Science-led training with real-world results
lee & Molly
RESCUE - husky, poodle, labrador mix
“Working with Zara has made a huge difference - not only in Molly’s behaviour, but in helping me understand the habits I was unintentionally reinforcing. The Walk & Train sessions give me real peace of mind, knowing Molly is safe and learning new skills, giving me a much-needed break.
We’re still on our training journey, but Zara keeps us accountable, which is exactly what we need to stay on track.”

“Zara’s methods are evidence-based, which was a welcome relief for us as new dog owners given the overwhelming conflicting information that’s out there. She always helps you to recognise and celebrate the wins along the way - no matter how big or small!
We highly recommend DOC & DOG!”

“Zara helped to build up my confidence in handling Scotch around other dogs. In the run up, we had over an hour 1 on 1 session and Zara is a breath of fresh air! It’s so refreshing to work with someone who just gets it and is there to reassure and guide in the best way.”

“The difference in just a few months of group walks and training sessions is incredible. We have built a much better partnership and have clearer boundaries now thanks to her help. She is brilliant at reading dog’s behaviour while knowing the reasoning behind it and showing us how to work on it.”
Rob, Claire & Cally
labrador retriever
“Cally can become easily overwhelmed. Zara helped us to increase our confidence in a variety of situations. Her approach to training is very thorough & consistent. She provided us with a helpful written recap of our sessions & excellent virtual support.
We always look forward to our sessions with DOC & DOG!”

“Zara is a really skilled trainer who will consider the whole dog and owner and is committed to getting the best outcome for both. She is warm, friendly and supportive and adapts her training to suit the environment and the dog in front of her. So glad to have found her and have her in our corner cheering us along on every step of our journey.”

“We’ve been working with Zara on Freddie’s lack of confidence and over reactions to dogs and now we can join the social walks and his ability to cope and enjoy them is improving all the time. Definitely recommend Zara to anyone looking for real support in real world situations."

“It’s never too late to enjoy the best of your dog and working with Zara over the last year has shown me just that! She just gets it; the worries, the doubts and everything in between. I would recommend Zara to anyone who wants to love life with their dog again and let their dog enjoy life to the fullest!”
