Calm, ethical dog training and behaviour support for dogs and the people who love them.
Where science meets the magic of understanding.
About Me
Behaviour begins with understanding.
"I believe in the kind of magic that lives in observation and understanding. Shaped by my Celtic roots and grounded in science, I help people make sense of their dogs’ behaviour in a way that feels clear, practical, and compassionate."
Eryn is a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) registered with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC), an Animal Training Instructor (ATI), and a full member of APBC, TCBTS, and APDT C.I.C.
When your dogs behaviour feels hard, you’re not alone.
Understanding changes how everything feels.
Most people come to me when things no longer feel manageable. You may be worried about your dog’s behaviour, unsure what has changed, or feeling tense and on edge in everyday situations.
Behaviour challenges often show up when a dog is struggling to cope, not because anyone has done something wrong. Fear, stress, pain, frustration, and unmet needs can all influence behaviour in ways that feel sudden or confusing.
My role is to meet you where you are, listen without judgement, and help you make sense of what’s been happening for you and your dog. As the pieces come together, people often rediscover their ability to trust their own judgement, follow their instincts, and enjoy life with their dog again. You are the expert in living with your dog day in, day out. I am there to facilitate, share knowledge, and offer a different perspective, so together we build understanding, predictability, and calmer confidence, and life with your dog begins to feel less heavy.
The Behaviour Witch: How I work
Seeing what others overlook.
Over the years, I’ve been called a witch more times than I can count. Not in the sense of mysticism, but in the older meaning of the word: someone who brings knowledge, care, and calm into situations that feel overwhelming.
My work is grounded in careful observation, behavioural science, and experience. I pay close attention to the details that shape behaviour over time, including learning history, environment, emotional state, and physical wellbeing. This approach allows difficult situations to feel more manageable and helps people and dogs find their way forward with less pressure and more clarity.
This way of working sits naturally within clinical behaviour practice. It is about understanding the whole picture, choosing thoughtful interventions, and knowing when not to rush change. The aim is to bring steadiness, understanding, and sometimes a little lightness back into moments that have become heavy, while staying practical, ethical, and rooted in evidence.
How behaviour support works
When the whole picture is seen, meaningful change can often be seen quickly.
Behaviour often shifts when the right pieces fall into place. Taking time to understand the whole dog, cat, or horse can bring clarity to situations that feel complex or overwhelming, sometimes sooner than people expect.
My work focuses on understanding the individual in front of us and responding in ways that support welfare, real life, and enjoyment. Reducing stress and restoring ease can lead to noticeable early changes, while also supporting steadier, longer-term progress.
Step 1.
Understanding the whole animal
We begin by looking at the full picture, including learning history, environment, daily routines, emotional state, and physical comfort. Behaviour is understood as communication, not something to be controlled.
Step 2.
Practical support that brings relief
Support is tailored to the individual and the household. Small, well-chosen changes often reduce pressure quickly, helping animals and people feel more at ease and confident as they move forward.
Step 3.
Building enjoyment and resilience
As behaviour becomes easier to understand and manage, there is space to bring enjoyment back into everyday life. Play, choice, and positive experiences are central to helping animals cope and thrive, not optional extras.
What My Clients Say
Ten years ago, I brought home a traumatised EBT, whom I named Prea. I had no idea she’d change everything.
Eryn stepped in with kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support when I felt completely out of my depth. Her guidance helped Prea heal – and it quietly changed the course of my life, too. Today, I'm a qualified trainer and behaviourist, and Prea is still by my side. I’ll always be grateful to Eryn – she didn’t just help my dog. She helped me become who I was meant to be.
Sarah W.
When I brought Pixie home as a 5-month-old pup, I was overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice. Finding Eryn changed everything.
With her guidance, we joined an online Life Skills class that was fun, supportive, and completely transformed how we trained together.
Pixie has blossomed into a confident, clever little dog, and training has become the best part of our week. I’ve learned so much, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together.
Lindsey E.
I joined Eryn’s training group five years ago, looking for more enrichment for my already well-trained dog, Lexi, and we’ve never looked back.
We both love the classes, and when they moved online during COVID, none of us expected how brilliantly they’d work. When we were allowed to return to in-person, the whole group voted NO! Zoom training has been more convenient and focused; even after moving out of London, we’ve stayed connected. It’s been a total game-changer for us.
