Our approach
At The Big Dog Trainer, our approach is rooted in a deep commitment to the well-being and respect of every dog we work with. We exclusively use force-free, ethical, and science-based methods to ensure that our training is not only effective, but also compassionate. We believe that successful results come from understanding and caring for dogs, without the need for adverse tools or harsh techniques. By fostering a positive and trusting relationship, we help dogs and their owners achieve lasting results that are built on mutual respect and understanding.

“Absolutely amazing trainer! Lucy is so informative, kind and completely approachable. Seeing her with Reggie and talking us through, not only strategies, but reasons behind behaviour reshaped our way of thinking as first time dog owners!
We cannot recommend Lucy enough!”
