Since I was a kid, dogs were a huge part of my life. I still remember how overjoyed I was getting my first dog, a dalmatian, and how I was given a stack of training books and told: She's your responsibility. I spent countless hours learning, observing, and practicing. It was my passion and my lifeblood.
Since then, I've taken my training to the next level, worked with many dogs including rescues, completed a mentorship programme led by country's leading trainers (Liam McArthur LM-K9 and Melissa Isidoro Paws-a-Minute), a variety of dog training courses led by Larry Krohn, Michael Ellis, Hans Verbruggen, Tom Davis, Will Atherton, Nino Drowaert, to name a few, and attended a vast number of seminars.
My passion has never been stronger and now I want to share everything I've learnt, every experience I've worked through, and every trick I've mastered along the way with others.
Learning From The Best
I believe in continuous growth and I will forever be on the path of learning more, learning from the industry leaders, and mastering techniques.
Guiding Values
At Pharaoh's Guidance, we understand that dogs are not born equal; they each possess unique personalities, experiences, and challenges. Our journey began with a profound appreciation for these differences, and it remains at the core of our approach. We firmly believe in embracing the individuality of every dog, tailoring our methods to suit their specific needs.​
Pharaoh's Canine Principles
Embrace Uniqueness
​Recognise that every dog and owner are one-of-a-kind, deserving of tailored training approaches.
Positive Reinforcement Prevails
Embrace positive reinforcement as the cornerstone of training, fostering a loving and respectful relationship between dog and owner.
Seek Expertise When Needed
If our methods cannot address a particular challenge, we pledge to seek out the right person or resources to help your dog and you.
We Cast No Judgment
Never judge or blame owners for their dogs' behaviour; instead, provide support and understanding.
Equipment as a Tool
Recognise that using appropriate training equipment can be a valuable tool when applied correctly and responsibly.
​No Bad Dogs
Understand that the majority of behaviour issues can be resolved through training and patience. Genetically driven issues can be addressed through maintenance.
Mistakes Are Learning Opportunities
Acknowledge that everyone, dogs and humans alike, makes mistakes, and that these errors can be valuable lessons on the path to improvement.
Harmonious Communication
Promote harmonious communication between owner and dog, emphasising clear cues and mutual understanding for effective training.
