At dognitive, our mission is to help you and your doggo have the life you dreamed about when you first got together. So, if you have something you’d like some help with, whether it be puppy prep, adult dog training or a challenging behaviour, we would love to work with you and your furry buddy. We promise not to judge! Every dog is unique and given you’re also unique, added together you’re exponentially special. We’ll work with you in a sympathetic and playful way to ensure you maximise the quality of the time you have together.
Discover the heart and soul behind dognitive. From a lifelong love for dogs to working with shelters and rescues, our founder, Aoife Sheridan, brings a wealth of experience and passion to every training session. Aoife trained in New York city, an amazing learning ground for all sorts of dog challenges, apprenticing with Stacy Alldredge – an incredible and well-renowned American trainer and behaviour consultant at the top of her game.
dognitive is Aoife’s own, Dublin-based venture and she is excited to meet anyone looking for help with their dog, whether it be an
impending new arrival, a new pup or a mature adult – she’ll give you every support you need.
Aoife uses non-aversive, reward-based methodologies, ensuring everyone has fun along the way!
While we know you adore your dog, sometimes they can develop behaviours that you might struggle to deal with. From simple pulling on the leash, to aggression or separation anxiety, let us work with you to help make your life together more harmonious.

Are you struggling to find the time to train your dog? We get it. Sometimes a break from their existing environment and some intensive training can be a game changer. We’re happy to take your pup or dog for 1, 2 and 3 weeks to help kick-start their development. Part of the deal is we then train you, yes YOU 🙂 to keep up the progress & development.

Our training sessions are not just effective; they're fun! We believe in a professional but playful approach to ensure great results for both you and your dogs.
No need to feel embarrassed about your dog's behavior. Having trained in New York, we’ve pretty much seen it all! We’re here to help, not judge.
We understand the demands of a busy life. We prefer to work in your home, so that your dog can learn in their normal environment. You can either join in the fun or leave me to it – whatever suits!
I couldn't be happier with the results from dognitive. Our rescue dog, Molly, had some behavior challenges that left us scratching our heads. Aoife's expertise and playful approach turned things around in no time. What sets dognitive apart is the personalised attention and flexibility. Aoife even came to us for sessions, making it convenient for our busy schedule. If you're a dog owner in Dublin, I don’t think you can go wrong with dognitive.
As a first-time dog owner, the prospect of training my lively Frenchie, Rosie, was a bit daunting. Enter dognitive, and suddenly it all became enjoyable! Aoife's knowledge of both dog behavior and nutrition is impressive. The nutritional consultations were a bonus that I hadn't expected. We also got to meet Milo, her gorgeous Golden, who was a key part to helping Rosie walk better on leash. What a gentle giant! Aoife still regularly checks in to make sure everything is still going well with Rosie, which I really appreciate, as I often have a question (or three!) to swing by her. Cheers Aoife!

dognitive has been a game-changer for me and my super-mutt, Finn. As an adoptee, Finn understandably came with some significant issues. Aoife's approach was not only effective but so much fun! The improvements were a game changer for us, from something as simple as being able to open the door, without fear of him lunging at my visitors, to helping us find a more relaxed and enjoyable way of living together. Finn now has an arsenal of new tricks he’s learned and I can tell how how much he enjoys training (as do I!). If I think he’s going to react to something, we jump right into our commands. Aoife made it easy and really got our nuancesfrom the get-go. Highly recommend for fellow dog moms and dads! You won’t look back! (Note: pic of Finn is on the homepage)
