About Gio

Positive, reward-based dog training in South East London

Helping dogs and their people build calm,

practical skills for everyday life.

Former Battersea Dogs & Cats Home trainer

A no-pressure call about your dog

I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between dogs and their people, and how the right support can completely change everyday life for both.

Working at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home gave me experience with dogs of different backgrounds, personalities, and challenges, and showed me how much clear communication, patience, and practical training can help.

Today, I focus on helping owners build calm, reliable behaviours that work in real life, both at home and outdoors.

I believe training should feel clear, achievable, and enjoyable for both dogs and their people.
