ABOUT ME
Welcome, I’m Ellie - the trainer behind Harmony Canine Behaviour & Training.
For the past five years I’ve worked with dogs every day. I started in a dog boarding kennels, then moved to Guide Dogs, where I’m a Dog Wellbeing Technician responsible for the health and wellbeing of Trainee Guide Dogs. I’ve also volunteered with experienced trainers across the North East, working with a wide range of dogs, breeds and behaviour issues.
Alongside this, I completed a Level 6 Diploma in Applied Canine Behaviour Management. Combining evidence-based theory with real-life experience means I can offer training that is effective, ethical and tailored to your individual dog.
I also live with my own rescue dog, a Cane Corso × Caucasian Shepherd. He began as a scared puppy who growled at staff and wet himself when meeting people – now he’s a friendly, confident companion. That journey shapes the empathy and understanding I bring to every case.
Whether you’re dealing with pulling on the lead, reactivity, anxiety, or simply want a calmer, more connected relationship with your dog, I’m here to help.
PHILOSOPHY
Science-Based Training
With over 5 years of experience in canine behaviour, I specialize in compassionate, ethical training techniques that build a lasting bond. My approach is rooted in science and empathy, ensuring every dog feels respected and every owner feels confident in their partnership. I believe that every dog should feel understood and safe, this is where we see long-lasting results.

Client Success
“
Already there has been a noticeable difference in Megs behaviour around people, which has been commented on by friends and neighbours. The practical session has been followed up with a comprehensive management and training plan which is easy to follow. I had lost a bit of confidence, but now I feel I have the tools to carry on with Megs development.

I contacted Ellie to improve my dogs and my training. A week later and already a vast improvement, less stress on walks and more fun. Also as a bonus the dogs are better in the house. I am looking forward to working with Ellie every week until I am fully trained! If you have any issues at all I can highly recommend.
