About our trainer

My name is Iona and I am an experienced dog trainer with a Diploma in Dog Behaviour and Training. I use science-based, force-free positive reinforcement methods to help you build a solid relationship with your dog. I believe that training is part of bonding with your dog – it should be enjoyable and rewarding, and build trust, confidence and security between you and your dog.

Positive reinforcement training works by guiding, practicing and reinforcing the behaviour you want to see more of from your dog. The more you reinforce the desired behaviour, the more likely it is to happen again. It is much more effective to reinforce the behaviours that your dog is getting right, than to punish them for behaviours they’re getting wrong.

Choice-based and force free training has been consistently proven to be the most effective method of training when it comes to dogs and the way that they learn.
