Dog driving you crazy?
I get it, you love your dog but you don't always like him. That's why my goal at About Your Dog is not to change your dog, but to help him to be the best version of himself.
​
Perhaps that looks like:
-
Swapping excessive barking for friendly but calm greetings or interactions
-
Reducing reactive or signs of aggression to things he finds scary and instead looking to you for support
-
Learning to regulate his emotions in stressful situations and making more positive decisions
-
Harnessing his playful energy into dog sports or new skills
-
Finding confidence and optimism so that you can start to make his world bigger
​
You may not know exactly what you need yet, but the main thing is...​​
You're not alone any more!
Here's how I can help you...
Practicing positive methods
At About Your Dog I promise never to use training methods that will intentionally punish, intimidate or hurt your dog. Science has shown us how effective positive reinforcement training can be in transforming behaviour problems, but it has also shown us the added benefits of confidence building and the development of a closer bond with the dog owner! My experience in this field makes me the most highly qualified dog trainer and behaviourist in Winchester.
Tackling complex problems
Throughout my career I've seen a huge variety of behaviour problems and worked with hundreds of owners to overcome them. I understand how hard it can be to trust that somebody can help, that's why I encourage you to approach me no matter how scary the problem is! I can help you with reactivity, resource guarding, barking, conflict with other animals and more! Don't suffer alone, I am right around the corner to help provide you with answers.
Covering multiple locations
Dog owners all over the UK need access to reliable, accredited dog trainers and behaviourists. That's why I offer in person services in the following locations:
​​
Hampshire | Berkshire | Surrey | London
​
Customers outside of these locations are encouraged to use my online services!.​
Supporting my community
About Your Dog is all about continued support and community. Every customer receives a minimum of 6 months support with their behaviour package as well as a 7 day free trial to my online community.
To get the best out of your treatment I'll also be pro-active about getting to know your vet, groomer or dog walker and I encourage you to involve family and friends.
The Good Dog Club
Online dog training courses and community network
The Good Dog Club is a judgement-free safe space for dog owners and canine professionals alike to learn from one another. Discuss reactivity, barking and other issues with people in the same situation, whilst overseen and guided by myself.
​
Everyone is entitled to a 3 day free trial of The Good Dog Club (Classic) plan. This extends to 7 when you buy a behaviour package with me!
Jade Nicholas
Clinical Animal Behaviourist, MSc, BA (Hons)
Hi, I'm Jade, and I'm here to help. I understand that your dog is your baby, your best friend and your companion, but I also understand that canine care is challenging. I'm here to navigate the rocky road of canine behaviour with you through a non-judgemental and fun approach!
"Jade is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about animals and training, which shows in her training and commitment to a science-based approach and focus on building trust. It’s done wonders for me and my dog.
Highly recommend!"
"We've used Jade for a year or two now and we keep coming back. She has helped so much with our dog training and really makes us feel heard and doesn't just give us a cookie cutter plan, she will listen to our individual needs and worries. She really takes time to explain things to us so we fully understand the methods and she doesn't make us feel judged when we have made past mistakes like some other trainers do! I recommend her to everyone! Our dog absolutely loves her too!"
"Jade is a natural talent. Jade genuinely loves every animal she meets. She is extremely talented, takes the time to really understand the dynamic, and makes sure to tailor each programme specifically to you and your furry friend needs. If you are seeking advice from a behaviourist, we couldn't recommend About Your Dog more, in fact I have recommended to many family and friends!"
Let's talk insurance
Choosing a Clinical Animal Behaviourist means that most insurance policies will allow you to claim back for your behaviour modification. So, it's always worth checking your policy before setting your budget! If you want me to take a look don't hesitate to ask, drop a message to my contact page.
