The puppy stage is one of the most important periods in a dog’s life. With my Puppy Training qualification, I support puppies and their owners in building strong foundations that last a lifetime.

My approach is:

Positive and reward-based

Age-appropriate and gentle

Focused on emotional wellbeing as well as behaviour

Tailored to your puppy’s breed, personality, and home environment

Whether you need help with:

Toilet training

💚 Where little paws learn big skills — at every stage of life.

Canine Physiology And Anatomy

Understanding how a dog’s body works is just as important as understanding behaviour — and that’s exactly what my Canine Physiology & Anatomy qualification provides.

This in-depth training has given me a strong, evidence-based understanding of the structure and function of the canine body, allowing me to tailor training, enrichment, and wellness support safely and effectively for every dog I work with.

What this means for your dog 🐾

My knowledge of canine physiology and anatomy supports:

A clear understanding of the skeletal system, joints, and movement

Awareness of muscle groups, strength, balance, and physical development

Insight into body systems including circulation, respiration, and digestion

How the body and nervous system influence learning, behaviour, and responses

 Age-appropriate and breed-appropriate training and activity planning

Why this matters in training & wellbeing

Every dog’s body is different. Puppies, seniors, rescue dogs, and dogs with health considerations all need a carefully adapted approach. With a solid foundation in physiology and anatomy, I can:

Adjust training to suit your dog’s physical capabilities

Avoid unnecessary strain or discomfort

Support confidence, comfort, and long-term wellbeing

Work holistically alongside behaviour, nutrition, and lifestyle needs

A holistic, dog-centred approach 💚

This qualification complements my wider education in behaviour, nutrition, holistic health, massage, and therapy, ensuring your dog’s training and support plan is always:

✔️ Safe

✔️ Ethical

✔️ Individual

✔️ Based on science and welfare

Canine Nutrition Supporting Your Dog From the Inside Out

I hold a Canine Nutrition Diploma, allowing me to support dogs with tailored, evidence-based nutritional guidance that complements their training, behaviour and overall wellbeing.

Nutrition plays a vital role in your dog’s physical health, emotional balance and ability to learn. Poor diet choices can contribute to issues such as digestive upset, low energy, skin conditions, anxiety, poor focus and behavioural challenges.

My nutritional support is practical, realistic and personalised, helping owners make confident, informed choices that suit their dog, their lifestyle and their budget — without judgement or overwhelm.

I work alongside you to ensure nutrition supports:

Training progress

Behavioural balance

Digestive health

Skin & coat condition

Energy levels

Emotional wellbeing

This service fits seamlessly with my holistic, one-to-one, in-home support.

Canine Communication

Understanding Dogs Beyond Words.Dogs are constantly communicating with us — through their body language, facial expressions, posture, movement, and subtle behavioural signals. My Canine Communication Diploma has given me a deep, evidence-based understanding of how dogs express emotions, needs, stress, and comfort long before behaviour escalates.

This qualification allows me to read and interpret your dog’s communication accurately, helping me tailor training and support that truly works for your dog as an individual. By understanding what your dog is telling us, we can prevent misunderstandings, reduce anxiety, and build trust-based relationships that last.

Canine communication is at the heart of everything I do — from puppy training and behaviour support to confidence-building and holistic wellbeing. It enables me to work with your dog, not against them, creating calm, positive, and effective outcomes in your own home.

Canine Behaviour Support

I hold a Canine Behaviour Diploma, enabling me to support dogs and their owners through a wide range of behavioural challenges in a compassionate, ethical, and effective way.

Behaviour is a form of communication. What may appear as “problem behaviour” is often a sign of fear, anxiety, confusion, or unmet needs. My work focuses on identifying the underlying causes of behaviour and supporting long-term emotional wellbeing.

I can help with:

Reactivity towards dogs, people, or environments

Fear-based or anxious behaviours

Barking, lunging, pulling, or over-arousal

Behaviour changes following rescue, rehoming, or routine changes

Confidence building and emotional regulation

My approach is:

Fully force-free and reward-based

Tailored to your dog’s individual needs

Focused on emotional wellbeing as well as behaviour

Delivered in your home, where your dog feels safest

My aim is not just to change behaviour, but to help dogs and their families live calmer, happier, and more enhanced lives

Understanding Canine Anxiety

I hold a Diploma in Understanding Canine Anxiety, enabling me to support dogs who experience stress, fear, or emotional discomfort in their daily lives.

Anxiety in dogs can develop for many reasons, including separation, noise sensitivity, past experiences, changes in routine, or lack of confidence. It may present as pacing, vocalising, destructive behaviour, withdrawal, or heightened reactivity.

My work focuses on:

Identifying the underlying causes of anxiety

Supporting emotional regulation and calm

Building confidence through positive, reward-based methods

Creating bespoke plans suited to your dog’s individual needs

I take a holistic, compassionate approach, working at your dog’s pace and prioritising their wellbeing at every step. My aim is not just to manage behaviour, but to help your dog feel safer, more secure, and more confident in their world.

If you’re concerned about your dog’s anxiety or would like professional, understanding support, I’d be happy to help.

How do I know if my dog is anxious?

Signs of anxiety can include pacing, trembling, excessive barking or whining, destructive behaviour, withdrawal, toileting indoors, over-attachment, or heightened reactions to sounds, people, or other dogs. Anxiety isn’t always obvious and can be easily misunderstood as “bad behaviour”.

What causes canine anxiety?

Anxiety can develop for many reasons, including separation from owners, noise sensitivities, past experiences, lack of early socialisation, changes in routine, rehoming, illness, or genetic predisposition.

Is this the same as dog training?

This service focuses on your dog’s emotional wellbeing, not just obedience. While behaviour may improve as anxiety reduces, the primary goal is to help your dog feel safe, calm, and secure.

Do you use force-free methods?

Absolutely. All support is positive, reward-based, and fear-free. I never use aversive tools or methods that increase stress or anxiety.

Will this help rescue or rehomed dogs?

Yes. Anxiety support is particularly beneficial for rescue dogs who may have experienced trauma, instability, or sudden life changes.

How long does it take to see improvements?

Every dog is different. Some show small improvements quickly, while others need more time and ongoing support. Progress is always at your dog’s pace.

Can this work alongside vet or behaviourist support?

Yes. Anxiety support complements veterinary care and behaviour plans and can be part of a wider wellbeing approach.

Is this suitable for puppies?

Yes. Early support can prevent anxiety becoming ingrained and helps puppies build confidence from the start.

Canine and Holistic Health and Therapy

I am proud to hold a Canine Holistic Health & Therapy Diploma, allowing me to offer supportive, wellbeing-focused services that look at the whole dog — mind, body and lifestyle.

Holistic canine health considers how emotional wellbeing, physical comfort, environment, routine and nutrition all interact to influence a dog’s behaviour and quality of life. By taking this wider view, support can be gentle, balanced and truly individual.

This approach can be particularly helpful for:

Anxious, sensitive or emotionally overwhelmed dogs

Dogs experiencing stress or behavioural challenges

Senior dogs needing gentle wellbeing support

Dogs recovering from change, disruption or lifestyle adjustments

Dogs alongside positive, reward-based training plans

My holistic work is always dog-centred, ethical and compassionate, complementing training and behaviour support rather than replacing veterinary care. Every session is tailored to your dog’s individual needs, with their comfort and welfare always prioritised.

What is Canine Holistic Health & Therapy

Canine Holistic Health & Therapy looks at the whole dog, considering emotional wellbeing, physical comfort, lifestyle, environment, routine and nutrition. The aim is to support balance and overall wellbeing, rather than focusing on just one symptom or behaviour.

Is this a replacement for veterinary care?

No. Holistic support does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment. It works alongside veterinary care to support your dog’s overall wellbeing and comfort.

What types of dogs can benefit?

This approach can support:

Anxious or sensitive dogs

Dogs experiencing stress or emotional overwhelm

Dogs struggling with confidence

Senior dogs needing gentle wellbeing support

Dogs alongside training or behavioural support

What happens during a session?

Sessions are calm and tailored to your dog’s individual needs. I take time to understand your dog’s lifestyle, routine, emotional state and physical comfort, offering gentle, supportive techniques and guidance to promote balance and wellbeing.

Will this help with behaviour issues?

Holistic support can complement training and behaviour work by addressing underlying stress, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle factors that may influence behaviour.

Is the approach force-free and dog-led?

Yes. All sessions are gentle, ethical and dog-led, always respecting your dog’s comfort levels and emotional state.

Is this suitable for puppies or senior dogs?

Absolutely. Holistic support can be adapted for puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs, with sessions always tailored to age, health and individual needs.

Do you work alongside training plans?

Yes. Canine Holistic Health & Therapy works beautifully alongside positive, reward-based training, supporting your dog’s overall wellbeing.

Are you insured and DBS checked?

Yes. I am fully insured and Enhanced DBS checked, giving you complete peace of mind.

How do I know if this is right for my dog?

I’m always happy to chat. Please get in touch to discuss your dog’s needs and whether holistic support would be beneficial.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, empowered, and ready to learn. With Tiny Tails Dog Training Chester, you'll gain the knowledge and skills to build a stronger, more loving relationship with your dog.

Absolutely. Behaviour support can complement veterinary advice or other professional input and form part of a wider wellbeing plan.
