Sian dog trainer in Derby

You’re not alone in your dog’s training journey.

Puppy & dog training can feel super overwhelming. There can be tears, questions - “have I made a really bad decision?!”, all the ups and downs, and everything in between.

I’m here to help make things feel easier, and ultimately to support you to transform your dog’s behaviour. So you won’t be chasing your distracted dog at the park.

Empathy & personalised support are my focus …

Sian Dog Walker Derby

Dog training, with award-winning results…

II’ll guide you through it all - whether it’s to stop them pulling on the lead, stop them getting super distracted by all the things, or to be a calm pup at the pub, I’ve got your back!

I’ve spent all the time, and the money, to build my knowledge, skills and experience based on tried and tested, science proven methods, so you don’t have to!

I’ve won multiple awards for my training, and have 5* reviews across the board!

    Sian

    BUSINESS OWNER & HEAD TRAINER

    I’m a lover of all things nature and animals.

    I’m lucky enough to have grown up surrounded by dogs - all who had their own little quirks (but don’t we all!?).

    I’m a certified dog trainer and am also certified in dog first aid. I have two lovely rescue lurchers who I talk about often, and two cockatiels (Coco’s joined me in the photo!). I’d have more animals if I could!

    A fun fact you might not know about me is that I can play the Cornet (brass instrument, not ice cream!) 🍦
