Meet the Professional behind PoochWise
Hello
My name is Lydia Dadson
Welcome to PoochWise!
As a professional experienced Dog Trainer in and around the Hastings area, I am passionate about working closely with dog owners to help their Pooch develop essential skills and behaviours that will make them happy, healthy, and confident.
​
My personalised approach to dog training seeks to build stronger relationships between owner and dog by integrating fun and engaging practices to achieve positive results.

​
About Me.
I believe that every dog deserves to have a happy and fulfilling life with their human family. At PoochWise, I will treat your dog with kindness and understanding so they can thrive and feel confident.
​
I am Autistic and this enhances my ability to work with your dog as an independent dog trainer. I have a high attention to detail, and take pride in my ability to read dogs' body language. As I’m autistic, I can hyper fixation on the task at hand, ensuring every dog gets the individual attention they need to succeed. I get a huge amount of joy from working with dogs and seeing them improve week on week.
