Dog Behaviourist Leeds — Helping You Understand Your Dog's Behaviour
Force-free, personalised behaviour support for owners who want to understand their dog — not just stop the behaviour.
When your dog's behaviour is difficult to understand, it can leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next.
I take a whole-dog approach to behaviour, looking at your dog's emotions, environment, experiences, needs and individual personality to understand why the behaviour is happening.
Together, we'll create practical solutions that fit into your everyday life and help you and your dog move forward.
Based in Leeds, supporting owners across Pudsey and surrounding areas.
Does this sound like you?
You love your dog, but sometimes their behaviour is difficult to understand.
Maybe you're dealing with:
🐾 A nervous or worried dog
Your dog lacks confidence or finds certain people, places or situations difficult.
🐾 A dog who struggles to settle
Your dog becomes easily overwhelmed, overexcited or struggles to switch off.
🐾 Difficult walks
Pulling, overexcitement or difficulty focusing is making walks less enjoyable.
🐾 Recall problems
You want your dog to have more freedom but you're worried they won't come back when called.
🐾 Puppy challenges
You're trying to navigate the early stages of life with your puppy and want to get things right from the beginning.
🐾 Behaviour you simply don't understand
Something has changed, or your dog's behaviour isn't what you expected, and you're not sure why.
Whatever you're struggling with, the first step is understanding why your dog is behaving this way.
About Ashleigh
My journey into canine behaviour began during four years working in the veterinary industry, where I saw first-hand how deeply behavioural issues can affect dogs and their families. Over time, this experience shaped my commitment to better understanding behaviour and finding more supportive, effective outcomes for dogs in need.
I have since specialised in canine behaviour, achieving a Distinction in the Level 4 Advanced Canine Behaviour Diploma through the British College of Canine Studies, and I am currently progressing through the Level 5 Advanced Animal Behaviour Diploma.
My aim is to help owners understand their dogs, build their confidence and find practical solutions that work within everyday life. I work with the dog in front of me, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
Dog Behaviourist Leeds — Personalised Behaviour Support
Behavioral Consultations
A personalised starting point for you and your dog
The initial consultation is a 90-minute one-to-one session designed to give us the time to properly understand your dog's behaviour and what you're experiencing at home and in everyday life.
Before we meet, you'll complete a questionnaire so I can learn more about your dog, their history, routine and the concerns you'd like support with.
During the consultation, we'll discuss:
-
What behaviour you're seeing and when it happens
-
How long you've been experiencing it
-
What may be influencing the behaviour
-
Your dog's individual needs, environment and routine
-
What you've tried previously
-
What you'd like to achieve
We'll work together to understand why the behaviour may be happening, rather than simply focusing on stopping the behaviour.
The session can take place at your home, out in the environment or online, depending on what is most appropriate for you and your dog.
Following the consultation, I'll provide you with a personalised behaviour plan and relevant resources, giving you practical steps to begin putting things into place.
And you don't have to do it alone.
Once you've started working through your plan, we can review how things are going, discuss anything you're finding difficult and make changes where needed.

What my clients say
Choosing someone to support you and your dog is a big decision. Here's what some of my clients have said about their experience.
“
I can’t recommend Ashleigh enough! From day one, she made me feel completely comfortable — never once judging me or my dog, no matter how many questions I had or how many mistakes we made along the way. Their knowledge is incredible; they explain everything clearly and tailor the training to what your dog actually needs.
What really sets them apart is how affordable their services are without ever compromising on quality. I genuinely feel like I got expert-level support at a price that didn’t break the bank. My dog has improved so much, and I feel more confident as an owner thanks to their guidance. A fantastic experience all round! Walking Ralph now is now enjoyable once again and I know that Ashleigh is just at the end of the phone should I need it.

Ashleigh is very friendly and knowledgeable about behavioral issues. She listens to what the problem is, makes suggestions and then demonstrates this. She has a good understanding of Dog behaviours which is evident in her force free methods.
