Emma was great arrived on time, spent time with myself and my husband going through what training we were looking for before meeting Bert who is a lively 17 month Patterdale terrier! He showed improvement on the first day the new harness I purchased from Emma is brilliant no more pulling when out walking and he is improving on his lead aggression to other dogs, he has also really improved on the jumping up when I come through the door. Thanks to Emma I feel that I have gained control back at home and I feel so much more relaxed when taking Bert out.

The meeting went well. As expected, Emma gave clear explanation and direction including collar use and diet in a respectful manner to both Joshua and advice to my husband and I. The tasks are letting visitors into the property and addressing his anxiety and getting him used to going to the vets. Emma reiterated that she is accessible via telephone and email and will always reply to us. A truly professional lady who has a lot of experience with animals and people.

Emma was excellent and we really appreciate all the guidance and tips that she gave us during our puppy training session. We’re working hard with Ivy to put everything into action and have already seen lots of improvements. Thank you

We were at our wits end with our father and son dachshund pair. Bark bark barking at everything and everyone, pulling at the lead, possessive over food...you name it, we've had it! Having two pups over 2 yrs of social isolation due to covid definitely affected their behaviour. We tried everything we could think of. We used all the training info online, read the Dog Whisperer books, hired a trainer that encouraged the treat training method... to no avail. When we met with Emma we felt thoroughly listened to. She expressed concern and care not judgement. She instilled us with confidence that we would be able to get control over the issues. Just with these two in person training sessions we have had drastic remarkable differences. Our dogs are happier, more comfortable, less anxious and much, much more obedient. We are so much happier too. We look forward to more training sessions. We understand now that as pet owners we must cultivate the best behaviours in ourselves to see results in our pups!

Emma was asked to help us with our rescue 18 month old lady. When we initially booked it was for 2 ladies. Sadly Izzy's mom passed away. After some emails we decided to proceed. Emma kindly assessed us and Izzy and determined that physical training and correction was just not possible because of Izzy's state of stress and fear. Instead she proceeded giving us incredibly good advice regarding behaviour, exercise and feeding. We since had numerous supporting emails full of information. We have seen small amount of progress in just one week and is ready to contact Emma for a follow up. We expected a dog trainer and got so much more from Emma. I am looking forward to a very good and positive working relationship. Thank you Emma for showing us and Izzy compassion for our loss and insight into our problem with a clear plan moving forward.

Emma dealt with Barking, Separation Anxiety
Saw results from day one and nearly a week later we have gone from not being able to leave the dog without him continuously barking to being able to leave him for 40 minutes with no problem, we are gradually increasing the time left alone as we were advised to do and we are very happy with the results. Emma was great, very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
Emma arrived on time and spent about 3hrs with us, she really listened to what I was saying and how to address the issues we are having. Didn't think we would get anywhere on the first visit as Kevin didn't stop barking for about a hour but she managed to calm him down. We did loose lead walking in the house and outside, he was really bad at pulling and genuine being outside. Early days and I'm sure a lot more work to do with all his other problems but wow what a change already.

Emma dealt with Barking, Puppy Management, Separation Anxiety, Toileting
After just two hours with Emma, my Darla is like a different dog! She's a rescue with separation anxiety who would constantly bark if anyone was in the kitchen/around food. Emma was absolutely brilliant with Darla and she calmed down so quickly compared to how she's reacted previously to people she's never met. She pointed out everything I can improve on, demonstrated all of the techniques to me and stayed whilst I practiced. After just this session, Darla ignored the doorbell, barely barked at dinner time, napped whilst I went out, and slept the entire night in her den (which she previously wouldn't so much as nap in). I can't wait to see my girl continue to improve and will definitely be seeing Emma again when Darla is ready for her recall training!
