Will it actually work for my dog? I've tried everything else.
This workshop offers an introduction to what is possible when combining essential oil use with behavioural strategies and environmental management. This holistic method addresses both physiological and psychological fear responses, proving effective for dogs unresponsive to single-focus methods. We aim to build genuine resilience, not just mask fear.
Are essential oils really safe for my dog?
Yes they are, like everything they need to be used correctly, but when advised by someone trained in their use like myself then they are not only safe but very effective too.
I don't have enough time/I'm too busy. I hear you.
The last thing you need is a complicated, time-consuming training plan. That's why I've designed this workshop with some easy-to-follow, practical steps that you can implement right away. This isn't a long, academic course; it's a way to 'get-it-done' plan. The exercises are simple, fun, and can be easily incorporated into your existing routine. I focus on quick wins and effective strategies that are designed to fit into a busy life. I’ll give you a way to get a plan to follow, not a long manual to read.
I'm not good at training/I don't know how to handle my dog.
That's a very common feeling, and it's completely understandable. The last thing you want is to feel like you're doing something wrong or making your dog's anxiety worse. This workshop is designed for people just like you—dog owners, not dog trainers. You don't need any special skills or previous training experience. The entire workshop is focused on simple, step-by-step strategies that are easy to follow and fit into your life.
I'll show you:
- How to understand your dog through their eyes, ears and nose.
- Easy, fun exercises that build confidence without pressure.
- Exactly how to use essential oils safely.
My goal isn't to turn you into a professional trainer; it's to empower you with a clear, gentle plan so you feel confident and in control—not overwhelmed.
What if my vet/another professional disagrees with essential oils?
That's an excellent and very responsible question to ask. It's so important to be an advocate for your dog's safety and well-being. The reason you'll hear conflicting advice is often due to a lack of understanding about how to use essential oils safely and effectively with dogs. Many professionals are rightly concerned about the misinformation and dangerous practices they see online, which can lead to a blanket recommendation to avoid them entirely. My approach is different because I was trained by a veterinarian in the proper use of essential oils for animals. We focus on a safety-first philosophy that is a world away from unsafe practices.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
- How to choose essential oils that are safe for a dog's sensitive system.
- The safest application methods, like diffusion in an open area, which is very different from ingesting oils or applying them topically in a harsh way.
- A complementary approach that is designed to support your dog's emotional state without ever replacing professional veterinary care.
My goal is to give you trusted, vet-backed knowledge so you can feel confident and informed.
You'll be using essential oils as a safe and gentle tool, not as a questionable alternative to professional advice.
Will it be too complicated/overwhelming?
This workshop is designed to be simple and easy to follow. I've broken some key techniques into clear, manageable steps. My goal isn't to overwhelm you with information. It's to give you a practical, actionable plan that you can start using right away, so you can stop feeling helpless and start feeling confident.
My dog hates new smells/experiences.
I offer a comprehensive approach to help dogs build confidence and resilience to new smells and experiences. This involves using safe essential oils, behavioural strategies, and environmental management to address both physical and emotional responses, rather than simply masking fear.

I am an emergency medicine doctor who has a strong passion for holistic health and the benefits that essential oils confer play a strong role in my life and that of my dogs. I am also qualified in Canine Massage Therapy, an Animal Aromatherapy Specialist and registered as a consultant on The Essential Oil Vet Network, training to be a behaviourist and a Canicross Instructor.
I first used oils for natural skincare and then discovered their true benefit in helping my blind dog with her fear. I now use daily for various needs whether they are my canine athletes or disabled dogs or me!
