The Dog Coach Edinburgh

Kelly is amazing. She teaches you how to understand your own dog, and rather than just focusing on specific skills, she helps you to create a really strong relationship, and clear communication with them. We only had 3 sessions with her and we went from having a dog that would behave as if we didn't exist when on walks (0 recall, leash pulling, barking at everyone) to a dog than enjoys hanging out and walking with us, and who absolutely hares it back to us when we call her. Kelly is really patient and really good at listening - she will answer your specific questions and give you really tailored advice. Could not recommend more. And our pup loves her too!

Honestly, where to even start! Kellie has not only transformed our pups life, but in turn our lives too. Our rescue went from being scared stiff of the outside world and stuck on the stoop for 30 minutes to being a happy bouncy little boy bounding around the park tail wagging - living the life he deserves! He's unrecognisable now and I really never imagined it could be possible. We've had three sessions over the space of 2 years, and every one is full of just utterly invaluable information, almost always accompanied by genuinely jaw dropping moments and emotional ones too. Kellie has such an incredible way of sharing her endless knowledge that it's never overwhelming, and all feels within reach. From anxiety to uncontrollable pulling (or so we thought) to growling at other pups, she's helped us through each phase when at times it felt like there was nothing we could do. If you have a rescue (or any dog whatsoever for that matter), Kellie is the answer!

Working with Kellie has been the best decision we've made, regarding our puppy. Kellie has a wealth of knowledge about everything from optimising your home environment for a calm and well-stimulated dog, to training for reliable recall and disengagement from distractions outdoors. Kellie is reliable, flexible, generous with her time and excellent value. Can't recommend her enough. We will certainly be keeping in touch with her. Thanks Kellie!

Thanks ever so much Kellie for an incredible session helping me learn Kora better! Her knowledge and ability to convey it in an understandable and intuitive way really made our session both enjoyable and successful. The follow up email she sent was full of great content along with recommendations on everything from equipment to food. I look forward to working on kora's reactivity using Kellie's techniques before booking in again for another huge download of Kellie's info soon.

Booking sessions with Kellie to help our anxious Croatian rescue was the best decision! She was patient with all the questions I had and helped me understand his behaviour / struggles so much better. She never made me feel silly for asking questions which was a great comfort. Kellie followed up our sessions with detailed emails going over what we discussed and adding helpful links where needed. She clearly cares so much and is so knowledgeable, I would recommend Kellie to anyone having issues or in need of some confidence with their handling. Thank you, Kellie!
