I am so impressed with what lee did in one session the difference in walking my dog from the day before was amazing. He has given me so much confidence to believe we will end up with the results we want and give our rescue dog a good and happy future.

Kevin dealt with Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety
We have a 6 year old Jack Russell called Diesel, whose separation anxiety issues and constant barking were making family life very stressful. Kevin's training session was amazing! Within half an hour he showed us how to stop Diesel barking at the doorbell, and growling at people walking past the house. He also taught us techniques to make Diesel feel safe and calm when we leave him at home alone. Just 2 days later and we already have a dog a who walks to heel, has stopped terrifying our visitors, and can already be left at home for short periods without crying his heart out. We're looking forward to keeping up the techniques that Kevin taught us and making Diesel's life (and ours) a lot calmer and happier... Thanks Kevin!
4th September 2013 - Graham Milgrew
Graham dealt with Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
From the very start Jo could identify straight away the issues we were having with Bentley. After spending four hours with us, from the 1st visit we instantly started to notice Bentley's behaviour improve.
Jo was brilliant and took the time to explain everything in great detail to ensure we understood everything. Jo's knowledge was very impressive. She ensured we had a training strategy in place ready for her next visit which was simple for us to achieve.
Bentley's progress is still ongoing but without Jo's help we wouldn't be where we are today with him!!! Big thanks
Trainer note from Graham
Bentley is a Dogue De Bordeaux and a gentle giant. He is very noise sensitive and if something startles or scares him when he is outside he will pull his owners to get away and go back home. His owners are patiently working with him to help him cope with his noise fear. This is not something that can be achieved quickly but they are making great progress. When it comes to general training, Bentley is excelling himself. He has been doing really well with recall (coming when called)and is already at the stage where he can move on from basic to advanced training. He loves every minute he spends learning new things with his owners and for such a young dog he is showing remarkable promise.

We were very pleased with the information that Jo gave and is continuing to do. Penny has come on leaps and bounds since and Jo came back and taught us the recall programme. Penny is responding very well to this and we have to do this for another 3 weeks. Her barking is toning down too and she now knows the word "no" which is a huge success for us.
Trainer note from Graham
Penny is a lovely little Westie Puppy. She was a little reluctant to come to her owners. There was no obvious reason for this and as soon as they started to make coming to them a fun game she has got the hang of it and is happily running backwards and forwards on their command. She loves to bark at anything and everything so her owners have been working hard to make sure her barking doesn't become a nuisance and that she understands when to stop when she gets too excited. She is growing up into a delightful dog and is bringing real pleasure to her owners life.

31st August 2013 - Kevin McDonnell
Kevin dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Recall
We are delighted with the progress that we have made with Daisy since our training session with Kevin. She seems calmer at home and when visitors arrive, which was a major problem. She is also a lot better behaved and will listen to instruction when we are out and about. Whereas before the training she had "selective deafness" at times when we were trying to get her back on the lead, especially if there were other dogs around, she now will come straight back. We have still a way to go before we have a perfectly behaved dog but with Kevin's training and the exercises he gave us to practice, we are sure that we can achieve this. Many thanks!
29th August 2013 - Andy Waterhouse
Andy dealt with Aggression, Separation anxiety
I think the training session went very well. Andy is very professional and very confident in training both the dog and the owner. which is for me reassuring. I've myself learned a lot through the process so I can now help support Fanny through it. The first part of the session was intended to work on Fanny' separation anxiety. Before I've met Andy, I could not leave Fanny alone in the flat without her start screaming enough to disturb the whole neighborhood. Today I can leave the flat as she can better manage her anxiety. The second part of the session was intended to work on her anxiety towards other dogs translating into aggressive behavior. We've since made a lot of progress on the recall and pulling. Walking with Fanny is getting better every day. She is still though very anxious towards other dogs. But hey, Rome was not built in one day! I am convinced that we will overcome this situation with Andy' support and my desire to succeed.

From the start Lynn could identify straight away the issues we was facing with Buster. After 4 hours training we already started to notice Busters behaviour improve. Using the vocal techniques has really worked, we look forward to seeing more improvement and further training with Lynn.
