Training? But He's Not A Dog, He's A Greyhound!
I hear you. But if you’ve ever been stared at by a hound who refuses to move, dragged along like a sled on ice, or discovered your sofa has a permanent occupant, you may need a little help.
Your hound isn’t misbehaving, they’re trying to tell you something.
At Happy Humans, Happy Hounds, I help you to understand what your dog is really saying so they can relax and enjoy their retirement.
I never use gadgets or gimmicks; there's no shouting and no excessive use of treats, just kind, consistent guidance based on how your hound naturally thinks.
I will teach you how to have a calmer Greyhound, a calmer home, and a bond built on trust.
Karen is really approachable, kind and patient.
Very knowledgeable and passionate about her work.
Louise T with Chester and Jasper
This is a fantastic way to gently and successfully train dogs.
Just a couple of suggestions have made a big difference in his behaviour around walks and when I leave him.
Jennie D with Banksy
We'd tried shouting, bribing, and pleading. Karen's training didn’t involve any of that and, weirdly, it worked.
Both hounds are much calmer with each other and Chilli finally has reliable recall.
Tristan R with Chilli and Lucky
Thank you for all the help you have given me with training my puppy, it has helped so much.
Any questions I had you were always happy to answer.

Helping You Understand and Communicate with Your Dog
I help you to understand your hound’s behaviour from their point of view. It's not just reacting to what they do, but recognising why they do it.
I work with their instincts, not against them, using kind, natural principles that create trust and calm. It's not about dominance or bribery, just respectful, real-life communication that makes sense to both of you. In short, I translate Greyhound into human.
Common Problems I Help With
Pulling on the lead
Barking at anything that moves (or doesn't)
Separation anxiety and clingy behaviour
Jumping up at guests (or mugging the postman)
Ignoring commands (unless you have half a roast chicken in your back pocket)
General stress and overexcitement
If your hound is struggling, chances are you are too. This can be exhausting for the whole family, so let's change it.

"If you are looking for a powerful yet intuitive way of connecting with your dog then I fully recommend you have a chat with Karen about what she can share with you" - Doggy Dan
Find the Right Support for You and Your Hound
Initial consultations generally last three to four hours (longer if needed). This can be divided into two or three sessions if that suits you better. I will do three follow-ups with you and I offer long term support via phone or email and in our private online community The Happy Hounds Online Course.
