18th November 2018 - Sharon Chapman

Sharon dealt with Pulling, Recall, Other

Sharon was patient and understanding with owners and young dog! She took time to explain and demonstrate training methods, giving us the opportunity to practise them during the session. She has given us much-needed confidence in tackling Peggy's anxiety when outside the house and garden. Sharon has replied promptly and helpfully to our recent emails and we are looking forward to working with her while Peggy's training continues.

Great, very relaxed and the dogs responded quickly thank you

- -.J, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

This owner has a Westie and Shih Tzu who were rescued in Australia and came to the UK when their owner moved to London. They were barking at other dogs, pulling on the lead and occasionally causing problems in the home. The main source of these problems was that the dogs were trying to protect their owner and themselves rather than listening to their owner. Once we established a few boundaries and some communication rules, both dogs behaviour improved rapidly and they are doing really well. 

15th November 2018 - Lee Hardy

Lee dealt with Jumping up, Recall

Lee was very friendly and professional. Scooby responded to his techniques quickly. Its only been two weeks but we are seeing a great improvement in his behaviour. It's good to know that Lee will be there to support us for the next 12 months.

15th November 2018 - Gina Williams

Gina dealt with Aggression, Barking, Other

Gina was firstly extremely lovely. the former "behaviouralist" I used was extremely judgemental and rude and it was lovely to not feed judged because I followed the bad advice of that former trainer and also that I am not being judged for having a fearful dog. Gina is also an excellent teacher, she doesn't expect you to be a pro or not make mistakes. I felt all the info provided was excellent and really helped and Ive already noticed a difference in Bilbo, as have my family. She clearly cares and it shows. I couldn't give higher praise.

12th November 2018 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety

Alex was fantastic with Alfie, our 1.5 year old Manchester Terrier. We've have some problems with Alfie's barking, often caused by his separation anxiety when we have to leave him at home. Alex listened to our concerns, and met Alfie to see how he behaved. After talking through a variety of exercises to try with Alfie over the three hour session, we could already start seeing a difference in our dog. He's still got a way to go, but Alex did a great job of getting us on the right path.

12th November 2018 - Alex Fraser

Alex dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall

We had an extremely positive first session with Alex last week. Charlie, our 9 month old collie, has been acting like a proper teenager! He is actually pretty well behaved indoors, but he loses focus completely when he is outside, particularly when it comes to other dogs! All in all, he has become a bit of a handful when we step out the front door! Alex spent a lot of time talking through Charlie's history with us, discussing all aspects of his diet, exercise, behaviours, etc. We then went through some exercises indoors, as much to teach us how to communicate with Charlie as it was to train him. We then went outside to do some lead walking and passing by another dog. We couldn't recommend Alex highly enough! He really took the time to talk to us, and went way over the original planned session time. We've noticed a change in Charlie immediately. He is now walking pretty much to heel on lead walks, and we already feel that he is more attentive to us when we are out in the park. We know that it is going to be a long road, and we all have a lot of work to put in, but Alex has definitely put us on the right path and given us more confidence to help us move forward.

11th November 2018 - Graham Milgrew

Graham dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling

Graham was great. We learnt so much from him in our first session and fast forward to a week later and Maggie is doing so much better in all her problematic areas. I highly recommend Graham's services. He's very patient and knows exactly what to do when training a dog. He does it the right way and you really do see amazing results.

- -.A, Shoreditch, London (Testimonial)

Trainer note from Graham

Poor little Maggie was abandoned and found tied to a fence in rural Ireland. She spent some time with the Dog's Trust, who brought her to the UK where she was adopted by her owners. She is a highly intelligent little terrier cross-breed but very distrustful and scared of other dogs. Her owners are working really hard with Maggie and she has now attended 2 group client walks with us. Maggie has progressed from a dog who could not bear the sight of another dog to being able to now go into the park and enjoy herself as long as other dogs keep their distance. It's still early days but with patience and understanding together with guidance and training, she will get over her fears.

11th November 2018 - Emma Barrett

Emma dealt with Aggression, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall

The training session with Emma, helped us to understand that our Labrador's challenging behaviour was because he had become ‘top dog ‘ Her clear explanation of how a dog's mind works made so much sense. Toby coped with his first training session very well and much to our surprise responded to Emma's commands immediately. We have carried out the training tips every day and in less than a week we are noticing a major improvement . It is reassuring to know that we have Emma's support for the next 12 months.

Shauna dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Other

Shauna was brilliant. I've never seen a dog change behaviour so quickly. She left me with training to do with rubble for the next 3 weeks and he is doing so well I couldn't have done it without her help.
