Enjoy A Quality Relationship With Your Dog
Living with a dog experiencing behavioural challenges can feel stressful, frustrating, and emotionally exhausting at times. Whether your dog is barking and reacting on walks, struggling with anxiety, displaying aggressive behaviour, or simply finding it difficult to settle at home, my private behavioural training consultations are designed to help you better understand your dog and improve your relationship together.
Common behaviour concerns I can help with include:
​
• Reactivity and barking on walks
• Fearful or anxious behaviour
• Separation anxiety and distress
• Aggression toward dogs or people
• Lead pulling and poor recall
• Jumping, mouthing and over-arousal
• Rescue dog adjustment issues
• Puppy and adolescent behaviour challenges
"I had an amazing experience with Mali the Dog Trainer. Her training methods were clear and effective, making it simple for me and my dog to follow. I especially appreciated the written report she provided which summarised everything and gave us a great reference for continued training. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident in working with my dog."

Why Choose Mali The Dog Trainer?
Every dog is different, which is why my behavioural training consultations are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, temperament, and home environment.
Rather than relying on punishment or “quick fixes,” I use practical, reward-based training methods designed to improve behaviour while strengthening the relationship between you and your dog.
​
Consultations take place in your home where your dog feels most comfortable, allowing me to assess the behaviours in the real-world situations where they are occurring and create a realistic training plan that works for your lifestyle.
What Happens During a Consultation?
Getting Started
​Every consultation begins with a detailed assessment of your dog’s behaviour, daily routine, home environment, and the specific challenges you are experiencing. This helps identify the underlying causes contributing to the behaviour.
Hands on Training
During the session, I will demonstrate practical, reward-based training exercises and management strategies tailored to your dog’s individual needs, personality, and learning style. I will also coach you so you get the same exact results.
Ongoing Support and Advice
After your consultation, you’ll receive personalised written notes, training videos and recommendations to help you confidently continue your training at home. Follow-up consultations are available in person or by phone.
"Mali is exceptional - she is fun and so very practical. Her love of dogs and understanding of the joys and challenges of a new puppy integrating into the family just shine through. I recommend her without hesitation."

"After just two sessions with Mali, we’ve noticed such a huge difference with our 4-year-old Moodle who had been struggling with reactivity around other dogs. She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and you can see her genuine love for dogs shine through. I honestly couldn’t recommend her more."
