Providing a safe space to be supported.
It was never just about the training.
Leash & Learn was born from a deep belief: dogs deserve to feel safe, understood, and supported - not just trained. I started this work because I saw too many dogs struggling through everyday moments - grooming, vet visits, walks - without the tools or trust they needed to cope. And I saw their humans trying, often overwhelmed, unsure how to help.
I wanted to change that.
Leash & Learn is about building connection through empathy. It’s about helping people understand their dogs’ emotional needs and giving them the confidence to respond with clarity and compassion. Because when we listen - really listen - everything changes.
Hi, I’m Amelia.
I’m the proud owner of Leash & Learn Dog Training and Behaviour Coaching. Originally from Bath in the UK, I’ve always been surrounded by dogs - but my passion for behaviour began in 2018 while working as a vet receptionist. In 2022, I earned my Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training through the Delta Institute.
I specialise in cooperative care - helping dogs feel safe during grooming, vet visits, and everyday handling. I use positive reinforcement and incorporate freework to help guardians better understand their dog’s behaviour. My approach is gentle, strategic, and grounded in emotional awareness. I’m here to make communication clearer and help dogs thrive through trust, not tension.
This is why I do what I do.
I believe dog training is about empathy, not authority. If you’re curious about how empathy-led training can help your dog thrive, let’s find the right session for you and your pooch.
