About Me
Guiding noses and nurturing confidence.
Hi, I’m Lucy — a qualified dog trainer and Scentwork UK Instructor and Judge based in Cheltenham. I help people and their dogs build stronger bonds through positive, personalised, choice based one-to-one training. Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, navigating behaviour challenges, or looking to explore the amazing world of scent work, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
My Story
I share my home (and sofa!) with my three dogs: Olive and Pickles, the sassy Chihuahuas, and Ella, the zoom-loving Whippet. They are daily reminders that every dog learns differently and that training should always be tailored to the individual.
Before working with dogs, I spent years as a psychotherapist, specialising in supporting people with PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. I understand that traditional group classes aren’t right for everyone — and that our dogs often play a powerful role in our emotional wellbeing. My training approach integrates behavioural science with a deep appreciation of the human-canine bond, ensuring both ends of the lead feel safe, confident, and understood.
Serving Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Stroud, Winchcombe, Evesham and surrounding areas, I help dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities — as well as the humans who love them. Together, we’ll develop real-life skills, confidence-building techniques, and engaging play-based training so you and your dog can thrive in everyday life.
I can’t wait to meet you and begin your training journey!
