About

Hi, I’m Rowena, I have been working professionally with dogs since 2018.

I am a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer (VSA-CDT) with the industry renowned Victoria Stilwell Academy, graduating with a distinction in the course. Prior to VSA, I completed the Think Dog Certificate on Canine Behaviour and Training designed by clinical animal behaviourist Sarah Whitehead, another figurehead in the positive training community. I have recently completed Michael Shikashio’s (CDBC) master course on Aggression in Dogs and Sarah Fisher’s excellent ACE Freework two day practical workshop. 

I am often joined on appropriate training sessions by Jasper, my miniature schnauzer, a little dog with a big personality who has taught me so much about life as a dog guardian!

I specialize in helping puppies or dogs and their guardians navigate the world together. Underpinning all sessions is a focus on building mutual trust and confidence between human and dog, which are fundamental to learning and growth. Sessions are tailored according to the needs of each dog and the goals of their guardian.

I’m fully insured, pet first aid qualified and DBS/CRB checked.
