How I Can Help You,
I specialise in working with dogs facing a wide range of behavioral challenges, including reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, poor recall, and difficulty relaxing.
Together, we'll develop a personalised plan to help your dog feel more at ease, while giving you greater control. Through a combination of positive reinforcement techniques, we'll focus on identifying and addressing your dog's unique quirks, empowering you to manage them in everyday situations.
Meet Katie,
I’m Katie Burroughs, a highly experienced dog trainer and behaviorist with a deep passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. With a BSc in Animal Behaviour, I’ve applied my degree to gain extensive experience in various roles, including as Head Dog Trainer at Dogs Trust and Rehoming and Welfare coordinator at Battersea.
My dedication to dog training comes from my belief that every dog, no matter their past, deserves a fair chance to thrive. I focus on positive reinforcement and am committed to using encouragement to bring out the best in every dog I work with.
