Learn in a Group Class
We have Group Classes for Pups as young at 8-weeks weeks of age all the way up to adult dogs who’d like to learn some new skills.
We cover all the behaviours you’d need, such as confidence building, spitting items out of their mouths, coming when called, lead walking and so much more.
It is a lovely way to connect to other people in the same situation as you, as well as learn all the skills your pup or dog will need for life too.

Magic
In 2007 a little dog came into my life, Alfie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, by 2009 his ‘magic’ became clear. He could sniff out exactly where my mum’s muscular dystrophy was active. She would call it ‘buzzing’ and he would locate and lick the area. It blew our minds just how incredible this little dog was.
Since Alfie, all my dogs have shown incredible intuition towards health-related issues whether physical or mental. This is why the company was called ‘Believe in Magic’ as all dogs have something magical about them.
I now know, thanks to science, that it is scent which drives these incredible beings, they can smell when we are happy, sad, sick, healthy, which is why I love incorporating aspects to improve and support emotional, cognitive and physical health in all our services we provide for dogs and their human guardians.
Science
I adore science, data and patterns. This is how we can measure progress, find evidence and understand the physiological and psychological makeup of our animals, It is all connected.
We should always be looking at this Venn Diagram when working or living with animals. All out Behavioural or Training work encompasses each of these aspects.

Clients Who Believe!
“Eryn and her team are just fantastic. Poppy and I have attended group classes and had some 121 sessions and I highly recommend. Eryn’s knowledge and passion shine through and she has a lovely way of communicating with both humans and dogs! We have a busy household and two young children and Eryn completely gets it and her training and behaviour management advice always factors in not just what is needed for Poppy but what is manageable and attainable for me. Eryn has helped us immensely and she is always my go-to with anything pooch related. Poppy and I are both very glad we found Believe in Magic!.”
“Eryn has made us all much more confident about working with our Staffie Kassie. Eryn is so knowledgeable about dog behaviour and super encouraging. And it helps that they pretty much fell in love on the first meeting! We started with 1-1 sessions and really glad we were recommended to Eryn.”
“Eryn and her team are so dedicated to ensuring the very best for our furry friends. She has helped us feel much more confident with our training with Murphy and made me feel much more positive about our future with our bouncy, happy, playful and energetic pup. Am so grateful for her support and calm guidance as well as no-nonsense approach.”
It takes work and dedication but I hope that Eryn and Merry have started me and my pup off on the right track. They have a kind approach to training your hound. Which I love. My dog is a delight, I just have to get my act together!.”
We’ve got you covered!
Hi I’m Eryn
I established Believe In Magic Dog Training & Behaviour in South East London in 2011, when I moved here from North London. I have been an Animal Trainer and Behaviourist since 2007. Before specialising in Dogs and Cats I was a Horse Trainer. My love for animals is deep routed, I love learning how to effectively transfer my skills to pet guardians so they can implement the training themselves. There is nothing better than seeing clients of mine helping others understand their own dogs better. Educating each other on body language and understanding why behaviours are repeated. Good or bad.
Hi I’m Merry
I joined Believe In Magic Dog Training & Behaviour in 2016, when I moved here from Devon. I have been a Dog Trainer since 2016 and Behaviourist since 2017. I love keeping up to date on current research, training developments and looking at how we can use this new information within our consultations and classes. I share my home with my 2 rescue dogs Rudolph (Staffie x EBT) and Margot (CKCS), and a menagerie of other animals from my amazing tortoise to my African Pygmy Hedgehog. To say I am an Animal Lover may be a slight understatement.
