Enrich Your Dog's Life: Transformative Training & Enrichment for Rescues with Heart & Mind.
Lovely to meet you!
Enrich Your Dog's Life: Guiding Rescue Dogs (and Their Humans) to Confidence & Joy.
Welcome to Enrich Your Dog’s Life! I’m Stephanie, a UK-based bilingual dog trainer passionate about helping rescue dogs overcome their pasts and truly flourish. With my own four diverse rescue dogs – from Middle Eastern street dogs (one is deaf) to a lovely senior Staffy X and an exempt XL Bully – I’ve walked the path of complex transformations.
My approach, rooted in the ‘Leading Your Dog with Heart & Mind’ framework, focuses on understanding your dog’s unique needs, building trust through compassionate connection, and providing effective enrichment and training to unlock their full potential.

- Get help from Someone who Knows and Understands Bully Breeds: Have you worked with different trainers and their advice didn’t work? Or maybe even encountered that trainers were a bit scared of your dog? I heard it all! If you’d like to work with someone who gets Bully Breed Dogs – gimme a call.
- Dealing with Judgment and BSL: I get it. I’m a dog mom to 2 beautiful Bully Dogs and I get treated very differently depending on which dogs I walk! The looks, the feeling that our dogs need to be way better behaved than any other breed, the blame, the muzzle shame … I get you and you don’t have to deal with any of this on your own! I’m an Executive Coach and worked with Leaders in Corporates before I trained dogs – YOU (the human) matter too to us!
