I help people understand the whole dog, not simply manage behaviour.

Jess Jones

Welcome to

Asphodel Canine Guidance

Are you on high alert every time you leave the house? Do you apologise to strangers constantly or are tired of being told that you’re overreacting? If you’re feeling guilty that your dog is suffering and are feeling stuck, that’s where I come in!

Reset

We start to understand your dog's nervous system, help reduce overwhelm, build emotional safety and establish starting foundations.

Rebuild

We teach your dog to better process their environment and recognise safety. They will develop new skills and a much calmer demeanor.

Regain

Your dog's confidence grows, and so does your trust. This step focuses on rebuilding their resiliency and real-world confidence in public.

Nurture

We provide long-term support to help maintain your dog's progress, help you navigate setbacks and support continued learning.

About Me

How can I best support you and your dog?

🖤 I get it. I understand the guilt, the exhaustion, the frustration. I’m not judging you. I’m standing beside you.

🧠I stay current with the latest research, to help find what actually creates lasting change.

🐾 I accept complex cases. Rescue, reactive, anxious or fearful dogs. Dogs with bite history. I work with cases others have given up on.

🤝You’re not just a client. I celebrate your wins and support you through tough moments. I stay alongside you through the messy middle.

Case Studies

Every dog has a story

Untitled design (1)

Dog Name - Rescue

Dog Breed
After being recused from a difficult home, DOG suffered bad anxiety and was fearful of unfamiliar people or environments. Building confidence and positive affirmation helped them feel more comfortable in everyday life.
Untitled design (2)

Dog Name - Biting History

Dog Breed
DOG would be prone to biting whenever feeling threatened, making walks, visitors and homelife challenging. Trigger awareness and reward-based training helped their owner manage DOG's behaviour and keep calm.
Untitled design

Dog Name - Reactive

Dog Breed
DOG was highly reactive & sensitive to other dogs, causing outbursts of barking lunging & pulling on the lead. Introducing gradual exposure to other dogs & positive reinforcement helped make every walk manageable and enjoyable.
