Canine Behaviourist - Through Eyes of Dogs
8 Lambourn Cl, Fareham PO14 1SL
07745145432
Living with a dog who is struggling can feel exhausting, confusing, and isolating. Behaviour such as aggression, anxiety, shutdown, avoidance, or intense responses to people, dogs, or everyday situations rarely appear without reason. These behaviours are signals of how a dog is coping, not flaws, defiance, or poor training. Through Eyes of Dogs supports dogs by looking beyond surface behaviour and focusing on the whole picture: emotional state, physical comfort, learning history, environment, and the human–dog relationship. My work is grounded in empathy, evidence and welfare, without judgement or quick-fix solutions. I’m Harriet Newman-Rose BSc (Hons), MSc, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist working under Through Eyes of Dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I know if a dog trainer is good?
A good trainer uses positive methods, communicates clearly, has strong reviews, and tailors training to your dog.


What is the best age to start dog training?
Training can begin as early as 8 weeks old. Early training leads to better long-term behavior.


Are online dog training courses effective?
They can be helpful for basics, but in-person training is usually better for behavioral issues.

It depends on the dog and the issue. Basic training can take a few weeks, while behavioral issues may take months.


Should I choose group classes or private training?
-
Group classes: great for socialisation
-
