Sarama in Hindu Mythology is the Mother of all Dogs and Beasts of Prey
Maya is a born and bred North Londoner, Camden to be precise, so is keenly aware of the constraints a City puts on a dog and its owner.
Mainly how neutral he or she must be to truly enjoy a life in this big bustling city and
how creative you have to get training your dog.
I came to training dogs through a love of bonding with the ones I walked for neighbours and friends, the highlight for me was developing a lasting relationship with them through training, exploration and play. My first career being in Hospitality provided me with observation skills, the ability to analyse behaviour, adapt my communication and listen to the needs and wants of my client but most importantly it taught me patience. What drives my approach to training and developing a relationship with my client (both human and canine) is my innate curiosity to know the Why, I seek out as much knowledge as I can on dog behaviour, psychology, theories, practices, new as well as more developed ones to bolster my problem solving skills and find the one which will work for the unique dog and family who have come to seek my assistance. I am here to Coach you towards your goal of living cohesively together.
Testimonials
Michael & Nick, Oscar’s Parents
We have found Maya to be an absolute delight since she started walking Oscar, Her passion for dogs is boundless and her ability to train whilst also injecting huge amounts of fun is inspiring. Oscar goes supernova when she arrives and always whines after she leaves. Maya is incredibly professional, honest and such a wonderful careful person. We believe we’ve struck gold with her.
Ester, Parent of Luna
I cannot recommend Maya highly enough. She has been working with Luna - our bernedoodle - since she was 5 months. Luna is now 10 months. Maya has taught her (and us) to be polite around other dogs, not to jump, how to walk correctly, recall and many other things. Maya has never been late - and she sends messages, photos and videos after their walk and training. Most of all Luna gets so very excited when she sees her -the sign of a very happy dog!
Anna, Rocket’s Parent
I’m so happy we found Maya! Our 11 month old spaniel Rocket adores her, and we’ve learned so much. Her love for dogs is clear. Her approach is holistic, bringing together a dog’s mental physical, and emotional behaviours. She also understands different breeds and tailors her training to each dog individually, given their disposition, age, and environment. During our first session, she watched Rocket engage with us & other dogs, and her observations & suggestions were insightful & made a lot of sense. I love her dualfold training principle to help Rocket manage his impulses — whether pulling on lead or pursing other dogs — with other activities or mental exercises, which in turn connects him with us & helps our communication with him. In a few months he’s grown up so much! I understand him better & he‘s quicker to respond to me. He seems calmer, happier, and in control of himself. He’s a joy & a lot of that we owe to Maya. Thank you Maya!
