Hi, I'm Kelly - Dax’s Human and Founder of Dax’s Doggos
- I started my journey working with dogs years ago, having pet dogs as well as fostering many dogs of all ages and breeds. However, when a dog called Dax came into our lives, a very sensitive dog who needed a very different approach. He inspired me to do more, do better and learn more. Our journey with Dax made me realise that I wanted to help others with their dog training, to set them up for success and so Dax’s Doggos was born.
Our Philosophy & Ethics
I am a force-free dog trainer who uses science based, positive reinforcement techniques in training. Focusing on rewarding and reinforcing desired behaviours.
The goal being to help dogs learn and thrive in a positive and compassionate environment, creating a harmonious relationship between dogs and their humans. There are no bad dogs, there are no lost causes, there are no punishments and most importantly no judgement!

OUR REVIEWS
What People Say
Qualified dog professional to look after "quirky" dogs like mine 🙂 I am so glad we found Kelly! As a fellow dog professional I find it incredibly hard to find someone qualified, reliable and trustworthy I can trust with my own dogs. Kelly has just looked after my gang for the first time and I was amazed how all of my dogs accepted her to our home, as this has been a challenge with some people. I had daily updates, photos, videos, which really helped with my worries whilst I was away from my babies. I was able to have a stress free holiday knowing my pupsters are happy and stress free too ! Thank you Kelly ☺️
We had a puppy 121 with Kelly as this was our first time owning a pup. She was very knowledgeable, conveyed information in a way that was easy to understand and helped create an action plan for us to focus on. We trust her completely!
All I can say is that Kelly is amazing and everything about our dog sitting experience far exceeded expectations. Her love for dogs is tangible and her knowledge is incredible - and it was a bonus that she was happy to share tips and ideas to help us. The most telling thing for us is that Basil was the same dog as he was before we left to go on holiday so he’d clearly been a happy boy and not had any major routine changes (before the sit Kelly is meticulous about going through routine etc). He’d previously had the experience of one night in kennels and took 5 weeks to recover! This was a challenging sit in many ways but Kelly coped with everything wonderfully. It was great to receive daily updates/photos/videos while we were away. She also looked after the house brilliantly - it was immaculate! I would wholeheartedly recommend Kelly -we all thought she was great, but especially Basil - he has a new best friend!
