SIRIUS DOG STARS | MODERN POSITIVE DOG PARENTING
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A KINDER, MORE HOLISTIC WAY TO HELP YOUR DOG?
A shift away from fixing, forcing or managing their symptoms, and towards listening, understanding and getting to the actual root cause.
At Sirius Dog Stars, my approach is rooted in ethical, science-led, canine behaviour and psychology.
It's about understanding what lies beneath the behaviour, rather than relying on endless treats, constant corrections or complicated games and exercises that are difficult to put into practice in everyday life.
Instead, we focus on understanding your dog as an individual and finding practical, thoughtful ways to support their needs.
Whether it’s a brand new puppy, an adolescent navigating the world, or an adult dog needing guidance, I’m here to listen, help you understand your dog, get to the root of any challenges and build a stronger bond together, with practical guidance, compassion and no judgement.
LISTENING TO YOUR DOG STARTS HERE
If you're looking to better understand your dog and build an even stronger connection, you're not alone.
Many owners come to me because they want to understand their dog's needs, emotions and behaviour, and build a relationship where their dog feels listened to, understood and supported.
I CAN HELP IF YOUR DOG:
✓ Pulls on the lead, making walks stressful rather than enjoyable
✓ Finds it difficult to come back when called
✓ Reacts to other dogs, people or everyday situations
✓ Barks frequently at home or out on walks
✓ Seems anxious, nervous or easily overexcited
✓ Struggles to settle, relax or focus
✓ Displays behaviours you're unsure how to understand or help
EVERY BEHAVIOUR HAS A REASON
Dogs are constantly communicating with us.
Behind every behaviour is a reason. It might be an unmet need, an emotion, an instinct or simply your dog trying to make sense of the world around them.
Rather than focusing on correcting what we see on the surface, I take the time to listen, understand what's going on beneath the behaviour and recognise what your dog is trying to communicate.
Your dog isn't giving you a hard time on purpose. They're communicating in the only way they know how. When we understand that, we can begin to build a stronger relationship based on trust, connection and mutual understanding.
CHANGE THE UNDERSTANDING, NOT THE DOG.
LISTENING. UNDERSTANDING. TRUST. CONNECTION.
Helping dog parents see the world through their dog's eyes,
using canine psychology, a language all canines understand.
LET'S TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOGETHER
HELPING DOG PARENTS SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR DOG'S EYES
I take the time to really get to know your dog, looking beyond the behaviour to understand their individual needs, emotions and what may be influencing the way they respond to the world around them.
Together, we'll put practical, considered steps in place to help you better understand and respond to your dog's needs, while giving you the knowledge and confidence to support them in everyday life.
Because lasting change begins when we start to understand our dogs, rather than simply trying to change them.
