Why I Created Dogs Furrst
I didn't become a dog trainer because I always had perfect pets. I became a trainer because of my dog, Ernesto.
When Ernesto was young, he was reactive — barking and lunging at everything on walks, struggling even to sit calmly in a pub or café. People would actually say it to my face: "small dog syndrome." I had no idea how to fix it, and I felt completely stuck.
I loved Ernesto too much to give up, so I started searching for answers. The more I learned, the more it turned into a passion — one that led me to launch a dog walking business and spend my spare time training to become a force-free dog trainer. By using kind, science-backed methods, I learned how to make him feel safe.
Don't get me wrong — Ernesto still has the odd moment! But now, we both recover in seconds and move on with our day.
I created Dogs Furrst to be the friendly, judgment-free helping hand I desperately needed back then. I'm here to coach you, support you, and help you get your happy walks back.
