About Abbie

Welcome to Abbie’s Dog Academy! I am the proud owner and ABTC Accredited Clinical Animal Behaviourist, specialising in dog reactivity and aggression.

I have dedicated my career to helping dogs and their owners build stronger, happier relationships. I’ve got extensive experience helping hundreds of clients and working with a wide variety of breeds.

I understand that dogs are beloved family members, and I recognise that behavioural challenges can be incredibly stressful for both our dogs and ourselves. I work closely with owners to tackle each dog’s unique issues, applying my expertise in canine behaviour.

To provide the best support possible, I prioritise ongoing education in science-based training methods through courses, webinars, and scientific literature. My goal is to help you and your dog build a strong, positive relationship using non-aversive, evidence-based techniques. Together, we can overcome challenges and achieve lasting results.

Happy Clients, Happy Doggies

I can highly recommend Abbie, she came to our house to help with some behaviour issues we were having with our dog Winston. She had a friendly approachable manner,was excellent with Winston and provided us with invaluable advice and training plan for Winston who is improving his behaviour after 2 days since Abbie was here. Excellent value for money.

I would highly recommend Abbie and her expertise and dog whispering ways! I reached out to Abbie when my life was stressful after inheriting my nieces 9mths old puppy and already having a 12 yr old stubborn Westie! All that Abbie taught us works 100% and has really changed our life for the better! Cannot thank you enough Abbie :-)

We researched a lot to get the right trainer for our Cavapoo puppy… Abbie came to us highly recommended and it was the best decision we made. Not only her resume is impressive and has great qualifications than other dog trainers in Scotland; she is also very patient, encouraging, and full of knowledge… Best decision ever! Would highly recommend! Thank you so much Abbie xx
