Shona – NeMo Accredited Dog Trainer in Barnsley, South Yorkshire
Passionate, professional, and dedicated, I bring over three years of experience to the world of dog training. As a NeMo Accredited Dog Trainer, I offer specialized services throughout Barnsley and South Yorkshire, transforming the lives of dogs and their owners alike. My love for dogs is both passionate and committed.
Services Offered:
- Reactivity Training
- Lead Pulling Correction

- Obedience Training
- Socialisation Training
Training Philosophy:
I practice the NeMo (Negative Motivational) Training System, embracing a balanced approach to dog training. This method focuses on quickly addressing and correcting undesirable behaviours, with a particular emphasis on improving daily walks from the very first session. I believe that rectifying the daily walk is the most vital part of training, laying the foundation for a harmonious relationship between you and your dog.
Success Stories:
One of my most rewarding achievements is the transformation of my own rescue dog—a full Czech German Shepherd from Oxford. Abandoned and highly reactive, the dog was dominant, nervous, and uncomfortable around people and other dogs. Through 18 months of dedicated, structured training and ample exercise, I rehabilitated her into a confident and sociable companion.
Why Choose Me:
- Professional and Friendly Service: I offer a welcoming and supportive environment for both dogs and their owners.
- Rapid Behavioural Improvement: My expertise allows me to address and correct undesirable behaviours quickly, often making significant progress from the first session.
- Personal Experience: Having successfully trained my own challenging dogs, I understand the struggles owners face and am passionate about helping others achieve similar results.
