15th April 2018 - Graham Milgrew
Graham dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling
I was so anxious about the first lesson as I expected my dog to work hard to get rid of Graham but by the end of the lesson both the dog and myself were relaxed, this was thanks to Graham being so understanding and putting us both at ease. I no longer felt like a terrible dog owner and am really looking forward to the next lesson.
Trainer note from Graham
This owner has a 6 year old Rottweiler who uses his weight and size to intimidate visitors. This breed does guard by nature and needs clear boundaries and training as to what is expected. He owner has done a good job with a difficult dog and his dog responded well to the training.

Lee dealt with Aggression, Barking
Lee was excellent with the dogs
On entering the dogs were in a delegate room jumping at door and barking consistently for 15 minutes until Lee took control of the situation. We opened the door and all the dogs launched out barking.
Lee showed us how to calm the dogs stop the barking and respect my visitors personal space Training is on going it's been nearly a month now but recite progress
Looking forward to catching up with Lee and next steps off lead and outdoor training

After a week of putting Lee's advice into practice, the results have been astonishing! There's still lots of work left to do but he made us feel confident in the methods he showed us and was incredibly supportive...just brilliant!

Remote Training Team dealt with Puppy management
Our gorgeous puppy Poppy graduated from puppy training two weeks ago. Poppy is our first ever dog and is an English springer spaniel so she has loads of energy and is full of life! Over the 3 sessions Angela has taught us many things to practise with Poppy, and we practise them every day and the techniques do really work. Poppy is a happy, contented little pup and thanks to Angela and her help, is well on her way to becoming a very well behaved girl (most of the time).

Lee dealt with Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Recall
We only just got started last night but can already see a real improvement in the way Ginny responds to us in the house. On our morning walk today - no jumping at all! We still have some work ahead of us but feeling really positive that our lovely, clever girl will be even lovelier and calmer in the future!
10th April 2018 - Sharon Chapman
Sharon dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Puppy management, Recall, Toileting
Sharon came to our house last night for our first puppy training session with our dog Poppy. I must say even though we have only had one lesson we saw an immediate change in poppy's behavior towards our cats. We realize its early days but hopefully using the skills Sharon has taught us we will be able to make Poppy the well behaved, social little dog she wants to be. Our cats seem much more relaxed around Poppy and she is responding well to door control commands. We were amazed at how quick Poppy was to learn the calming behavior Sharon taught her and we can't wait for the next session.
8th April 2018 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Recall
Alex gave us simple techniques to help with our dog Castro's behaviour that were successful immediately.
His sessions and fun and informative for both dog and owners. He is patient and thorough and we feel we are making big steps in the right direction.
Alex is only ever a text away if we have an issue that arises. We feel confident in his support and expertise and we all enjoy his sessions immensely.
Trainer note from Alex
Castro is a lovely little dog, but he used to get over excited when he encountered other dogs which resulted in him barking. I normally visit a number of customers on days I am working so i am unable to take my 2 boys with me, but I am more than happy for customers to come to me. We recently did a walk with Castro and my 2 dogs and it was amazing. All 3 were off lead and running around, and even when we encountered other dogs Castro’s Mum and Dad were able to ensure he behaved. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to catch up with them all in the future.

Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Sibling rivalry, Other
What a lifeline it's been to have had a visit by Kevin which has resolved a desperate situation! It is now a pleasure and not a fear to have our dogs together. The immediate difference with the issues we have had within this one visit is unbelievable.
4th April 2018 - Alex Fraser
Alex dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Pulling
As others have stated I was a little apprehensive as to how training in the house would attend to Millie's pulling, barking and non return tactics! However Alex explained the plans for the session and began training me! After learning the basics we went outside and soon Alex had Millie walking to heel - I was impressed. Today I have been out for a walk waiting to be pulled but we have walked to heel :) This is only the first day but I am hopeful and looking forward to the second training session working on recall
Trainer note from Alex
I know what I do works, but I was expecting Millie to be a real puller on her lead. By the end of the first session she was walking beautifully next to her Mum. We have met up again recently and she was still behaving whilst on her lead which allowed us to deal with her excited barking when she passed people. She did really well. I am looking forward to catching up in a few weeks time to work on recall.
