Qualified Dog Trainer & Behaviour Technician, covering Taunton, Wellington & Bridgwater, Somerset.

Hi, I’m Hayley.  I established All for Woofs in 2023 to provide dog training within Taunton and surrounding areas of Somerset.

I use only ethical, science led, reward based training methods; I believe training should be fun, compassionate and welfare friendly for dogs and their humans.

I am a full member of the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT) and a registered Animal Training Instructor (ATI) and Animal Behaviour Technician (ABT) with the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC). This means my knowledge and practical skills have been formally assessed and I am committed to ongoing professional development to ensure my skills remain up to date so you and your dog can benefit from expert guidance and support.

I have experience with many different breeds from working in dog boarding and volunteering in rescue. In 2024 I became a volunteer trainer with Dog A.I.D, coaching clients with their own dogs towards Assistance Dog accreditation.

I have over 15 years experience working in Education. I gained a PGCE (Post Compulsory Education and Training) in 2016 and have taught in both the Post-16 sector and Out of School settings, building a range of skills to help while coaching you and your dog.

Why choose All for Woofs?

Ethics

Working with an honest, authentic and reliable professional, with integrity and a commitment to welfare focused training.

Expertise

With up to date knowledge underpinned by practical experience, I offer simple, adaptable solutions to help you and your dog.

Understanding

An optimistic, calm and patient approach, working with you to support your partnership with your dog.

Just like you, I love life with a canine companion, there’s not a day goes by that my dog doesn’t bring me laughter and genuine joy.

However, I also know that sometimes the struggles are real, whether that’s being pulled along on every walk, your lovely dog seemingly oblivious to the human trailing helplessly behind them or the frustration, embarrassment or exhaustion of not knowing how to help your dog feel safe and confident.

My vision at All for Woofs is not just about training your dog or fixing unwanted behaviours, but to help you gain clarity, confidence and true understanding of your furry friend. 

I support you to gain insight into your dog’s communication and develop skills to apply simple, kind and effective training so you can not only live in harmony with your dog, but truly find joy in your training journey with them.

So, if you’d like to teach your dog some new skills or support them with something they find a bit challenging and you’re committed to using positive, force free methods, I’m here to help
