"Every dog has a story. Some bark, lunge, or hide because the world feels overwhelming. Others struggle to be left alone, or panic at the vet. You are not alone — and neither is your dog."
At Mutts & Mischief, I specialise in supporting dogs who feel anxious, sensitive, or reactive. My consultations are online, so you and your dog can stay relaxed in your own environment. No pressure. No judgement.
Just practical, kind help.

Initial Consultation: We’ll begin with a relaxed, in-depth chat about your dog’s history, current behavior, and daily routine.
This helps me get the full picture so we can focus on what really matters to you and your dog.
Recording and transcript: each consultation will be recorded and sent to you alone with a transcript of what we discussed.
Personalized Plan: After our session, you’ll receive a clear, step-by-step plan tailored specifically to your dog’s needs and your goals. No jargon—just practical advice that works for your lifestyle.
Supportive Resources: You’ll also get helpful tools like journals and trackers to make it easy to monitor progress and celebrate wins along the way.
Why choose Mutts & Mischief?
You won’t get an “old-school” trainer here. Dogs are allowed on the sofa, in the bed, and in your heart — because real life matters more than strict obedience.
-
Fun, not formality: training that builds connection, not commands.
-
Science-based & force-free: grounded in kindness, never punishment.
-
Inclusive & understanding: Being autistic, neurodivergent, and living with disability, I understand the need for flexibility, patience, and kindness — for both you and your dog.
-
Holistic & collaborative: I work alongside your vet and care team to make sure your dog’s health and emotions are at the centre of the plan.
What is a Consultation Going to Consist of?
This isn’t as complicated as it sounds—think of it as a helpful toolkit to make sure we’re not missing any important pieces of the puzzle.
Sometimes, a dog’s behavior can be linked to discomfort or an underlying health condition. The consultation helps us work closely to identify patterns, triggers and past experiences, for example mum and dad, may hold the key to the "why" of the behaviour or grandparents. It can be the environment, it can be a past traumatic experience or it could be related to the breed.
You’ll also get my book The Canine Compass: A Health and Behaviour Guide — completely free! It usually sells for £10 and is packed with £50 worth of value.
This helps us to work with your vet to rule out pain or health issues that might be contributing to your dog’s behavior.
Most people are shocked when we suggest a veterinarian check however Mills, et al (2020) found 80% of dogs presenting with new behaviours were actually experiencing pain and or unwellness. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/10/2/318
It includes:
✅ Simple forms to share key observations with your vet.
✅ A checklist of things to discuss with your vet, so nothing gets overlooked.
✅ Tools like the Helsinki Pain Scale to identify subtle signs of pain or discomfort.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to monitor key factors like eating habits, sleep patterns, and exercise levels. Identify potential changes in your dog’s behavior and explore what may have triggered them.
Use the included Helsinki Pain Scale to assess your dog’s discomfort, keep video records for professionals, and understand how physical issues could be affecting their behavior.
Plus, you can store your dog’s medical notes, vet visits, hydrotherapy details, and more in one place, ensuring a collaborative approach from your dog’s multidisciplinary team.
This pack is all about making sure your dog’s health and happiness are fully supported. Most guardians find it really helpful for improving communication with their vet—and many vets appreciate it too!
