what dog owners say about Sharon Chapman

Dog Training & Behavioral Therapist

Sharon Chapman dealt with: Aggression to a dog or other animal or where the dog is aggressive to the owner or a stranger

Sharon has now visited Diesel and I 3 times, on her first visit I was impressed by her relaxed manner and relieved that she in no way appointed any blame onto myself or my dog for his behaviour problems (he shows nervous aggression toward other dogs). Sharon was here for 3 hours and in that time we discussed reasons for the behaviour and devised an action plan, we went out for a walk where she assessed Diesel and myself and assured me that he was not a 'bad' dog just scared.

Since then diesel and I have progressed well although slowly, I know there is no quick fix to this problem. He is building up his confidence, as am I and we're really starting to see a marked improvement. I no longer dread taking him out as I know how to deal with situations as they arise.

Sharon is always on hand via e mail to help with any queries between visits and is happy to listen to me if I feel that something is not quite working and we tweak the training until it does.

I am extremely happy with and grateful for the help I'm having in getting 'my dog back'.

Initially the price seemed expensive but when you consider that most trainers charge Ã‚Â£30/hr for one to one and I have Sharon for a year if I need her I now realise that the price I paid is very reasonable.

Sharon Chapman dealt with: Barking at people, dogs and animals or barking for attention or at noises

Although Sharon tried her best with Dexter he is going to take a lot more time and patience for him to get what he is supposed to achieve...

Trainer note from Sharon:
There is no quick fix in dog training and Dexter has proved this to his owner. However his owner has now been given clear guidance and with consistent practise he will improve over time.

Has been absolutely fantastic. Sharon has been a great help and Theo is like a different dog. He has stopped biting around food and is no longer aggressive. He walks beautifully and we are well on our way to walking him off the lead - something I wouldn't have even considered before. He's changed from a dog I was scared of to a lovely little puppy!

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

Sharon was very thorough with the assessment of Sally, although we are in the early stages of training we are seeing an improvement in Sally's behaviour which we are very pleased with.

Having only had the one meeting and lesson with Sharon we feel after getting the professional advice and Sharon's knowledge and understanding of border collies Sally will be a better well behaved dog when Sharon has finished.

Gaining confidence when out and about. Change of diet recommended by Sharon. Wilson seems to be responding well as I feel more confident when other dogs are close by. I need to spend more time with Archie applying the techniques suggested.

Sharon Chapman dealt with: Puppy Management

Dog responded really well with Sharon. Very happy with how well Sharon worked with Lucy and after one visit learned at lot about how to train her.

Trainer note from Sharon:
Lucy is a lovely little Sheltie pup, She has an experienced owner but it has been a while since she has had a puppy and she just needed some guidance and reminders about the best way to work with the Lucy. It is a joy to work with both of them

Sharon Chapman dealt with: Puppy Management

Sharon arrived on time, she was very relaxed and easy to talk to. The issue for us was that we have introduced a new pup to our 4 year old Yorkie Henry. We were concerned that Henry was not accepting Pascha and wanted to address any issues before they became major issues. Sharon gave us great advice which resulted in Henry becoming much more relaxed with Pascha within half an hour. The dogs responded to Sharon well and she showed great affection for animals. She assured us that what is occurring between our dogs is perfectly natural and she sees no behaviour problem, all was explained in depth and great techniques provided. I would recommend this service to anyone that has concerns re their pets.

Sharon is lovely. She explained everything thoroughly to me and I now realise why Trevor behaves like he does. We practise every day he is extremely stubborn but is starting to respond in a more positive way. He was never socialised before we had him and is quite scarred of other dogs eventually I'm hoping we can walk past another dog without him becoming anxious

Tonight was our first session with Sharon, she gave us lots of easy to understand advice and helped us to learn how to continue training Breagh who is an eleven month old border collie. We were given advice on her diet as well as her obedience. Breagh responded really well and we have the confidence to continue until we see Sharon again in another two weeks.

Thanks Sharon.
