Hello, my name is Aliyah, I am 24 and started working with dogs the moment I finished school in 2018. I started with dog walking, and naturally, this passion to help dogs live a fulfilling life grew and led me to become a certified trainer. I got my first dog at age 9 (my soul dog, a Cavoodle named Spike), and now have two beautiful English Staffies named Nala and Luna as well.

I have a deep love of helping dogs and humans achieve harmony by teaching skills that foster a balanced relationship. By guiding owners to understand their dogs’ needs, communication styles, personalities, sensitivities, preferences, and pack roles, I aim to create a deeper connection that leads to long-term success.

My approach focuses on identifying the root causes of behavioural issues rather than just managing or controlling behaviours through commands or corrections. This means addressing the underlying emotions such as excitement, fear, frustration or anxiety, rather than simply suppressing them. The goal is to transform the relationship dynamics to create a positive environment where the dog feels understood and secure.

By shifting the focus from strict obedience to fostering a strong bond, owners can help their dogs make better choices based on trust and a sense of safety. This approach allows the dog to have more freedom to express themselves, reducing the need for forceful control or constant tension. Ultimately, this leads to a healthier and more joyful relationship between dogs and their owners.
