Play together - Stay together
Welcome to caniAmis! I'm delighted you found your way here. At last, you can stop the endless search for solutions... they're all here! 🎉
Whatever breed*, age, sex, colour, size, shape, neuter status or behaviour issue, there's a perfect solution waiting for you and your dog!
*Due to insurance restrictions, I am unable to provide support for Category 1 and 2 dogs, or those residing in the US or Canada.
I imagine you've found yourself here because:
I know how upsetting it can be when life with your dog doesn't turn out to be as expected. You've no doubt considered the options and found yourself between a rock and a hard place, feeling bewildered and not sure what to do for the best.
If your dog has any of the following behaviour issues, don't worry. Firstly, you're not alone! These are the three most common reasons for rehoming!
- Separation Anxiety: Barking, drooling, destroying things, inappropriate toileting, or any other undesirable behaviours in your absence.
- Noise Sensitivity: Barking, trembling, hiding, escaping, or any other behaviours related to fear of noises.
- Inappropriate Interactions: Barking, lunging, growling, biting, freezing or any other behaviours indicating a fear of other dogs, other animals, or people.
The great news is that together we can nip this in the bud and teach your dog the skills they're lacking so they're better able to cope in situations they find worrying, leaving you to get on with your life instead of feeling like a prisoner in your own home!
Who am I and how can I help you?
Hello! I'm Hazel, and this is Jack, my cheeky demo dog. Jack came to me from a refuge with just about every behaviour challenge you can imagine. So, I truly understand what you're going through, and I'm here to help with solutions that actually work!
My mission is simple: to ensure no dog-human relationship is ever lost. I support overwhelmed dog owners like you in becoming the best guardian for your dog, no matter how challenging the behaviour might be. Together, we can create the joyful life you envisioned when you first brought your dog home.
Want to know more? Watch this 30 minute interview to find out more about me, my reactive rescue Jack, and how I can help you with your dog.

What methods will we use to transform your dog's behaviour?
Unlike traditional dog training, games-based concept training is based on the most up to date scientific research. It takes a holistic approach to teaching your dog the skills they need to make successful behaviour choices in real-life situations.
This means arming yourself with the right tools and knowledge so that you can teach your dog the skills they need to navigate life successfully, whilst at the same time learning how to manage the environment to set your dog up for success.
It's a journey...
Think of it as a journey, from your starting point now - your dog reacting badly to other dogs, barking at noises only they can hear, you coming home to find puddles of drool all over the house - whatever your dog's behaviour struggle might be, to where you want to get to - that dream life you had in mind when you first got your dog.
Let yourself dare to dream...
- Barbecues with friends
- Coffee in a cafe
- Dinner in a restaurant
- Off-leash fun in the park
- Strolls along the beach
- Holidays in your motorhome
The possibilities are endless!
"Whatever your goal for your dog, I'm here to help you make that dream a reality."
What does the training look like?
Dogs with separation anxiety, noise sensitivity, and inappropriate interactions with animals or people are all lacking in the same underlying concepts. Some of these concepts are represented below.
We can harness the power of these concepts to change your dog's emotional response to things they find frustrating, worrying, or overly exciting.
Instead of associating negative emotions to certain things in the environment (noises, people/dogs, being left alone) they start to associate more positive emotions to those things.
Eventually, your dog learns new coping strategies and can happily tolerate situations they weren't able to cope with previously.
