I provide one-to-one dog training sessions tailored to suit you and your dog’s individual needs. We typically begin in your home, where your dog is most comfortable, before progressing to real-world environments as needed. Training sessions are flexible and scheduled at times that work best for you, depending on your availability and how quickly your dog learns. I actively encourage all family members to participate – consistency is key, and everyone can play a part in your dog’s progress. Common training areas I can help with include: recall (coming when called), lead pulling, jumping up, stealing food from counters ...and other basic training challenges.
Initial assessment & consultation - up to 90 minutes (if no behavioural issues): £125.00. This includes a tailored training plan and implementation support for 1 month through whatsapp or email. Follow up sessions: £50 per hour.
Behavioural issues can be complex and distressing for both dogs and their owners. I offer personalised behaviour consultations to help identify the root cause of your dog’s behaviour and provide practical strategies to improve it. Behavioural concerns I work with include (but are not limited to) separation anxiety, generalised anxiety, reactivity, lunging on the lead, aggression, destruction in the home including chewing & digging, prey drive & chasing, barking at visitors and delivery persons, resource guarding of food/toys, inappropriate urination/defecation in the home and excessive barking.
Initial behavioural assessment & consultation: £375. This includes a behaviour modification plan and implementation support for 1 month through whatsapp or email. Follow up sessions: £75 per hour. Travel costs: If you live outside of Bournemouth, an additional £0.45p per mile applies.

Initial session: £75. Follow up sessions: £40. Travel charge: A mileage fee of £0.45 per mile applies for clients outside the Bournemouth area.

Travel charge: A mileage fee of £0.45 per mile applies for clients outside the Bournemouth area.
At Woofs of Bournemouth, every dog’s day is tailored to their individual needs – whether they’re staying for just one day or a full week. Take Mabel, for example – a wire-haired Dachshund who stayed with me for a week. Mabel can be a little nervous around other dogs, so during her stay we gently worked on her reactivity through positive reinforcement. Her days were filled with enrichment activities, stimulation toys, and long walks through beautiful Bournemouth and the nearby New Forest.
From high-energy breeds like Spaniels, Labradors, Retrievers, Collies, and Cockapoos, to more sensitive or quieter dogs like Mabel, I make sure every guest is kept happy, active, and supported. Whether it’s for a single day or a longer holiday, your dog’s stay will be one of fun, learning, and calm companionship.
“Karen can spot what's wrong with a dog, mentally or physically, as if it's telepathic. She has used TTouch to help with anxiety and stomach problems too. She absolutely adores dogs and is absolutely brilliant with them.” Nicky Ruggier
