Services
Below, you will find all the areas I can help you with your dog. With over 16 years of experience as a Trainer and ​Behaviourist, I am not like any other Behaviourist. I make it my job to help you not only know what to do to train or change your dog's behaviours but, most importantly, help you understand their motivation and why the methods I suggest work. So that you don't just say you are doing something because I told you to, but you really understand your dog more fully for now and the future. All services are offered initially online with in-person options within 6 miles of SE25 6RL or a small surcharge added for every 2 miles after that.

Why
Online?
After 15 years in the industry, Eryn updated her business model in line with what she observed during the pandemic.
From March 2020, we have provided our services solely online with better results than ever before.
In brief, your time spent with Eryn focuses on what to do to change the behaviours you're struggling with, rather than her getting your dog calm enough in her presence to be able to listen and learn.
What's Included?
What this service includes:
​
-
Initial assessment and discussion of your dog's behavioural and medical history
-
Provisional diagnosis
-
A tailored plan for management and behavioural modification strategies
-
Video demonstrations for exercises suggested
-
Handouts for exercises introduced
-
Recordings of any online sessions
-
Vet report
-
Email support for two months after the initial consultation
What Happens After
We have a selection of Supplementary Sessions from one-off sessions to a choice of packages of 2,3,4 and 6 x 60-minute sessions. Which can all be broken down in to 30-minute consultations if this works better for you and your dog too.
​
If Eryn believes you or your dog would benefit from being seen in person after your initial consultation, we offer blended learning options*— assessed on a case-by-case basis, and, at our discretion, within a 5-mile radius of SE25 6RL.
* coaching in person & online
New Baby
Whether you are expecting or have just brought a new baby home we have a service to fit your needs which will set your family up for life.
I am passionate about safety for dogs & children together, both in private & public places. As one in four families owns a dog in the UK today, it is essential that children are educated about dog bite prevention and safety around dogs.
​
Preparation is Best
For families who are about to welcome a new bundle of joy. I talk you through the best way to prepare your furry friend for the new arrival and how best to manage the first few months and first year of your new babies life around your dog.

Separation Anxiety
Firstly, you haven’t caused it but I can help. Working with a dog that has separation anxiety takes time and patience. I give you a personalised, highly effective plan which is simple to follow. I hold your hand every step of the way. By taking all the guesswork out of the process and guiding and supporting you to a happier life with a dog confident to spend time home alone!
Not Alone
Separation Anxiety is isolating for you and your dog – studies have shown that over 50% of our dogs suffer from this condition. As my consultations are held online this means we can meet in all weather, with the added bonus of being at the same time every week so that you always have the time to train and progress.
Having a session weekly to attend, give you the accountability to practice and report back on how you are doing.
​
The Method
I use a process of Systematic Desensitisation to gradually teach your dog that being alone is safe. All my Separation Anxiety work is done 100% remotely (via Zoom) so I am able to work with you no matter where you are in the UK! Working remotely ensures that I can observe your dog’s behaviour without my presence affecting it.
​
I create customised and personalised training programmes for your dog, giving. you 5 plans a week in a step-by-step format.
​
Technology
Technology allows me to see what is happening in real-time and guide you through the protocols in true-life situations no matter where you live or what hours you have available for training. I do ask for a minimum of 4 weeks' commitment as this allows me to get a foothold on the behaviour and enables me to teach you how the protocol works.
As anxiety is experienced differently by each individual, response rates to behaviour modification vary from dog to dog, and the progress can be slower to start with.
the Protocol
It is important that your dog is not left for longer than he/she can handle. Please remember your dog does not need to be with you all the time….they just need to be not left alone!
​
​
At the end of the initial 4-week training, you will be able to continue training with me for a further 4 weeks or longer, or you may find you have acquired sufficient knowledge to be able to progress the process forward on your own.

"We've worked closely with Eryn for the last few months, dealing with a range of our whippet's behavioural difficulties. She instantly just GOT it and has helped us all tremendously. Arthur is almost unrecognisable after just a few sessions with Eryn.
She's able to distil complex dog behavioural theory and research in a way that means you properly understand your dog and why they might be acting the way they are. With that fundamental understanding, she then moves on to offering practical and easy-to-follow training techniques.
She's great. You and your dog will be grateful that you got in touch."
Tom Skinner
