About

My name is Delina.

I’m a professional behaviourist and founder of Trust in Dog.

My life is one that has been filled with animals of all shapes and sizes from an early age. I was brought up on a small holding, and have been heavily involved with horses and dogs throughout. My dad was always buying and selling horses and took in all kinds of dogs that were either neglected or had nowhere to go. 

So, I was surrounded by animals and eventually these became my passion. During those years I built up an understanding of how and why dogs behave the way they do. It just became natural to me and dogs seem to have a connection and we seem to ‘get’ each other. 

So, because of this understanding I’ve spent years in close contact with dogs through dog boarding and re-homing, quietly building up more knowledge and that led me gaining an accreditation in canine behaviour and training. Experience over the years has taught me compassion, patience and a deep respect of the way dogs see the world. 

How they always forgive even after being badly treated, they can still wag a tail. We must learn to understand their language if we want to succeed and that’s part of my job, teaching owners how the dogs brain works.

What makes us different

One to one session designed for you.

After a thorough free consultation, I will give you and your dog my full attention for the time you are with me. You will gain in-depth knowledge that will get to the root of your dog’s issues. I will endeavour to give you insights into canine behaviour that you won’t get anywhere else and this will build your confidence. 

You will learn how to handle your dog, and hopefully you will go home feeling much happier than when you came. We will cover all kinds of methods from play, and engagement, positive reward-based learning and corrections. 

You must have all these at your disposal to gain your dog’s trust and to get them to listen to you when you go home. Quick fixes don’t work. Time and follow through is essential to keep your dog’s attention and to get the changes you need

Let me help you and your dog.
