Hi, I’m Kirsty, the founder of Quay to Success Dog Training. As a dog trainer, my approach is rooted in kindness, patience, and a deep understanding of what it’s like to live with dogs in the city. My journey started with my cheeky Maltese, Dylan, who, like many small city dogs, presented unique challenges. He was reactive to other dogs, would bark at anything he could see out of the window, and simply dreaded walks. To make matters worse, he wouldn’t eat, and I was left stressing over how to manage his anxiety and build his confidence in the midst of city chaos.
Living in an apartment, I quickly realised that I wasn’t alone. Many dog owners in the city face similar struggles: dogs who bark excessively, chew furniture, or become overwhelmed by the distractions of urban life. Whether you’re renting and worried about losing your deposit or just trying to manage your dog’s stress in a busy city, I’ve been there. And I understand how it feels.
Over time, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to train dogs in small spaces. I’ve worked with some of the naughtiest dogs, helping them become calm, confident, and well-behaved in challenging environments. My training approach is all about kindness, ethical methods, and creating a training plan that works for your dog—whether it’s dealing with barking out of the window, the dreaded walks, or chewing up the skirting boards in rented homes. It’s about finding real solutions for urban dog owners, just like you, who want a happy, healthy, well-adjusted dog.
I know the stress of having a dog who struggles in an apartment, but with the right tools and strategies, it’s possible to have a peaceful home and a dog who thrives in the city. My goal is to help you create that balance and build a strong, positive relationship with your dog that will last.

Happy Clients
"Kirsty led a series of six sessions for adolescents post lock down. Really impressed with Kirsty's patience, ability to understand dog behaviour and the sessions were tailored to the areas identified as needing work. The price of the course was very reasonable. Fully recommend Kirsty for any dog training needs!"
- Rich Osb
"Kirsty is incredibly professional in what she does and so trustworthy - we feel lucky to have found her. Leo's behaviour has come on leaps and bounds since we started training and we'd highly recommend Kirsty to any dog owner"
- Nicky & Leo
"We have done 3 sessions with Kirsty so far and Poppy's focus has improved massively - as well as her recall, which we were really struggling with. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Kirsty, she's the best puppy trainer we've ever worked with and your puppy is in seriously experienced hands"
- Leanne & Poppy
"Kirsty has been a lifesaver with Ziggy, our 5 month old Terrier cross. We had attended some other puppy classes but shortly after, Ziggy started lunging and barking at other dogs so we contacted Kirsty for help. Ziggy no longer lunges and we're so pleased!"
- Marcus & Ziggy
"Kirsty's training and professionalism were outstanding. My dog was often very anxious and timid, and Kirsty's confidence course really improved my dog's behaviour and she seems so much happier! Both my dog and I had a great time working with Kirsty, the dog games are great fun. Thank you Kirsty for your brilliant advice and training - I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer either online or in person."- Léann & Siog
