Crate training done right 👌

Rheva isn’t keen on a crate… but that doesn’t mean she can’t learn to feel comfortable and relaxed in one.

Crate training is all about going at the dog’s pace — no rushing, no forcing and no expecting too much too soon.

With patience, positive experiences and consistency, even a dog who dislikes the crate can learn that it’s a safe, happy and relaxing place to be.

It’s not about making them love it overnight… it’s about building trust, one step at a time. 🐶✨

Rheva is proof that going at their pace really does make a difference.

🐾 Training isn’t just about teaching a dog what to do…

It’s about helping them understand why.

Tell me and I forget.
Show me and I remember.
Involve me and I understand.

That’s at the heart of what I believe in at DogTuition.

Training with kindness, understanding and a focus on building a stronger relationship between you and your dog. 🐶

Hi, I’m Sarah!
I’ve been walking dogs for over 15 years and have been training dogs for the past 6 years. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m passionate about helping them enjoy life, learn new skills and build confidence.
I’m also a proud owner of three dogs of my own — two Cocker Spaniels, Charlie & Lottie, who are almost 15 and now enjoying a much quieter life, and my 3-year-old Miniature Poodle, Rheva, who definitely has no interest whatsoever in a quiet life!
Rheva and I love keeping busy together and regularly take part in dog sports, with Rally Obedience and Scent Work being our favourites.
My approach to training is reward-based and kind, focusing on positive experiences and building a strong relationship between dog and owner. I do not use harsh training methods, aversive techniques or equipment.
I’m qualified and certified in dog training and continue to study and develop my knowledge so I can keep up to date with the latest understanding and best practices in dog behaviour and training.
Whether your dog needs a fun new activity, help learning good manners, or simply someone who understands and genuinely loves dogs, I’m here to help. ❤️🐾

Time to hang up my walking boots 😔🐾

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the extremely difficult decision to step away from dog walking. Unfortunately, physically, I can no longer continue.

I feel incredibly lucky to have spent the last 15 years doing what I love, surrounded every day by some truly amazing dogs and their wonderful owners. I’ve made so many special memories along the way, and I’ll always be grateful for every single one. ❤️

Although the walks are coming to an end, the training and behaviour side of things will continue — just under a new name, with a fresh new look and an exciting new chapter ahead.

This isn’t quite the end… it’s simply a change of direction. 🐾

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, trusted me with your dogs and been part of my journey over the years. It really does mean more than you know. I will miss the dogs so much ❤️

Great work Rosie 🌟

Baxter 💛

Baxter is an Old English Sheepdog cross Poodle, he’s not just super cute he’s super intelligent too!

His owners have done an amazing job so far they just needed a little reassurance that they were doing the very best for Baxter.

Welcome to the gang Peggy 💜

Peggy has been training with us since she was a puppy today she joined the gang for walks.
She had a lovely welcome from everyone and was the most perfect little lady, fitted straight in. Looking forward to lots more adventures ☺️

I am always extremely grateful for enquiries, there have been so many the last few weeks. My apologies to those I didn’t reply to quick enough or was unable to fit in sooner, but…

There’s often a reason experienced trainers have a waiting list.
Waiting for a good dog trainer can be frustrating, especially when you’re eager to get started.

A good trainer spends time with every client, continues their own education, and focuses on getting lasting results.

Your dog’s training can have a huge impact on the next 10–15 years of your life together. It’s worth taking the time to find someone whose methods, knowledge and experience you trust.

Don’t choose a trainer based solely on who can fit you in first. Choose the one who’s the right fit for you and your dog. 🐾

“Remember… good trainers don’t just train dogs—they teach owners the skills to enjoy a lifetime with their dog. That’s worth waiting for.” 🐶
