You are not here by accident.
Something brought you to this page.
Maybe you are struggling with your dog’s behaviour.
Maybe you have tried other trainers and nothing has stuck.
Maybe you are exhausted and just need someone who genuinely gets it.
You are in the right place. And you are not alone.
Hi, I’m Giulia!
I know what it feels like to try everything and still feel stuck. To love your dog completely and still find some days really, really hard. To wonder whether things will ever actually change.
You should not work with me because I am one of the most qualified dog behaviourists in Bristol. But because I care about your dog. And you.
I am an Accredited Canine Behaviourist and Qualified Animal Training Instructor based in Bristol, with over 7 years of professional experience working with dogs and their owners across all life stages — from the first weeks with a new puppy to complex behaviour cases that have resisted everything else.
I use only kind, ethical, evidence-based methods. No punishment. No dominance. No outdated techniques. Just a genuine commitment to understanding what is really going on — and helping you find a way forward that actually works.
When I brought Ruby home as a puppy, I did everything right. Puppy classes, adolescent training, workshops — I was committed from day one. And yet, after a few difficult encounters with other dogs, Ruby became fearful and anxious in ways I did not know how to help.
I remember the frustration. The worry. The loneliness of not knowing who to turn to or whether things would ever really change. I loved her completely — and I still felt like I was failing her.
With the right support, a clear plan, and consistency — Ruby transformed. She grew into a confident, happy dog who loves life. And I learned something that changed everything about how I work:
Even with the best intentions, the right guidance makes all the difference.
Ruby is the reason I do what I do. Her story is in every session I deliver, every report I write, and every message I send.
HOW I WORK
Ethical. Effective. Built around your dog.
Everything I do is grounded in the science of animal behaviour and learning. No dominance, no punishment, no outdated methods — just approaches that are proven to work and kind to your dog.
I don’t just address the behaviour you can see — I look at what’s driving it. Understanding your dog’s emotional experience is the foundation of any lasting change.
Training that works in a controlled environment but falls apart in real life isn’t training — it’s performance. Everything we work on is designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday life.
IS THIS RIGHT FOR YOU?
I’m the right trainer for you if…
You're feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice and want clear, professional guidance you can trust.
You value a thoughtful, structured approach that works in real life — not rigid rules that don't fit your lifestyle.
You're looking for 1-to-1 support tailored to your dog, rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
You want kind, ethical training that considers your dog's emotional wellbeing — not harsh and outdated methods.
You're open to longer-term, meaningful change and understand that lasting results come from consistency and support.
You want to build confidence and understanding — for both you and your dog — not just "fix" behaviours.
