our process
Why Dogaholics training works.
- Dogaholics identifies the underlying cause. Most unwanted behaviours are symptoms, not the problem itself. Barking, pulling, lunging, anxiety and reactivity often stem from underlying emotions, learning experiences and unmet needs. We take the time to understand what is driving your dog’s behaviour so we can address the cause, not just manage the symptoms.
- Dogaholics science based training. Using evidence-based behavioural science and positive kind reinforcement methods, we create a personalised training plan for your dog. By building new skills, confidence and emotional resilience, we help your dog learn better ways to respond to the world around them.
- Happy and confident lasting outcomes. When the underlying cause is understood and the right skills are developed, meaningful change becomes possible. The result is a calmer, more confident dog, clearer communication, a stronger relationship and practical behaviours that support a happier life together.

about us
Experienced support you can trust
Eve is an experienced dog trainer and behaviour consultant dedicated to helping dogs and their pet parents develop confident, connected relationships.
Her approach combines professional knowledge with practical guidance that works in real homes, neighbourhoods and everyday situations. Every training plan is tailored to the individual dog rather than following a one-size-fits-all method.
Dogaholics uses gentle, positive and reward-based training to make learning clear, engaging and achievable. Pet parents receive patient support, thoughtful explanations and practical steps they can continue using long after each session.
TRAINING THAT FITS YOUR LIFE
Practical skills for life together
Dog training is most valuable when it supports the moments you share every day. From walks and outings to visitors, playtime and relaxed time at home, useful skills can make communication clearer and life together more enjoyable.
Dogaholics takes the time to understand your dog as an individual. Their age, personality, experiences, environment and learning style all help shape the training approach.
You will learn practical strategies that are easy to apply between sessions, with each step explained clearly and demonstrated in a way that makes sense.
Training progresses at a pace that supports both you and your dog. Whether you are building strong foundations, developing advanced skills or seeking behaviour guidance, every session is designed to create meaningful, lasting progress.
