Hi, I'm Angela and I’m a professional dog trainer and behaviourist based in Bath, working with owners across the South West to solve real-life behaviour problems.I specialise in helping people who feel overwhelmed by their dog — whether that’s pulling on the lead, reactivity, over-excitement, or a dog that simply won’t settle at home. I also served for several years as the behaviourist for the Greyhound Trust South West. My focus is always the same: clear, practical training that works in everyday life.
My Approach
Training shouldn’t feel confusing or unrealistic.
I combine structured, fair guidance with reward-based training so your dog learns how to behave — not just how to respond in a training session. I focus on clear communication your dog understands, putting consistent boundaries in place without harshness, and reducing reliance on constant food rewards.
A big part of my work is helping dogs learn how to be calm, not just obedient. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s a dog you can actually live with and enjoy.
Real Life Experience
As well as my professional work, I manage a busy multi-dog household with working breeds, including a Belgian Malinois, a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a rescue Doberman, as well as two young children — all while living in a terraced home in the middle of the city!
I understand the reality of living with dogs in a busy environment. Training has to fit around family life, limited time, multiple dogs and real-world distractions. It’s rarely done in perfect conditions, and that’s exactly why everything I teach is designed to be practical, realistic and achievable.
Experience & Credentials
Alongside years of hands-on experience, I’ve built a strong professional background in dog training and behaviour. I have worked as a behaviourist for the Greyhound Trust South West for several years and am an ADTB-approved trainer. I am fully insured and have completed training with the Sirius® Dog Training Academy, founded by Dr Ian Dunbar.
I am also a member of the Dog Welfare Alliance and the Pet Professional Guild, and have been awarded Dog Trainer of the Year on multiple occasions, as well as Dog Training Company of the Year.
What Clients Often Say
Many of my clients come to me after trying multiple approaches that haven’t worked.
Clients often describe my training as clear, practical and highly effective, with many noticing a difference in their dog’s behaviour after just one session. People usually come to me feeling overwhelmed or frustrated, but leave with a much better understanding of their dog, a clear plan, and the confidence to handle situations calmly.
There are often noticeable improvements in lead walking, reactivity and behaviour at home, and the training feels realistic and easy to apply in everyday life. As a result, it’s not just the dog that changes — owners feel more relaxed and back in control as well.
Why Work With Me
If you’re looking for honest, straightforward advice, a clear plan tailored to your dog, and support that fits into your daily life, I can help you turn things around.
