Welcome to Lucy and Olive Dogs
I help people in Cheltenham and surrounds with puppy training, dog behaviour, scent work and all aspects of life with your dog.
​
I work in Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Gloucester, Stroud, Winchcombe, Evesham and surrounding areas.
​
I own three dogs myself, Olive and Pickles the Chihuahuas and Ella the Whippet.
I believe in fostering strong bonds between dogs and their owners through personalised, empathetic, and effective one-on-one sessions. I use concept training to tailor sessions to meet each dog's unique needs, training your dog to cope with whatever comes their way.
​
Our mission together will be to empower you and your dog with confidence-building techniques, engaging play-based activities, and positive reinforcement methods.
As a qualified Scentwork UK judge I also offer scent work training, which can help strengthen the bond with your dog and provide enrichment for you both.
I work with dogs of all ages and sizes, plus all owners from new first time dog parents through to experienced owners. Each dog comes with it's own personality and training requirements, so even if you are a seasoned dog owner, you may find yourself with a new challenge!
​
I as a former psychotherapist specialise in the challenges faced by individuals experiencing PTSD, anxiety, or other mental health issues. Some individuals may need guidance in training their dogs but may struggle to attend traditional classes.
​
At Lucy and Olive Dogs, I offer a supportive environment where you can embark on a transformative journey to deepen your connection with your dog in the comfort of your home or preferred outdoor space.
​
My approach integrates my psychotherapist training, years of experience working with dogs, and a profound understanding of the healing power of the human-canine bond.
Whether you're uncertain about basic training, seeking to enhance your bond, or looking to enrich your dogs life, we're here to equip you with the necessary skills and guidance.

Where Learning Goes Beyond the Leash!
​
My unique walk service isn't just about exercising your dog; it's an opportunity for you to enhance your training skills in real-life situations.
​
Join me on a walk where I offer guidance and support as you practice learned skills amidst real-world distractions. It's a chance to reinforce training in a practical setting, boosting your confidence in handling your dog in various scenarios.
I prioritise fun and enriching experiences for both you and your dog. I believe that teaching your dog new skills and nurturing their well-being should be rewarding and enjoyable.
What Happens Next?
I like to meet you and your dog first and assess both of your needs. I will then create a tailored plan for us to work through together.
Both you and your dogs well-being matter, and if you’re both happy, your options are limitless!
