Kind, science-led dog training and behaviour support in South Wales
Dog training that supports both ends of the lead
Kind, practical and science-led support for puppies, adolescent dogs, rescue dogs and dogs who need a little extra help navigating the world.
We Are Muttley Crew Dog Training
We help you understand what’s really going on beneath your dog’s behaviour, then turn that understanding into kind, practical training that works in real life.
So you can feel calmer, more confident, and start enjoying life with your dog again.
Life with a dog is meant to feel joyful, beach walks, park picnics, muddy adventures and cosy sofa cuddles.
But when your dog struggles, life can feel much harder than you expected. Walks become stressful, visitors feel tricky, days out seem impossible, and you may find yourself avoiding the very things you hoped to enjoy together.
The good news? It doesn’t have to stay that way.
With kind, practical support, we’ll help you understand your dog, reduce the stress, and start building a calmer, happier life together.
Hello, nice to meet you, I’m Chrissy.
I’m the trainer and behaviour geek behind Muttley Crew Dog Training.
I help dogs and their humans build calmer, happier lives together using kind, science-led, reward-based training.
My work is about more than teaching dogs to “behave.” I want to help you understand what’s going on underneath the behaviour, support your dog’s emotional wellbeing, and build skills that actually work in real life.
There’s no fear, force, intimidation or outdated dominance nonsense here, just practical support, clear guidance and a big focus on helping both ends of the lead feel more confident.
MY APPROACH
We look at the whole dog, not just the behaviour you see on the surface.
Behaviour is never random. Your dog’s environment, emotions, health, stress levels, routine and previous experiences can all influence what you see on the surface.
That’s why we look beyond the behaviour itself and focus on understanding what your dog needs in order to feel safer, calmer and more able to cope.
Dog behaviour science is always evolving. The more we understand about how dogs learn, feel and experience the world, the better we can support them.
At Muttley Crew, we turn behaviour science into practical, achievable training, helping you understand your dog, build real-life skills and feel more confident together.
