  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks

  • Recall or not coming when called
  • Puppy Management

An excellent service. Tina was totally focused on the training and very informative. We'll happily recommend her to everyone who wants a happy life with dogs.

Mrs R W, Sevenoaks, Kent

A very big boy, friendly but determined to jump up at visitors and sometimes strangers when on a walk. Initially he gave the appearance of not being interested in his owners wishes, but very quickly he understood the new techniques put into practice and by the end of the session was loving every minute of the one to one attention he was getting from his owner and all the praise for "getting it right". A new puppy arriving this week will have a great start in life.

The dog's attitude changed within 20 mins of Tina's arrival. As the meeting progressed I gained more confidence that the training would succeed. To date although not perfect, we are both much better; there is still work to be done.

Mr and Mrs G L, Dymchurch, Kent

A young dog who had got into some very bad habits, using his teeth on clothing and to steal items from pockets etc. This had started as a game in his early months, but was no longer acceptable. He very quickly responded to the techniques shown and he is now well on his way to being a happy well adjusted member of the family, rather than the hooligan!

  • Destructive chewing that results in destruction of furniture, woodwork etc
  • Jumping up at visitors or the dog jumps up at people on walks
  • Pulling on the Lead

We were amazed at the improvement after the session. We are now working as a much better family unit.

Ms K L, Ticehurst, East Sussex

A teenager, this boy was making up his own rules! Liked to escape to visit a friend down the road and was raiding bins and chewing all sorts of things! Diet was looked at as some of his excitability was likely to be caused by colours and additive in food. However, he responded beautifully to the training and once he understood what was wanted, was very quick and happy to learn and be praised for responding.

Tina has given us great help in training Barney. Her dietary advice was particularly useful as he seemed to have ADHD previously due to all the addititives in his puppy food!

Mr and Mrs M S, Woldingham, Surrey

This young dog was becoming very unruly; he stole my work bag off a kitchen table on my first visit! He'd been ripping up chairs and his bed and was getting very frustrated. His new diet and calm quiet training has produced a very amenable more focus boy.

Pippa is a different dog! Tina's training has made a huge difference to our lives and Pippa is a much happier dog. Our neighbours are happy as she no longer barks or stops when we want her to.

Mr and Mrs B C, Birchington, Kent

This is a litter terrier cross rescue dog who's found a great home! She was beginning to cause stress as a result of her barking and would pull and bark for the whole walk as well! She now walks quietly by her owners side on a loose lead.

I found Tina helpful and very supportive throughout the session and a pleasure to work with. She managed to give me some confidence; many had failed to do this before.

Ms M W, Folkstone, Kent

A particularly friendly boisterous boy and being "solid" his jumping up and attention seeking was pretty uncomfortable! I showed his owner how to take back control of the various situations giving lots of praise when he "got it right"!

We are re-inforcing the new techniques with Beau and Lola, both are more confident and I see a brighter future with our dogs. Lola is only 6 months and a rescue, so may need further advice from Tina.

Mrs T M, Maidstone, Kent

Lola had started to use her "voice" to get attention, conversations were impossible! Beau was a much quieter and sensitive boy, so training needs to be carried out separately for a while. Boths dogs are improving well.

We've found this training extremely valuable and found Tina to be patient, understanding and consistent - and very friendly!

Ms GB and Mr TW, Tunbridge Wells, Kent

Two dogs of very different character. The male had been toileting overnight brought on by feeling anxious with too much responsibility to guard. We changed sleeping arrangements and there has been no incidents since my first visit in March. Both dogs have been taught to walk quietly on loose leads with calm techniques and they are now focusing on their owners well. They now wait away from the door when visitors arrive and no longer jump up when allowed to greet. Lovely dogs, now happy and much more relaxed.

17th May 2009

  • Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger
  • Barking at people, dogs, animals, birds or where the dog barks for attention or at the slightest noise
  • Pulling on the Lead
  • Recall or not coming when called

After only one session the behaviour of both our dogs improved dramatically. Our lurcher, Ellie is noticeably more relaxed and both dogs seem "relieved" not to have to be in charge any more. The next day whilst out walking the dogs, we met another dog. In the past this would have resulted in a very aggressive reaction from Ellie and anxiety barking from our terrier, Daisy. What a difference! Using the techiques Tina had shown us, Ellie didn't utter a sound and indeed wasn't really interested in the other dog, consequently, Daisy was more relaxed too. This alone will transform our dog walking life. We cannot recommend Tina and her techniques highly enough. So a huge thank you!

Mr and Mrs T H, Southborough, Kent

Ellie had taken over being aggressive when a previous companion dog died. She felt that she had to "protect" the pack from intruders! We worked the dogs separately at first then together in a "normal" walking situation. At a later session my own dog Finn acted as a "stooge" and we had a great session, allowing the owners to feel confident in their abilities to handle situations that would previously have had a poor outcome.

Having tried a couple of other trainers in the past (both with Monty and a previous dog), we were particularly impressed with Tina's approach. We liked the fact that the training focused on the psychology and the relationship between us and Monty, rather than using any sort of force, "scare tactics" or bribes. Most of all, we were astonished at the immediate results. Monty is not only behaving so much better, but is far more relaxed and happy.

Mr and Mrs J W, Ashford, Kent

Monty is a very intelligent working type dog and had used his intelligence to manipulate his owners to do his bidding! Once this was recognised and and training started, he very quickly accepted his new role and of course, is much happier listening and responding to commands and getting praised for good behaviour, rather than trying to train his owners!
