Why Choose Longevity Dog Training?
Every dog is an individual
Ethical, effective methods
I believe dogs learn best when they feel safe and motivated. Using force free, science backed training, I teach dogs to work with us - not because their afraid to make a mistake, but because the enjoy learning.
I know that every dog learn differently. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand your dog’s personality, breed and motivations so training work with them, not against them.
Building a lasting bond
Training for real life
My aim isn’t just teaching simple obedience and dispensing treats.
It is to help you understand you dog, communicate clearly and build a relationship based on trust that lasts.
Training should make everyday life easier, not just in a training class. That’s why I focus on teaching essential skills in the places you actually walk your dog, so you can successfully apply it to your life.

Before founding Longevity Dog Training, I spent five years working professionally with dogs at a five star boarding kennels, training dogs in residential programs. During that time I worked with hundreds of dogs from a wide range of breeds, backgrounds and behavioral challenges.
Working in such a demanding environment taught me to quickly assess each dog’s individual needs, adapt my approach and build bonds and motivation through reward based training.
Across my career, I’ve worked with over 450 dogs and dedicated more than 10,000 hours to practical training, behaviour development and continuing professional education.
Today, I combine that experience with a personalised approach, helping owners better understand their dogs, teaching practical skills and build lasting relationships based on trust and clear communication.

Every dog (and owner) is an individual, which is why I don’t take a cookie-cutter approach to training.
Whilst I love to work with dogs of all breeds, I have a particular passion for high energy dogs and Bull Breeds. Understanding what a dog was originally bred to do - and what motivates them as an individual - allows me to create a training plan that works with their natural instincts rather than trying to suppress it.
I don’t just teach dogs new behaviours - I help owners understand why those behaviours happen in the first place.
Whether your goal is calmer walks, reliable recall, building confidence or overcoming behavioural challenges, my aim is to help you understand your dog, teach them lasting skills and channel their energy productively so that you can enjoy your life together.

Dog training is currently an unregulated industry, which means anyone can call themselves a trainer without holding any formal qualifications or demonstrating their knowledge.
For me, professional development is about far more than collecting certificates. By gaining recognised qualifications, maintaining membership with professional organisations and committing to ongoing CPD, I hold myself to high ethical and professional standards.
This ensures my training remain science-backed and up to date, giving you confidence that you’re working with someone who is dedicated to providing the very best support for you and your dog.

I don’t believe in forcing dogs to comply - our dog’s deserve better.
I believe in helping dogs understand us and teaching them the skills to navigate our human world - as well as helping owners understand their dogs.
By building motivation, creating a clear communication and trust, we can create lasting change that improves life for both ends of the lead.
