Online dog training & behaviour specialist
Practical, online training for urban dogs and their humans
City life is noisy, busy, and… let’s be honest, not exactly designed for dogs.
From buses whoosh-ing past to café crowds and flat neighbours who hear everything to a massive amount of triggers meeting you and your dog as soon as you leave your porch.
That’s where City Dog Skills coaching comes in.
I help dog parents across the UK & Europe (yep, online training really works!) tackle the everyday struggles of raising a dog in the city — so you can enjoy calmer walks, café hangs, and stress-free daily life.
When choose online training?
Are you tired of feeling stressed every time you walk your dog in the city?
Exhausted by the pulling, lunging, barking, or the guilt that your pup just isn’t “coping” in busy streets?
Or maybe you just want to enjoy a coffee in peace without your dog acting like the world’s ending every time someone walks past.
You probably also attended dog training classes and maybe even had multiple 1:1 sessions with a trainer but not much is changing once you and your dog face the real world.
Here's why you should choose online coaching with me:
-
Personalised guidance → enough of traditional “sit, stay, heel.” You’ll get a plan that works for your dog and your real-life city routine once we analyse your specific case.
-
Support between sessions → honestly, this is what makes the biggest difference. You get check-ins, feedback, video reviews, so you don’t feel stuck or have to wait for another 1:1 session.
-
Accountability → behaviour change doesn’t happen overnight and motivation drops. I’ll keep you on track so you actually do the training and see results. My clients named this as one of the most helpful things about online coaching!
-
Proven approach → I have specifically worked with city dogs and their humans for over 5 years now in multiple countries: Scotland, England, Spain, Lithuania, to name a few. I use science-based methods that work in the real world: noisy streets, tiny flats, busy cafés. Not just in a sterile training hall.
Testimonials
"I cannot recommend Sky enough. Her classes are fun and educational for both owners and pups! Sky is just full of knowledge and experience and it really shows in her courses.
I’ve got a wee Dachshund pup who we took to another training course before. Unfortunately, those classes didn’t really suit us and our pup’s needs. It could have been that she was too young, it could have been her stubborn breed traits, I really don’t know. I felt like paying for dog training would be a waste of time. However, I accidentally stumbled across Sky online.
Since starting Sky’s classes, my wee pup can go on the train, and walk past people in the street without jumping up at them, among other things. One of the big wins for me though was being able to take my pup to a cafe, sit outside next to a busy street, and eat my entire lunch in peace! Such a big win.
There is still a lot to work on, but I’m so happy with the progress we’ve made in such a short space of time. Not to mention what a lovely soul Sky is too. She’s so approachable and is happy to help with any issues/questions you might have. She explains things well and it’s clear that she has a genuine love and passion for what she does.
If you’re thinking of booking into something, honestly just do it! :)"

Chispa Dogs reviews:
Working with Sky has been an absolute game changer for us and our puppy!
Our working breed puppy struggled to relax which made leaving him alone or even working around him difficult, as he was always on the go. Sky's knowledge and understanding of different dogs characteristics meant she was able to give us tailored, workable training which means we now have a puppy who can relax whilst we work, stay in a room on his own and be around the cat. It is worth mentioning we have only been doing the relax training for 2 weeks and noticed a difference within a couple of days.
I would highly recommend Sky as a trainer, honestly working with her has been the best thing we have done for us and our puppy!
Amie & Monty
Sky is a genuine and kind hearted girl, she clearly has a beautiful bond with all animals! She isn’t just there to walk and train your dog she’s more than just a service , she becomes your friend and part of the family! She has shared lots of great information over the year of having Bao- a very energetic doggo! I can’t wait to get her to help with more training soon!
Suzie & Bao
Sky has been a great guide and source of advice and support with training our West highland white terrier. Unfortunately, we heard about her classes a bit late, when Hedwig was already a teenager, so we didn't do the puppy clases with her. But we have done 1-2-1 s and plenty of online classes that we just love! We couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Sarah & Hedwig
I can't recommend Sky enough. Our nervous mini dachshund has grown in confidence so much largely thanks to Sky's guidance. We keep going back now because there's always something to work on and our dog gets so much out of the various lessons she has to offer.
Andrea & Link
Sky is an amazing trainer! She’s helped my reactive rescue gain so much confidence and keep calm in stressful situations. He’s like a whole new dog since we’ve met her! Sky is always positive and willing to go the extra mile. We feel so lucky to have met her!
Sarah & Kostas
Sky is absolutely brilliant! She knows her stuff inside out and is a great teacher. She's supportive and helpful and makes training fun.
