Working to improve the welfare of street dogs worldwide
If you need help with a dog, whether on the street, in the shelter, or in your home, you have come to the right place.
I am a qualified and accredited canine behaviourist, with a decade of experience and expertise in dog behaviour.
I use ethical methods founded in science to build harmonious relationships between dogs and people.
Services
Puppy foundation training
The most important thing you can do for your puppy is set him up for a lifetime of success with foundation training. I’m attuned to spot potentional behavioural problems early on, putting in preventative measures and saving you greater financial and emotional cost further down the line
New adopters
I can help you prepare for your new arrival, giving you the extra support your street dog needs to be able to adapt to life in a home with you
Behaviourial problems
I work with dogs struggling with some of the most difficult to resolve behaviour problems such as separation anxiety or reactivity
Trauma-informed care
I use a trauma-informed therapeutic approach for dogs who need specialist care to recover from abuse or neglect
Shelter management
I advise shelters around the world on how to improve the welfare of dogs in their care, and improve strategic management from intake to adoption
Dogs and children
Whether welcoming a dog into your family, or introducing a new baby to your existing dog, it’s so important to get off to a good start
What people say about me
PAWS Shelter, Greece
Alexandra Levy, Manager
“When Noya and I met with you at the shelter, we were beyond impressed with how 1-2 days of your therapeutic techniques had transformed Ares from a shockingly traumatised dog to a dog that could be pet and stroked for the probably first time in his life.
In all the visits we made to the shelter in the last year and a half, I had only ever seen Ares pacing in circles non-stop, literally running laps in his kennel. So I was astonished to see him sitting next to you, feeling relaxed and safe enough to receive affection.
I'm very happy to say that Ares has changed dramatically in the last 6 months, to such a degree that he goes for regular walks with the volunteers and other dogs and we are now promoting his adoption with our rehoming partners in Germany”.
Sia Foundation, Guatemala
Luis Guarez
“Your consultancy work with us has left our staff and volunteers feeling inspired and motivated. We have learnt so much from you about easy ways to implement in-shelter enrichment and positive behaviour protocols, and the difference in the dogs is huge. The shelter is a calm and joyful place these days, with lots of play time and socialisation for the dogs. The programme you devised for preparing our dogs for life in a home, and the rehoming partners you established with us, means many of our dogs are now adopted. Our dogs - and our staff! - are happier thanks to you.”
Adopter of Bertie
Hannah Torton
“I can’t thank you enough for your help in transforming Bertie from a shut down dog, too scared to come out from under my kitchen table, to my best friend who never seems to stop wagging his tail. You not only have a huge amount of knowledge and experience, but you have been kind, patient and supportive, always on hand for any worries I had and reassuring me throughout. In those difficult early days you gave us light at the end of the tunnel. I understand so much about Bertie now and our bond is so strong thanks to you.”
