Help for owners struggling with their dog's behaviour in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.

Even if you have tried everything and nothing has worked!



I can help you to understand your dog's behaviour and build the best possible relationship with your dog.

Behaviour Support That Makes a Real Difference

 Life with a reactive or aggressive dog can feel overwhelming. The barking, lunging, growling — or worse, biting — can turn everyday activities into high-stress situations. It’s not just the dog that’s struggling. You are too.

Whether you're dealing with a powerful dog, a complex rescue, or just feel totally out of your depth, you’re not alone — and you haven’t failed.

At Dogs Be Dogs, we offer kind, practical, and effective behaviour support to help you understand your dog, rebuild your confidence, and bring calm back into your life.



We don't just help you to address your dog's behaviour -  we help you to understand your dog better.

We are recommended by vets and will always strive to work in partnership with your vet to achieve the best outcome for your dog.

A Behaviourist Who Understands you – Personally and Professionally.

I'm a qualified behaviourist based in Reading, Berkshire, working across Caversham, Henley, Burghfield, Mortimer, and surrounding areas in Berkshire and Oxfordshire.

But beyond the qualifications, I also understand what it feels like to live with a dog who is reactive, fearful or aggressive — because I’ve been there myself.

From my first dog who was misunderstood and mishandled on old-fashioned advice, to my rescue Stabyhoun who was scheduled for euthanasia due to aggression — my journey into behaviour work was personal before it was professional.

I know how it feels to love a dog who’s struggling.

I also know that behaviour change is absolutely possible.

Real Results, Real Support

Here’s what some of our clients have said:

“We thought we might have to put our dog down — now life is a joy, both - at home and on walks.”
“Tash puts you at ease and always makes sure the dogs feel safe.”
“Walks used to be a nightmare. Now we enjoy them.”
“She helped me rebuild my confidence and understand my dog in a new way.”

You don’t need to feel hopeless. You don’t need to be in tears. And you don’t have to do this alone.

What to Expect:

Step 1: Free Discovery Call (15 mins)
A short phone call where you can talk me through what’s going on and ask any questions. There’s no pressure — just a chance to see if we’re the right fit, and for me to learn a bit more about your dog and the challenges you're facing.

Step 2: Veterinary Referral
If your vet hasn’t already been in touch, I’ll ask you to send them a short referral form. This helps ensure your dog is physically well enough for behaviour work and allows us to rule out any underlying health concerns. I’ll continue to liaise with your vet throughout the process and may recommend further checks if needed.

Step 3: Behaviour Consultation
A 90-minute consultation, either at your home or one of my training venues. We’ll take an in-depth look at your dog’s behaviour, history, environment, and emotional wellbeing — and begin working on practical exercises to form the foundation of your dog’s behaviour change plan.

Step 4: Personalised Action Plan
You’ll receive a clear, tailored plan that fits both your dog and your lifestyle. No generic advice — just science-based, compassionate guidance delivered with empathy and without judgement.

Step 5: Ongoing Support
Behaviour change takes time. That’s why I offer follow-up packages with continued support between sessions, so we can build on progress and navigate challenges together.

Cost:
The initial 90-minute consultation is £175. Follow-up support is available in a range of packages, depending on your dog’s needs and the level of guidance you'd like going forward. We’ll discuss the best option for you during your consultation.
