About

Rhona McColl

Founder of RSM Dog Training

I’m a fully qualified member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), I am also a certified Separation Anxiety behaviour consultant (CSAP-BC), and I also hold a Canine Body Language Instructor qualification with the Dog Training College.

A lifelong lover of dogs, I am committed to helping owners to set their dogs up for success, and to help you build the relationship & bond with your dog & create results that last a lifetime.

I am passionate about helping owners develop a greater understanding of their individual dog’s body language, creating a partnership & bond based on mutual trust. I am passionate about reward-based methods & am dedicated to educating people that no dog should be trained using aversive methods.

The organisations I choose to learn from all share my positive, ethical, force-free, science-based training methods

I can highly recommend Rhona…. Since working with her Roxy is now able to chill & relax at home alone for over an hour! When we first started we were so worried & stressed, and also felt trapped, as Roxy could only manage being alone for about 4 minutes before becoming so anxious. We finally feel there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Boo’s separation anxiety was so bad he could only manage just over a minute alone before he would go into complete melt-down. I was so scared that anything I tried would traumatise him further, but even after a few weeks he can comfortably relax for 30 minutes – I even managed to pop to the local shop, which sounds like nothing, but was like regaining a bit of freedom, whilst knowing he wasn’t anxious. It was a huge milestone!
