Welcome to
Ergonomic Dogs
We specialise in the space where behaviour, movement, and performance intersect. Whether you’re shaping the foundation of a young sport prospect, working through behavioural complexities, or developing your next competition partner, we approach training with one goal: to build functional, focused, and physically capable dogs without compromising welfare.
Owned and run by Jazz Barron-Harris and Nadia Jouni, Ergonomic Dogs brings together their shared passion for dog training and a unique blend of experience and expertise. Jazz is a canine behaviourist and international-level sports dog trainer and competitor. Nadia is a canine behaviourist, a competitor in multiple protection sports and a chartered specialist in her field of Psychology.
Ergonomic Dogs is built on the principle that training should work with dog and handler in perfect partnership. We combine behavioural knowledge with applied training to unlock your dog’s true potential.
Our Approach
We don’t just train dogs, we shape an approach that supports dogs and their handlers for life. Our methods are evidence-led, welfare-focused, and performance-aware.
Canine Behavioural Coaching
From behavioural challenges like reactivity and overarousal to focus issues, impulse control, and everyday manners, we work with the root cause, not just the surface-level symptoms. Our programmes are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual dog, whether supporting high-drive working-line dogs or cherished family pets, we tailor our methods to help each dog achieve their specific goals.
Sport Dog Development
Training everything from foundations to pre-trial refinement. We help you build the physical literacy, emotional resilience, and cognitive flexibility required for sports like IGP and Ringsports PSA and Scentwork.
Motivation-Led Training Philosophy
All behaviours have a motivation-based component. We assess your dog’s key motivators and use those to power up our behavioural and sport protocols.
Flexible Training & Online Support
We prioritise accessible and flexible learning through both in-person and online training. This ensures trainers, handlers, and pet owners can develop their skills regardless of location. Our approach allows individuals to learn at their own pace, benefiting from the convenience, adaptability and tailored guidance that online learning offers, making our training knowledge and support available to everyone.
Why Ergonomics in Behaviour and
Sport?
Too often, problem behaviours are dismissed as ‘stubbornness’ or other unhelpful labels, when in fact they are rooted in a lack of understanding, untapped motivation, or miscommunication. A dog with strong foundational training and clear guidance behaves with confidence and clarity. We don’t train around problems, we train through them, supporting both dog AND handler alike.
