About
Hello!
I’m Ali and I’m really glad you’ve found your way to my website.
Dogs are my joy & their wellbeing is my passion 🥰
I help humans understand their dogs’ silent language of interaction, body language & energy ✨
Since 2012, I’ve guided clients to improve their relationships with their dogs, building on my experience as a Jan Fennell- and Tony Knight- trained Dog Listener, then setting up the Calmer Canine Cooperative and, more recently, co-founding the School for Professional Dog Listeners.
My personal journey – living and volunteering with rescue dogs, navigating personal health challenges, and becoming an Animal Reiki teacher – has deepened my understanding of the human-canine bond. I offer practical tools alongside gentle and positive guidance to transform chaotic relationships into peaceful partnerships.
Whether you’re welcoming a puppy, supporting a rescue, or resolving long-standing issues, I’m here to help. My approach blends proven techniques with compassionate energy work, empowering you to create calm, secure lives for both you and your dog.
Join my community for ongoing support and insights. Ready to start? Discover the essential first step to understanding dogs. I also invite you to explore the School for Professional Dog Listeners, a collaboration dedicated to advancing canine communication. Let’s work together for happier, healthier dogs.
With love
Ali

Testimonials
"She gave me invaluable advice on how to improve MY skills so that my rescue dog Martha would trust my decision making and not feel forced to take the lad. What a contrast to other dog behaviourists who have advocated forcibly dominating my dog."
Liz, South Wales
“We are so appreciative of your help with our dogs, Ali, thank you. We know the amount of time you have dedicated to their rehoming when all the time you are busy with so many other strands in your life. It's not uncommon for people to tell us “I never thought of it in the way Ali explained. Understanding the dog's perspective and the impact of our approach and behaviour on our dog has been invaluable. Us making the changes recommended has made a huge difference”.

“Ali, how can I thank you enough for everything you’ve done to get Dog X this far. You really are amazing. It was such a concern that she wouldn’t be able to get over her severe guarding and aggression around her food, but with your dedication and expertise, she has, and now her wonderful fosterers want to sign the adoption papers meaning she has her forever home.”
