety, or fearfulness? Behaviour modification isn't just about stopping a "bad" habit; it’s about understanding the underlying emotion. Using gentle, science-led techniques like desensitization and positive reinforcement, I help your dog feel safer and more confident, replacing stress with calm, desirable choices.

Understanding the "Why" Behind the Behaviour

Does your dog struggle with excessive barking, separation anxiety, or fearfulness? Behaviour modification isn’t just about stopping a “bad” habit; it’s about understanding the underlying emotion. Using gentle, science-led techniques like desensitization and positive reinforcement, I help your dog feel safer and more confident, replacing stress with calm, desirable choices.
For dogs with high prey drive or those who struggle with "selective hearing" at a distance, I offer specialized training using modern remote collars. This is not about punishment; it’s about providing a clear, gentle "tap" or tone that cuts through the adrenaline of a chase. This acts as a reliable safety net, allowing your dog the freedom to explore while giving you the peace of mind that they will always check back in.

I focus on what your dog does right. By reinforcing good choices with rewards your dog actually cares about, we build a reliable foundation of manners and focus. This "force-free" method ensures your dog feels safe and motivated to learn, making it the perfect approach for everything from basic puppy skills to complex behaviour modification. It creates a happy dog and a bond built on trust.

We had a great experience with Doggie Dog dog training. Krisztina helped us understand how to improve Scooby’s lead walking and recall, and we’re already seeing progress as we put the techniques into practice. We just need to keep practising, especially around distractions. Krisztina was friendly, clear, and really supportive. Highly recommend!

Kristina has been absolutely brilliant. We would thoroughly recommend her. We started a 4 week training programme that was tailored to our 4 month old Vizslas needs. She is now a much better mannered, obedient puppy and we are continuing to use the training techniques to further improve her behaviour. We were given a summary as needed after each session and could always check in whenever needed via what’s app.

Shafi is fantastic dog trainer and could not rate her high enough. Neville had few issues when getting overexcited but within hours and few new commands its changed noticeably. She also suggested few game ideas to tire him out and they are fantastic and we have one very mentally stimulated dog.
