I’m Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, founder of Pawfect Training Academy and a Certified Dog Trainer, Certified Separation Anxiety Behaviour Consultant and Canine Body Language Specialist.
My work is centred around understanding why behaviour is happening, rather than simply trying to stop what we see on the surface. Dogs are constantly communicating through their behaviour and body language, and recognising those often subtle signals is an important part of supporting both the dog and the person caring for them.

I specialise in separation anxiety and separation-related behaviours, supporting dogs who struggle when left alone through carefully structured, gradual and individualised behaviour programmes. My approach is entirely force-free and based on positive reinforcement, with no punishment, intimidation, flooding or “cry it out” methods.
All support is provided online, allowing me to work with clients across the UK and internationally. I also work alongside rescue organisations and continue advanced study in clinical canine behaviour.
At Pawfect Training Academy, my aim is not simply to change behaviour. It is to help people better understand their dog, build confidence and create lasting change while protecting the dog’s emotional wellbeing.
