Roxanne Fontanarosa
Dog Behaviour Consultant
Covering Greater Manchester
Feeling overwhelmed by your dog’s behaviour? You’re not alone, I can help.
My mission is to support dogs and their owners in order to help you to have a calm and peaceful life using science based, kind and effective dog training techniques.
Am I The Right Dog Trainer and Behaviourist For You?
I use ethical, reward-based training to get to the root of your dog’s behaviour and create lasting change. Sessions are 1:1 and take place both in your home and out in the real world, such as on walks or at the park - wherever your dog most needs support.
My approach is calm, collaborative and rooted in empathy. I always consider both your dog’s and your emotional wellbeing, because learning only happens when everyone feels safe and supported.
We’ll work closely as a team to build your confidence, reduce stress and make progress that you can sustain long after our sessions end. I don’t just train dogs; I support the humans at the other end of the lead too, so that life gets better for both of you.

Testimonials
‘Really appreciate everything you’ve done'
We have just finished working with Roxanne, she has been brilliant.
Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate and very realistic at managing expectations. Thanks Roxanne really appreciate everything you have done to support throughout the sessions.
Kelly with Jett & Reggie
‘Roxanne is so calm and friendly’
We have seen Roxanne twice so far and we are really impressed with her. We are having trouble with our new dog attacking our dog we already have. Roxanne is so calm and friendly and the training she has advised is excellent. I would highly recommend her.
Denise with Mia & Hector
‘I really wish we’d booked sooner’
Roxanne was really friendly and helpful on her visit to help us with our pup. Visiting us in our home was great as the advice was much more practical and tailored to our circumstances. We've been working on the activities Roxanne suggested each day and so far, all is going well. I really wish we'd booked sooner.

A Bit About Me
I’m a fully qualified, experienced and ethical dog behaviourist and trainer with a passion to help people and their dogs that are struggling with behavioural and training issues.
I will help you to understand your dog’s behaviour and needs, implement a plan of action, and support you with training and advice in order to see the changes needed to make for a happier, relaxed dog and a stress free you!
‘Roxanne stands head and shoulders above the rest’
I cannot recommend Roxanne highly enough for anyone seeking expert guidance in training their furry companions. My cocker spaniel, known for his boundless energy and sometimes erratic behavior, was in dire need of some serious training to calm him down in crucial moments. Enter Roxanne, the dog whisperer!
From the moment we met Roxanne, it was evident that she possesses a rare blend of expertise and genuine love for dogs. Her warmth and patience instantly put both me and my pooch at ease. Throughout the training sessions, Roxanne demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism and dedication.
What truly sets Roxanne apart is her ability to tailor her approach to suit the unique needs of each dog. With her guidance, I learned invaluable techniques that not only transformed my dog's behavior but also deepened our bond. The difference in my dog's demeanor is nothing short of remarkable, and I owe it all to Roxanne's expertise.
Having worked with numerous trainers in the past without much success, I can confidently say that Roxanne stands head and shoulders above the rest. If you're looking for a dog trainer who genuinely cares about your pet's well-being and delivers outstanding results, look no further than Roxanne. She's simply the best!
