About

My Approach.

I use only positive training methods, believing that the best results come from kindness, patience and enthusiasm. I use lots of rewards such as treats, toys and play. Each case is treated as an individual, because that’s what we all are, no two dogs or two humans are the same. I want to build the relationship between your and your dog so that you can get the best out of each other.

What I offer.

When you get a puppy it is crucial that you start training right away, there are lots of things you can do in puppyhood to prevent problems later on. I can come and help you with some of the basics, I also work one to one with your puppy to help guide it into a well mannered dog should you not have the time to do so.

If your dog is having any problems such as separation issues, aggression, anxiety, barking or anything else that’s affecting you both, I would love to work with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or issues you would like to discuss and we can take it from there.

Thinking about getting a dog? Let me help pick the right breed for you. A lot of people end up with a breed that has needs they are unable to meet and many problems can be prevented from the very start before even getting a dog. I am happy to provide any advice for the fist time dog owner.

About me Georgie Bleza BCCDip.CanBhvPrac

I grew up as a country girl, surrounded by both horses and dogs spending most of my childhood trying to communicate with the four legged kind. If I wasn’t learning about the body language of animals, then I was rescuing an injured rabbit or fallen pigeon egg and hiding them in my bedroom when no one was looking. I was soon sent to do various courses and workshops with the RSPCA to fulfil my animal addiction. At 15 I was scouted as a model and moved over to city life in various different countries. Suddenly dogs were wearing sunglasses and shoes in Tokyo, they never saw the light of day in New York and they dined out in restaurants in Paris. This was a very different life for me and the dogs, I saw why a few of them were having problems and I had a desire to help. I fell for city life and I saw that dogs can do too.

I volunteered with the ASPCA in New York and a small independent rescue in Brooklyn where I focused on the rehabilitation of rescue dogs. 10 years on and I have settled back in London with my own rescue dog Badger, and focus on making the relationship between people and dogs a happy one. I have a diploma in canine behaviour, completed with the British College of Canine Studies and have specalised in agression and rehabilitation. I use positive, reward based training methods and believe that we are always finding out new studies about dogs, therefore I continue to attend seminars, workshops and courses to keep my training methods modern and effective.

Why Yoga?

Your dog is incredibly smart and knows exactly what mood you are in, what scares you and what makes you happy. Ever noticed your dog wants to comfort you when you're sad? Sometimes I find I am working as much with people’s emotions as with the dogs. Breathing techniques used in yoga and basic exercises can help calm your mind, ultimately then calming your dog. I do in home doga sessions that involves gentle stretching and breathing techniques for you and your dog. Its great for bonding and connecting with your furry friend
