The Whole Approach
Encouraging Behaviour Change
Because every dog deserves to feel safe, and every guardian deserves to feel supported.
Gentle, science-led guidance to help you and your dog find calm, connection, and confidence together.
Our Mission
At The Whole Approach, our mission is to bring clarity, compassion, and confidence to the journey of living with dogs. We believe change begins with an understanding of both canine and human needs, and grows through patience, practice, and trust.
We are dedicated to creating a kinder world for dogs and their guardians, where behaviour is not judged but supported, and every step forward strengthens the bond between them.
Our Services
Discover personalised support for you and your dog, built on kindness, connection, and practical strategies.
Whether you’re looking for focused one-to-one guidance or the shared learning of a workshop, we offer approaches that meet you where you are, and help you move forward together.
To begin, we offer a free phone consultation of up to 30 minutes - a chance to talk through your needs, ask questions, and decide on the right path forward for you and your dog.

Our behaviour consultations provide structured, science-led support for dogs displaying any unwanted behaviours.
Each session is tailored to understand the underlying causes, develop practical strategies, and build long-term change.
Designed to support both dog and guardian, with expert guidance every step of the way.
Training Packages
Our one-to-one training plans focus on building skills, confidence, and communication through positive reinforcement.
Each plan is tailored to your goals, whether you're working on recall, loose lead walking, or everyday manners.
You’ll receive structured guidance, practical exercises, and ongoing support to help you and your dog thrive.
Workshops
Our approachable, humans-only workshops explore the science behind canine behaviour in a supportive space.
