12th October 2023 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Separation anxiety
Was amazingly surprised by how well our GSD did with some training (mostly for us) from Alex this week! She was like a completely different dog. We still have some way to go but Alex has assured is that he will be on hand and that she (the dog) wants to be obedient and follow commands / the pack.
Trainer note from Alex
I have met some excitable and chatty GSDs over the past 10 years, and this little lady was certainly one of them. However after some barking and jumping up when I initially entered the home, she soon calmed down and really seemed to enjoy the training (as did her owners). I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly she started to listen and I was delighted with how calm she was when we took her for a short walk. Looking forward to catching up with them all agin to see how they are getting on.

12th October 2023 - Sharon Chapman
Sharon dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
We were quite apprehensive about bringing someone in to help us with our 10 month old Miniature Schnauzer Mabel but Sharon instantly put us at ease! She listened, gave tips and advice and did some great practical training with Mabel which we are now putting into practice daily. Mabel loved her too and that definitely helped. Her knowledge is excellent and even though we are only a week in we are already noticing a calmer and happier Mabel and we feel Sharon will give us the tools and techniques to help us and Mabel. Highly recommend and glad that we made the investment - looking forward to working with Sharon over the coming months.
Trainer note from Sharon
It was lovely to meet you all and I am excited to see Mabel transformation (behaviour and grooming) and watch your relationship grow.

11th October 2023 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Barking
Alex was great. Very quickly sussed out Fabio and his issues. Fabio quickly responded to the training with Alex and again when I had to do the same exercises with Fabio. I was immediately sent information sheets to remind me of what I needed to continue practicing with Fabio which is extremely helpful as there was so much information and many lessons to try and remember. I chose Alex after doing research online and reading other dog owners comments. I would recommend Alex to anyone whose dog is "behaving badly" or simply misunderstood.
Trainer note from Alex
At the start of the session Fabio was very barky, but I was pleasantly surprised that by the end of the session, he didn’t even bark when I knocked on and his owner let me in. We didn’t fix him or his owner on the first session, but I am confident with some hard work and some consistency, Fabio will be a far mor relaxed little dog. Keep up the good work.

Kirsty dealt with Barking
It was an over all positive experience and an eye opener at how my dog was feeling. In a few corrective activities my dog had responded so well i was amazed. Very happy with my first session.
Trainer note from Kirsty
Loki did so well in his first session I was very proud of him. I am looking forward to seeing how he progresses with his training in his new pack position. Keep up the great work and let me know how he is getting on.

11th October 2023 - Kevin McDonnell
Kevin dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
Kevin came to our rescue! We were worried about having to re-home our dog due to hyperactivity, jumping up and puppy biting, amongst other things. Kevin was our last option. From the get go Kevin explained everything to us so we could understand why our dog was behaving how he was. Instantly our dog responded to the training and Kevin showed us what we needed to do, gave us homework which we could follow and also mentioned we could call him anytime in the future. Our dog is a completely different dog and is much more manageable, calmer and now listens and respond well. We just honestly wish we done it sooner.

9th October 2023 - Ben Jordan
Ben dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall
Our first lesson with Ben went really well.
He listened to our concerns and showed us ways to work towards achieving a solution.
He was very patient and re explained if we were unsure.
We went through different scenarios indoors and outside.
We feel that Ben gave us the tools to firstly help us become better dog owners and for Rex to understand what was expected of him.
Thankyou Ben just wish we had contacted you sooner.
7th October 2023 - Kirsty Dudfield
Kirsty dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up
Kirsty showed us some very straightforward techniques to use. She also explained the psychology behind our dog’s behaviour. I thought the service was really expensive when I first signed up, but after the first session I considered it money well spent! Angus is like a different dog and our home is a much calmer place!
Trainer note from Kirsty
Ruth I am so pleased that the improvements with Angus are continuing since our first session. You all did amazingly well with the new training techniques and hopefully with consistent training things will get even better as Angus settles into his new pack position. Keep up the great work and enjoy the new harmony in your house.
