"Having spoken to numerous trainers, dog walkers, vets and other ‘experts’ in the dog world, Karolina was the only one who seemed to really understand the issues we were having. She picked up on things others had not, which resulted in a huge behaviour change in our dog. Karolina has a calm and measured approach and she is very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her!" - Sue & Otto
You don't have to do it alone
Having a dog that barks, snaps or bites is scary and embarrassing. You imagined an easy going life, but instead your dog drags you on lead, lunges at dogs, and doesn't listen. Maybe your dog is too afraid to even leave the house. I specialise in helping dogs and their humans overcome and prevent behaviour challenges such as aggression, anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. My holistic approach focuses on understanding your dog’s needs, building trust, and creating long lasting change. I also support families with everyday skills like calm lead walking, reliable recall, and settling into home life, all through kind, science based methods that strengthen your bond and don't compromise welfare.

"Karolina is the best trainer we're had"
"I have a nervous Romanian rescue who at times has even struggled to leave the home, and Karolina's guidance has been invaluable in building up his confidence. He's nervous of new people but took to her immediately, and she has an incredible understanding of dog behaviour and body language. Her detailed follow-up documents go above and beyond and she's so supportive of me as a human, which is something I've not always experienced with other trainers. Cannot recommend Karolina enough!"

"Karolina has been working with my puppy and I for a month now and the differences are really showing. Her patient and consistent training advice and tips are invaluable and she is so enthusiastic and dedicated to her job. I can ask for help or advice any time and she is here for me and my puppy. I can 110% recommend Karolina, my puppy is a rescue and is anxious and reactive but Karolina knows exactly what to do"
- Amy & Titch
"Karolina has been a fabulous force of confidence for us whilst supporting our incredibly nervous rescue dog. Her techniques are kind and have enabled us to start to build a solid base. She is always available with endless patience and guidance to help us. We would not be where we are now without her help and would recommend her for people wanting a gentle and calm approach to their training."
- Laura & Bobbie
"I will recommend Karolina to absolutely anyone that needs help with a dog. She is so extremely knowledgeable, patient and caring. I’m so happy I found her. She gave us such detailed report after her visit with tips and tricks to help us with our rescue dog, plus she’s always available for any help needed afterwards. I couldn’t wish for a better trainer."

"Karolina has been amazing in helping me and my dog! I went to her to help me with some recall, distraction and anxiety issues. Karolina has such a calm and kind approach and her training technique is all about positive reinforcement and making the training fun and exciting for your dog. Building a stronger bond with your dog so they look to you for guidance. I will definitely be booking more sessions as I practice the techniques she has shown me. Already I have noticed such a difference on my dog walks, as Gamba's engagement with me has increased so much. I would reccomended her to anyone."
- Dylan & Gamba
"Karolina has been such a help with our two rescue dogs, including one who is an extremely fearful ex-street dog. Her expertise in dog behaviour, especially with foreign rescues, has been invaluable. She is kind and helpful and provides thorough behaviour reports and practical guidance. We really appreciate having her there to help with new challenges that arise. We couldn’t recommend her more highly for anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable dog behaviourist and trainer."
- Tanya & Nellie
"Karolina was incredible. We had a two hour consultation where she went through our dog’s history in great detail, helping us understand his behaviour. Most importantly she recommended we see a pain specialist as she noticed behaviour that indicated he might be in pain. She was bang on the money and it turns out our happy, excitable dog has actually been experiencing sciatica pain! We’re now able to get him the treatment he needs which means we’re all much happier."
- Jemma & Winston
"We have now sought Karolina’s support with 3 of our dogs and find her to be amazing! She listens and observes carefully, is so knowledgeable and kind and she provides comprehensive, practical advice which is easy to understand and follow. Everything is explained thoroughly and/or demonstrated and Karolina follows up regularly re: progress made. Nothing is too much trouble or question too small.
We wholeheartedly recommend Karolina!"
- Linda & Gary
"Karolina's consultation and training plan was extremely useful and using the techniques made an immediate difference to our dogs experience when out on a walk. It was reassuring to see that Karolina understood the differences between breeds and recognised traits specific to sighthounds. Karolina provided a detailed report after the consultation that we frequently refer back to. We now look forward to going out with our dog. "
- Annette & Sonny

"I highly recommend Karolina if you need behavioural help with your dog. She is brilliant at what she does and has helped so much with our dog. We have a dog with reactivity challenges and she has helped us understand what’s happening with the behaviours and why and to implement a plan to work on improving his emotions around triggers. She is kind, compassionate and ethical and would recommend her to anyone who is needing behavioural help with their dog."
