The Labels

  • "Reactive" 
  • "Aggressive"
  • "Disobedient" 
  • "Untrainable"
  • "Anxious" 
  • "Beyond hope"
  • "Out of Control" 
  • "Nightmare"

The Myths

  • 'Positive reinforcement training doesn't work for reactive dogs'
  • 'You can only solve pulling on lead with shock or prong collars'
  • 'Extreme training methods are needed for big dogs'
  • 'You need to show your dog who's boss - be the pack leader'
  • 'Little dogs are aggressive because they have big dog syndrome'

The Truth

  • Your dog is not trying to give you a hard time, they are having a HARD TIME!
  • Training should be FUN NOT Fearful
  • Training in the situation DOES NOT help your dog to manage their emotions
  • Dogs do not come knowing how to manage our human world - It can be a very scary place
  • We are the only species that expects another species to understand our language when we don't give the time to understand theirs.  BE PATIENT & KIND!!

What Our Clients Say

"I'm absolutely delighted with the progression that my reactive dog has made in just five weeks with Tracy. She really must be part-wizard!"

 "I took my 2 year old border terrier, Jeff, to Tracy after he began barking at other dogs after an attack by an off lead dog whilst he was on lead and also another incident where he ran off after a herd of deer! Training is the highlight of his week. Tracy explains things so well and training is fun and really works. Jeff is much calmer and confident now and Tracy has an explained the importance of games based training for stimulating Jeff’s brain. Recently we have undertaken scent training which he also loves. Jeff is not a dog who wanted to engage in discipline based training and that is not something I would have wanted for him. We are on a lifetime training journey. Thanks so much Tracy.

"I certainly recommend the Dogwarts K9 Academy to everyone but especially to those ones who are struggling with some behavioural issues. You'll notice changes after the first 2 weeks!"

Tracy

Welcome to Dogwarts K9 Academy where I help stressed out dog parents overcome their dog training struggles and fall back in love with their dog again with pressure free, fun training techniques that get real life results.

Helping all dogs but specialising in Puppies and Reactivity & Anxiety cases.  

When you work with me you get the training your dog would choose if they were given the chance to pick a trainer. Why? Because my training helps you to understand your dog, to speak their language to help you understand the real meaning behind their behaviour which creates an unbelievable relationship of trust that enables you to get wonderful results.

I do not use and will not recommend any aversive training methods so you can be assured that the training you receive is judgement free, pressure free and fear free. I will never use intimidation to get results but instead use fun techniques that your dog can relate to, learns with, and puts the joy back into your training time together. When you work with your dog this way, your results really do become unstoppable.

I help you to break it all down, help you understand your dog’s go to response, pick up on the triggers (these may not be what you think they are) then we work together to bring hope back into your lives.

From dogs that have escaped war-torn countries to dogs that need help to learn that not everything in the environment is something to worry about, I have helped dogs with lead reactivity, dog/people reactivity, noise reactivity and separation related reactivity, I have helped them to reshape and rebuild their emotions so they can live their lives with less anxious reactivity and experience more adventures with joy.
