How I can help

I support dogs and their families with a wide range of behaviour struggles, from everyday challenges to more complex emotional needs. Every dog is unique -  so the way we support them should be too. I offer tailored behaviour consultations and 1:1 puppy training designed to build confidence, reduce stress, and help both ends of the lead feel calmer and more connected.

Behavioural struggles I can help with include:

  • Reactivity towards dogs or people
  • Fear, anxiety, or frustration
  • Separation-related behaviours
  • Resource guarding and aggression
  • Multi-dog household tension
  • Over-arousal and difficulty settling
  • Early-life socialisation and confidence
  • Emotional or cognitive changes in senior dogs
  • Trauma-related behaviours and emotional recovery

Meet Amy

I’m Amy Lacey - a certified canine behaviourist, qualified trainer, and zoologist based in the New Forest. My passion is helping dogs and their people move from stress and struggle to understanding and trust through science, play, and compassion.

 

With nearly two decades of experience in animal behaviour, welfare, and conservation, I bring both scientific insight and empathy to every case. I work with all aspects of behaviour - from reactivity and separation anxiety to fear, frustration, and multi-dog dynamics - using force-free, welfare-led methods that focus on emotional safety, choice, and confidence-building.
