About me
Understanding Your Animals
Passionate. Patient. Persistent. Pet-lover. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. I know each animal is different, and I’ll work with yours to give them the specific guidance they need. Whether you’re thinking about getting an animal, have a new pet, or already own a pet with behavioural problems, I am here to help.
Walking on the lead
Dog pulling, sniffing and ignoring you?
My Dog Walking work involves an intimate understanding of your animal’s natural and individual history. Your pet has plenty of potential to learn and understand commands, and my techniques will lay the foundation for you to build upon. I combine your needs and wants with the natural attributes of your pet.
Aggression
Worried your dog is dangerous?
Aggression in dogs is often due to nervousness and fear. Â I will offer a professional and experienced consultation on the causes of your dog's aggressive behaviour and work with you to find solutions that work for the whole household.
A personalised service in your home
Accommodating Your Lifestyle
If your dog needs help with a specific physical or behavioural issue, a home visit from K-9 Behaviour Solutions may be a great option for you, and will be will be followed up with personalised plan/support to fit your pet’s needs, and your lifestyle.
Mr S, Kettering
I didn't know I had walk problems until they improved, many thanks.
This is Indies story
​
Indie is a GSD X, retired military protection dog. Retirement meant that she had a new home and new owner. She found it difficult adjusting to her new surroundings at a local RAF base, and bonding with her new owner seemed impossible.
Indie suffers from arthritic problems and severe seperation-anxiety, and 'flick of a switch' changes in her demeanor. Her new owner was determined to give her the best chances to help resolve her problems.
​
I was contacted after a couple of serious incidents which completely puzzled her owner.
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions in October the session took place in my own garden. Indie responded well to all the leadership challenges that we gave her. We fitted her with a head collar which she happily accepted, and then changed her diet.
They went away armed with enough information to continue the work at the base. Just 4 weeks later her behaviour has completely turned around. No seperation-anxiety, no aggression just a much happier contented dog.
Full credit to Indies new owners who have worked hard to help her overcome her difficulties. This has now resulted in a well earned happy retirement for Indie.

Lokis Story, by his owner
​
I was at my nerve's end with our rescue dog being destructive and biting people basically trying to rule our house, he wouldnt listen to direction or walk on a lead without trying to pull you into the road.
I contacted K9 Behaviour Solutions to see if they could help with anything to settle this loveable rescue dog down.
During Covid-19 things were tricky but we held a socially distanced behaviour session in the garden where the behaviourist observed the dog and started working with him straight away. Getting him to sit and stay within 15 minutes of seeing him. The tips and advice received was excellent along with guide sheets. If you follow the advice and stick to the routine this definitely does work.
After seeing how Loki walked on his harness and saying he was like a sled dog pulling me down the road the behaviourist fitted him with a head collar and short lead and the difference in the dog was instant, he no longer pulled and would walk alongside you. That afternoon I went out and purchased the recommended lead and head collar, it was the best £20 I had ever spent, and he is now such a joy to walk. Even my 9 year old son can walk him.
K9 Behaviour Solutions I really can't recommend enough, and i have actually referred two of my friends to them already.

Thank you so much
