We couldn't recommend karolina enough, she is amazing with our bully x dog de bordeaux, she has looked after him a number of times now and each time we can tell he has been so looked after! He loves going to see her and toro shows each time he has improved on walking and behaviour whilst being on the lead ! We always feel safe when he is with karolina and trust he is in good hands 😁

I had the pleasure of working with Karolina, and I can't recommend her highly enough! From the very first session, her expertise, patience, and genuine love for dogs were evident. She took the time to understand my dog's unique personality and behavior, and her tailored approach made a noticeable difference. Thanks to Karolina’s guidance, my dog is now more confident, well-behaved, and happy. She is professional, compassionate, and truly passionate about her work. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog behaviorist, Karolina is the best choice!

Karolina is a true professional with exceptional sensitivity and understanding of canine behaviour. She worked with my German Shepherd, Tyson – a large, strong dog with a fairly complex personality – and managed to build a solid connection with him right from the start. That’s not something you see every day. Her approach was calm, confident, and focused. Rather than offering generic advice, she observed Tyson carefully and provided practical, well-reasoned suggestions that made sense – and more importantly, actually worked. What I appreciated most was her ability to explain things clearly and simply, without unnecessary theory, and with great respect for both the dog and me as his handler. If you're looking for someone reliable, committed, and genuinely skilled – I can wholeheartedly recommend Karolina.

What services does Dog Behaviourist Online offer?Dog Behaviourist Online offers virtual behaviour consultations for dog owners with pets having behaviour issues. The consultations include expert advice and personalized behaviour training or modification plans tailored to the dog's needs.
-
How do I deal with reactivity in my dog?Reactivity is often a symptom of fear or insecurity. Instead of punishing the reaction, help your dog feel safer. Use distance, calm environments, and reward-based counterconditioning. Focus on helping your dog feel in control and understood, not suppressed. Over time, their reactions will reduce as their confidence builds.
-
Why does my dog bark non-stop, and how can I stop it?Barking is communication. It could mean boredom, alertness, frustration, anxiety, or excitement. The first step is to identify the trigger. Then meet the underlying need—whether that’s more mental stimulation, security, or attention. Teaching a “quiet” cue is useful, but addressing the reason for barking is what really stops it.
-
What’s the difference between obedience training and behaviour training?Obedience training teaches skills like sit, stay, and recall — and it’s great for structure and everyday life. Behaviour training, on the other hand, focuses on emotional challenges that affect how your dog sees and reacts to the world. It helps with more complex issues like aggression, anxiety, over-excitement, or obsessive behaviours. Sometimes, your dog doesn’t need more commands — they need support understanding how to feel better first.
-
How do I stop my dog from pulling on the lead?Start by understanding why your dog pulls—usually because pulling gets them where they want to go faster. The key is to break that pattern. Stop or change direction the moment the leash goes tight, and reward your dog only when the lead is loose. Use patience, positive reinforcement, and consistent boundaries. Avoid tools that cause discomfort—they may stop the pulling temporarily, but often create tension and frustration long term.
-
How can a dog behaviourist online help change my dog’s behaviour?A dog behaviourist looks beyond surface-level problems to understand why your dog is behaving a certain way. Whether it’s reactivity, separation anxiety, guarding, fear, or frustration, I use science-backed methods to gently reshape your dog’s emotional responses. Rather than simply stopping unwanted behaviour, I help your dog feel safer, more confident, and able to make better choices — without force, fear, or quick fixes.

Can rescue dogs be trained just like puppies?Yes—sometimes even better! Rescue dogs often need decompression time, consistency, and patience. While puppies are blank slates, rescue dogs may have trauma or habits to unlearn. Once trust is built and their emotional needs are met, they often thrive with kind, structured training and enrichment that fits their personality.
