"Karolina is amazing and her methods with dogs are the best I've seen"
".We've tried a few dog trainers, all with different training methods and none of them worked as well as this time , Our dog was very unsure and confused about the world - especially being social with other dogs, which caused him to be reactive. He now is able to play with dogs he previously would of struggled to greet! The progress he's made is amazing. She took us step by step through what his behaviour means and what we need to do as a result, and during the course she was so helpful even out of our sessions. Not only is she a good trainer, she's also very knowledgeable when it comes to noticing whether a dog may have some underlying pain - this is something we probably wouldn't have noticed this early on. Id highly recommend Karolina to anyone who wants to find the most rewarding and fun training for their dog that actually works"

Does this sound familiar?
Your dog barks, snaps or bites. You imagined an easy going life, but instead your dog drags you on lead, lunges at dogs, and doesn't listen. Maybe your dog is too afraid to even leave the house. Or you stopped having visitors at home. Navigating your dog's behaviour problems can be scary and embarrassing. But you don't have to do it alone.
We work with dogs who:
✅ Lunge, bark or react aggressively on lead
✅ Show fear, anxiety or nervous behaviour
✅ Have bitten, recently or in the past
✅ Jump up or destroy things at home
✅ Guard food, toys, space or people aggressively
✅ Pull, bolt, ignore recall or run off
✅ Are newly adopted, including fearful overseas rescues
All through kind, science based methods that strengthen your bond and don't compromise welfare.

"Resulted in huge behaviour change"
"Having spoken to numerous trainers, dog walkers, vets and other ‘experts’ in the dog world, Karolina was the only one who seemed to really understand the issues we were having. She picked up on things others had not, which resulted in a huge behaviour change in our dog. Karolina has a calm and measured approach and she is very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her!"

"Karolina is the best trainer we've had"
"I have a nervous Romanian rescue who at times has even struggled to leave the home, and Karolina's guidance has been invaluable in building up his confidence. He's nervous of new people but took to her immediately, and she has an incredible understanding of dog behaviour and body language. Her detailed follow-up documents go above and beyond and she's so supportive of me as a human, which is something I've not always experienced with other trainers. Cannot recommend Karolina enough!"
- Sara & Buddy
"Karolina has been working with my puppy and I for a month now and the differences are really showing. Her patient and consistent training advice and tips are invaluable and she is so enthusiastic and dedicated to her job. I can ask for help or advice any time and she is here for me and my puppy. I can 110% recommend Karolina, my puppy is a rescue and is anxious and reactive but Karolina knows exactly what to do"
- Amy & Titch
"Karolina has been a fabulous force of confidence for us whilst supporting our incredibly nervous rescue dog. Her techniques are kind and have enabled us to start to build a solid base. She is always available with endless patience and guidance to help us. We would not be where we are now without her help and would recommend her for people wanting a gentle and calm approach to their training."
- Laura & Bobbie
"I will recommend Karolina to absolutely anyone that needs help with a dog. She is so extremely knowledgeable, patient and caring. I’m so happy I found her. She gave us such detailed report after her visit with tips and tricks to help us with our rescue dog, plus she’s always available for any help needed afterwards. I couldn’t wish for a better trainer."

"Karolina has been amazing in helping me and my dog! I went to her to help me with some recall, distraction and anxiety issues. Karolina has such a calm and kind approach and her training technique is all about positive reinforcement and making the training fun and exciting for your dog. Building a stronger bond with your dog so they look to you for guidance. I will definitely be booking more sessions as I practice the techniques she has shown me. Already I have noticed such a difference on my dog walks, as Gamba's engagement with me has increased so much. I would reccomended her to anyone."
- Dylan & Gamba
"Karolina has been such a help with our two rescue dogs, including one who is an extremely fearful ex-street dog. Her expertise in dog behaviour, especially with foreign rescues, has been invaluable. She is kind and helpful and provides thorough behaviour reports and practical guidance. We really appreciate having her there to help with new challenges that arise. We couldn’t recommend her more highly for anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable dog behaviourist and trainer."
- Tanya & Nellie
"Karolina was incredible. We had a two hour consultation where she went through our dog’s history in great detail, helping us understand his behaviour. Most importantly she recommended we see a pain specialist as she noticed behaviour that indicated he might be in pain. She was bang on the money and it turns out our happy, excitable dog has actually been experiencing sciatica pain! We’re now able to get him the treatment he needs which means we’re all much happier."
- Jemma & Winston
"Karolina provides a thorough and in depth service to help the human understand their dog and its behaviour. She explains things simply and clearly and offers excellent guidance and advice to help train and develop the human and the dog. I really enjoyed the common sense approach to issues - Karolina helps you understand what is driving the behaviour which in turn makes it easier to understand how to behave and what to do. She has really helped us with our rescued Podenco and we have a much happier life with him as a result. Highly recommended.."
- Dave & Pepe
"I highly recommend Karolina if you need behavioural help with your dog. She is brilliant at what she does and has helped so much with our dog. We have a dog with reactivity challenges and she has helped us understand what’s happening with the behaviours and why and to implement a plan to work on improving his emotions around triggers. She is kind, compassionate and ethical and would recommend her to anyone who is needing behavioural help with their dog."
- Caroline & Apollo
"Karolina really helped us with our reactive dog. She identified that our dog had underlying hip pain, which is where a lot of her reactive behaviour was stemming from, which we had no idea about. She was always very helpful and gave us lots of tips and advice. Would 100% recommend her to others!"
- Nadia & Luna
"We have now sought Karolina’s support with 3 of our dogs and find her to be amazing! She listens and observes carefully, is so knowledgeable and kind and she provides comprehensive, practical advice which is easy to understand and follow. Everything is explained thoroughly and/or demonstrated and Karolina follows up regularly re: progress made. Nothing is too much trouble or question too small.
We wholeheartedly recommend Karolina!"
- Linda & Gary
"Cannot recommend Karolina enough. Before we came across her page we felt overwhelmed trying to understand our reactive dog, but she has completely changed our perspective and given us real hope. Karolina has taken the time to help us truly understand what drives our dog’s reactions and showed us ways to manage all of his issues, with a tailored training plan that she’s adjusted along the way when needed. We’re incredibly grateful for her support so far and would highly recommend her to anyone struggling with a reactive dog… We can now have calm and enjoyable walks which I didn’t think would be possible before!"
- Beccy & Stanley
""Amazing, honestly thought my dog was too far beyond being able to help given his age, and the behaviour going on for so long. I had one chance to sort it out before he was put to sleep, in a situation that wasn't even close to ideal. The improvement from the dog because of the incredible help from Karolina has been insane. Extremely grateful."
- Emma & Zeke
"Karolina has a wonderful understanding of dogs and the interaction with humans. She communicates her knowledge in such a way that is clear and easy to learn. We have a very young Labrador and just needed help with basic training for him and us! Karolina always follows up our sessions with clear notes and relevant videos to help us carry on with what she has taught us. We would always recommend her. Thank you Karolina 🐾"
- Mary & Lenny
"Karolina's consultation and training plan was extremely useful and using the techniques made an immediate difference to our dogs experience when out on a walk. It was reassuring to see that Karolina understood the differences between breeds and recognised traits specific to sighthounds. Karolina provided a detailed report after the consultation that we frequently refer back to. We now look forward to going out with our dog. "
- Annette & Sonny
"Karolina is fantastic, I have seen so much progress in my rescue Milo and in my confidence when handling him since starting sessions. She took all the stress and guilt away that I had been feeling with previous behaviourists which has had a positive knock on effect to Milo with both of us remaining much more settled on walks. She has provided me with all the tools and strategies I need to continue making progress for Milo, and she is more affordable than others out there! Milo still has progress to make but he is a completely different dog to when I first adopted him. I couldn't recommend Karolina and Whole Dog Behaviour highly enough!"
- Alix & Milo
"We've had a great experience working with Karolina. We live in the US and Karolina has been helping us through video calls, WhatsApp support and giving us feedback on all the videos we send. We have a large fear reactive dog, and although we know he is scared, his reactions can look scary to other people, so we wanted to make sure we feel safe handling him. Within just a few weeks we noticed a big difference in his reactions he went from immediately barking and lunging to being much less stressed, being able to safely walk past people, even people we met on corners with little space. Karolina helped us so much with understanding his behaviour, his communication and how to safely handle him while making sure he trusts us. She is always available for any questions we have, and we're so grateful she has been able to help us without using any harsh methods like other trainers recommended in the past. Would definitely recommend Karolina, even if you are not within travel distance of her!"

Honest Expectations
Is This Right For You?
Specialist 1:1 behaviour support isn't right for every situation. Here's how to know if it's right for yours.
✅ This is for you if...
✔️Your dog's behaviour is genuinely affecting your day to day life

✔️You would like a tailored approach, personalised to your dog and their unique behaviours
✔️You're prepared to invest properly in expert 1:1 support
🚫This may not be for you if...
❌You're looking for one off obedience tips or basic puppy class material
❌You want a single-session quick fix for a complex behaviour issue
❌You're hoping someone else can "fix" your dog without your involvement

"We reached out to Karolina for help with our border collie who was lunging and barking at cars. Although he isn't the biggest dog, when he lunges it was incredibly unsafe and difficult to handle him. During our consultation Karolina immediately noticed that his reactions were happening because of fear, and even noticed some issues with his movement and mentioned he was likely in some pain. She was right and he has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. We never would have known this without her, as he runs, plays and loves fetch. Even our vet didn't pick it up on our usual check-ups. She gave us a really personalised but easy plan to work on the reactions and to give him activities for herding, as being a pet dog he doesn't get to do much of that. I love that her methods focused on making him safe to manage but also making sure he isn't stressed. We have already seen so much progress, and now that his pain is better he is able to relax a lot more during our training. He can walk past cars at a reasonable distance and doesn't even flinch at the noises, whereas before he would freak out. We still have a few sessions left to keep working. I will always recommend Karolina for 121 training for anyone who needs help with their dog."
