Phoebe | The Rural Dog Trainer

Hello! I’m Phoebe.

My mission is to help you and your dog navigate the real world with confidence. Whether you’re walking through quiet country lanes or dealing with the distractions of rural life, I’m here to ensure your dog is a focused, happy companion.

15 Years of Experience | 5 Years of Specialist Training

My life has been dedicated to dogs for the last 15 years. I’ve worked across every corner of the industry—from boarding kennels and doggy daycares to working at Staffordshire’s premier residential training facility. For the last 5 years, I have focused exclusively on professional dog training, helping everything from beloved family pets to high-level service dogs find their balance.

Born from Experience (and a very reactive Collie)

My true passion for training didn't come from a textbook; it came from my own reactive Border Collie. She was my greatest teacher. In the beginning, I made mistakes—the same ones many of you might be making now. Those challenges forced me to dive deeper into canine behavior and discover what actually works in the real world. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know exactly how to lead you out of them.

My Vision for Us

Building a Rural Community

I want to create a supportive family of like-minded owners who share the unique challenges and joys of training in rural environments. You aren't alone in your training journey.

Confidence in Every Environment

My goal is to provide you with the tools and techniques to handle any situation. I want you to feel as confident in a busy field as you do in your own garden.

Simplifying the Journey

Dog training shouldn't be a mystery. I provide clear, stress-free coaching that cuts through the noise, helping you avoid the struggles I faced and getting you straight to the results.

Transforming Lives, One Paw at a Time

At The Rural Dog Trainer, I don’t believe in "one size fits all." Every dog and owner is a unique team. I pride myself on a tailored approach that respects your dog’s personality and your lifestyle.

Let’s start this journey together.

I’m here to guide you toward a brighter, calmer future, helping you become the confident leader your dog needs.
