YOUR HOLLAND PARK PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER


My name is Rose Guyod. I was born in the north of the Philippines, and dogs have been part of my life from a very young age

I first became professionally involved with dogs while living in Hong Kong, where I helped care for and rehabilitate a dog who had lost one of his back legs following an accident. Helping him regain his confidence made me realise how naturally I connected with dogs and inspired me to pursue dog training professionally

After moving to the UK, I completed professional dog training courses and developed extensive practical experience working with puppies and adult dogs

Today, as a professional dog trainer with Training Dog®, I help owners across Earl’s Court SW5, Kensington W8 and Holland Park W14, with a particular focus on socialisation, regular training and ongoing development

DOG TRAINING IN EARL’S COURT & HOLLAND PARK

Every dog is an individual, with their own personality, confidence level, experiences and way of interacting with the world

I work with puppies, adolescent and adult dogs on everyday skills including socialisation, recall, off-lead reliability, lead walking, confidence, calm behaviour around other dogs and good manners in busy environments

My aim isn’t simply to teach a skill and then consider the training finished. Dogs benefit from continuing to practise what they have learned and using those skills as part of everyday life

Every dog is an individual, before a breed or a canine. Every dog is different with its unique personality and character

Positive reinforcement makes your dog balanced, happy to learn and to please you, as you want loyalty and not fear

PUPPY SOCIALISATION

Socialisation is one of the most important parts of a puppy’s early development

But good socialisation isn’t simply about meeting as many dogs as possible

A puppy needs to learn how to communicate appropriately, approach other dogs confidently, recognise when another dog wants space and understand when it is time to play, pause or simply move on

Carefully managed experiences with suitable dogs can help puppies develop confidence and the social skills they will need throughout their lives

I help owners introduce their puppies to the outside world progressively, building positive experiences around other dogs, people and the many distractions they will encounter living in London

SOCIALISATION WITH BALANCED DOGS

Dogs can learn a great deal from spending time around other dogs with good social skills

Where appropriate, I organise walks in Holland Park with small groups of carefully selected, well-balanced dogs

These aren’t simply group dog walks. They provide an opportunity for dogs to practise appropriate social behaviour in a natural environment while continuing to reinforce their training

Dogs can learn to walk together, explore, interact appropriately and, importantly, remain calm around each other without feeling that every encounter needs to become intense play

The objective is a dog who feels comfortable and confident around other dogs and knows how to communicate and behave appropriately in a social environment

ONGOING TRAINING & REGULAR WALKS

Training doesn’t need to stop once a dog has learned the basics

Many owners choose regular sessions so their dogs can continue practising recall, off-lead reliability, social skills and calm behaviour around everyday distractions

Regular training also allows us to identify small changes before they develop into established habits

For owners who have already completed their initial training, ongoing sessions and structured walks can provide a combination of exercise, mental stimulation, social experience and continued training

Think of it as maintaining your dog’s education rather than waiting until something goes wrong

BUILDING CONFIDENCE

My early experience rehabilitating a dog following a serious accident taught me the importance of patience and confidence

That remains an important part of the way I work today

Some dogs naturally approach new situations confidently, while others need more time and carefully managed experiences. Training should respect those differences rather than expecting every dog to progress in exactly the same way

Positive reinforcement, consistency and clear communication help dogs understand what we want from them while developing the confidence to make good choices themselves

ONE-TO-ONE DOG TRAINING

Alongside regular training and socialisation walks, I provide one-to-one training tailored to your dog’s individual needs

Sessions can cover puppy development, recall, lead walking, off-lead reliability, confidence, socialisation and everyday behavioural challenges

My main areas are Holland Park W14, Kensington W8 and Earl’s Court SW5

YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION

Every new client begins with a consultation

We will discuss your dog’s history, routine, environment, personality and any areas you would like to improve. I will also observe your dog and their interaction with you so that we can establish the most appropriate training plan

For puppies, we can also discuss their socialisation and development and establish how to introduce new experiences safely and progressively

Rose was brilliant at training my 9-week old toy poodle! She gave me the confidence to be a responsible and confident dog owner. We learned off-leash training, which I am grateful for every day when I see my little puppy running around the park in complete contentment. I couldn’t have done it without Rose's knowledge and experience and her help in socializing my puppy and teaching him obedience in a kind and caring nature but more importantly, helping me understand my dogs' needs and how I can be the best dog parent for my puppy. I highly recommend her and am forever grateful for all her help.

Rose is an amazing dog trainer. She is knowledgeable, helpful and most importantly compassionate to both owners and their dogs. My 4 month old puppy is already off leash trained in parks and has excellent recall. When rose takes my dog on solo sessions she sends an abundance of photos and updates for both my peace of mind and to see the progress my dog is making. If i ever have any concerns or questions about my dogs training of wellbeing she is always willing to answer and offer advice. I could not recommended rose more!
