Andrea is a Dog Trainer and Dog Behavioural Specialist.

As a dog owner I tried all sorts of training methods in the past, probably like you. Some basic

training worked but when it came down to behavioural issues and hoping the dogs would listen, nothing worked!

 When we had a dog that barked a lot, who didn't want to be left at home alone either, well,

what could we have done to actually help him and gain his trust?  We were judged regarding his issues. I'm sure no one finds it pleasant being judged when your dog is struggling, especially when you are trying your best!  

If you had an easy going dog in the past but now your new companion has behavioural problems and you would like more help to understand  'why' your dog has unwanted behaviours and you want a long term solution, I can help.

If you are a first time dog owner or are thinking about bringing a new puppy home, I can help.

If you have a cute puppy at home, chewing your things, nipping at your ankles, soiling your home etc. then I can help.

How frustrating is it when you are desperately trying to call your dog back to you and they just don't listen to you?

I can explain ' Why'  that is and help your dog connect with you so he/she wants to listen to you,

achieving a 'Solid ' Recall.

About me:

                 Hi there,  welcome to my website. My name is Andrea and I live in Hampshire, UK

with my family and our super dog.  

 I specialise in Dog Communication and Behaviour.

 I grew up with dogs and other animals.

In the past I have helped owners with caring for their dogs, horses and other pets.

I worked for a year in America for a family who owned horses and dogs.

When I returned home,  I enjoyed looking after dogs and all sorts of different animals working for Animal Aunts, ( first established in1987).

I house sat and looked after our friends 3 dogs and their 19 year old cat for

9 months whilst they travelled around the world. ( A Springer Spaniel, very active,

 a Norfolk Terrier, very independent and a black X-Labrador, calm and easy going). This is when I started gaining more experience working with small to large dogs as well as reading lots of books on canine behaviour.  

In 2003 I studied Canine Sports Therapy in Devon where I started treating dogs with massage therapy. I was always asked by the owners to help with their dogs unwanted behaviours.  I was eager to help the owners to

understand their dogs language.

All though training dogs in the basics was easy, there was

always something missing.

 I wanted to understand how to communicate and work with our own dogs and owners dogs in a kind, gentle way so they chose to listen to me and their owners. 

 After studying over a year with the Dog Trainer Academy I graduated in 2022.

 I have helped lots of owners establish a special bond with their puppies and dogs making the training so much more easier and special.

Happy Clients

" We - (me & my dog) moved house three times during the last year. I over compensated for the displacement with what I thought was kindness but in ignorance created an anxious dog and an anxious owner.
Once I understood more about the confusing messages I was giving and became more aware of 'dog language' things improved significantly.  There is a lot to learn but Andrea's approach really works. We- me & my dog are work in progress but a happier team, he is more secure with a relaxed confident owner.

The barking, excessive licking and meet and greet over excitement diminished in a day, once I had the knowledge and understanding of better clear and consistent communication on my part, thanks to Andrea's firm, gentle techniques and approach, backed up by her in-depth understanding of the canine species. I have her on going support.

This was money well spent. 

Thanks again, Jill "

“Our Irish Terrier, Charlie is a lively free thinking little ruffian who lives life his way! Andrea was very helpful with her advice and practical guidance on how we bought an element of control into his (and our) lives. He has learnt now that he does not rule the household which means he is calmer and better behaved. We now feel confident letting him off the lead as his recall is much improved and when people visit, he is less likely to bowl them over! Andrea’s ongoing advice has been reassuring” Thanks Andrea.

" Andrea was incredible with helping us with our 4 year old Jack Russell Panda. Although a wonderful dog, there were some dogs Panda was not keen on and her barking when someone came to the door was out of control. Andrea visited us and noticed that Panda was holding a lot of responsibility and being overly protective which we needed to take away from her.
Andrea spend time with us talking us through her techniques and within moments we could see changes in our Panda's behaviour - we were amazed! We implemented these practices and we quickly noticed that we were now in more control, Panda was more relaxed and calmer - friends even commented on how much calmer she was.

Although she does still bark when the door goes, this is an ongoing process and we are determined to keep going with the techniques - we have seen changes however, and she stays in her bed when someone knocks on the door and calms down very quickly.

Andrea is excellent. Andrea spent time with us, listening to our needs, adapted things to suit our needs and has been on hand throughout.
We would highly recommend Andrea and her gentle dog training - it has been a game changer for us - all leading to a calmer, happier doggy and family!
It's a 5 star rating from us! " ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

" ...thank you so much for your help. Obviously we are still working on the training, but I would say that so far it has been pretty transformational! He does still have a tendency to walk ahead, but he is not pulling any more."

Andrea with Ted

" I noticed a difference with her behaviour within 24 hours which surprised me and she has settled much more already! "

A Gently Does It Approach

Puppies and dogs have their own unique characters which we want to nurture

when helping them with their specific needs.

 An easy programme is put together by the behaviourist/trainer for the owners to work with in their busy daily lives. 

 Kind, Gentle and Simple training methods and techniques are used in conjunction with

The Transformational 5 Golden Rules.

 With this unique method we do ask you to continue practicing what has been taught.

Gently Does It Dog Training is here to make life easy for You, your Family and your Dogs.

You will be offered Free Post Consultation Advice, Help and Reassurance, for weeks or months by phone and/or email.      You are not alone, we are here to help you succeed in helping your dogs become calmer members of the family/home, who will want to listen to you.

  

As a family, we attended an agility class in the past and we were shouted at!  Our dog was just not ready for this type of activity and nor were the rest of the 12 different breed of dogs out of 16 in the class. Only 4 dogs were left after the

6 week course. The rest had given up !   These classes can be enjoyable but they are not going to train your dogs

nor will these kind of courses help with behavioural issues.

If you want a Balanced, Calm Four Legged Member of the Family then

you have landed on The Pawfect Dog Behaviourist/Trainer Website.
