Hi, I'm Sara Perceval — IMDT Certified Dog Trainer and Doodle Specialist based in Mill Hill, North London.

I help families across North London raise calm, confident dogs through science-based, positive training methods. I specialise in doodle breeds — cockapoos, labradoodles, cavapoos and goldendoodles — and have helped hundreds of doodle owners across the UK get on top of biting, crate training, separation anxiety and recall.

As a mum of two young children and an experienced dog trainer, I understand the challenges of raising a puppy while managing family life. That's why I created Doodle Doggies — to give families the expert puppy training support they need during those critical early months.
