About Nina & Arlo

I started learning dog training and assisting dog trainers at the age of 18 and soon got qualified with the IMDT. After completing their assessment, I completed further courses specifically looking at canine aggression, separation anxiety, puppy cognitive development, and advanced behaviour modification & studied the Level 3 behavioural course in Learning, Motivation & Reinforcement. I wanted to learn everything I could about behaviour and a few years later, my Level 4 Diploma in Canine Behaviour. I continue to study and learn from some incredible trainers such as Dr Melanie Uhde and Michael Ellis.

​

My boy Arlo was a Bulgarian street dog and taught me more about patience, understanding and earning trust than any dog training course as we worked through his fears and aggressive behaviours towards people. This has meant that I work a lot with rehomed street dogs and work directly with multiple different foreign rescues all across Europe to help adopters get the best outcomes. I have been on a big journey with training my own dogs and tried and tested different training styles, methods and sports/scentwork to be able to help my own dog and develop my knowledge. It is my aim to bring solutions to dog owners, work through problems with training that actually works and enables dogs and their humans to live fulfilling lives.

​

I have been working with dogs consistently for more than 7 years and developed my training methods alongside some incredible trainers, continuing my education and developing sports such as mantrailing, canicross, scent detection and obedience. Arlo and myself are big into hiking and adventures and have been all over the UK together, completing some of the UK's biggest peaks while living in a self converted van.

I am now settled in Kent, with another dog soon to join our little pack and some very exciting projects in the works. If you need help with your dog and you want a trainer who fully understands the struggles of behavioural issues, has dedicated years to learning the best and most adaptable ways to train dogs and will help you through every step of the way, I am here to help.​
