Emma dealt with Barking
Emma arrived promptly and was a delight, the insight and information she shared with us was extremely helpful. We have always had dogs, but were becoming concerned about the incessant barking of our rescue dog who is 15 months old - it was becoming unbearable and combined with his anxiety, left us struggling to know how best to support him whilst also ridding him of his bad habit. Emma discussed his diet and recommended swapping to a raw diet to help with his anxiety and strict rules about OUR behaviour whilst dealing with both of our dogs. Of course the dig never barked once whilst she was there! However he responded to her talking to him - even though he wouldn't come out of his safe place to greet her ! Emma spent 3 hours with us and was so helpful. Within 3 days of her training programme Vlad was already stopping barking on our command and responding well to clear direction. We swapped to a raw food diet 2 weeks ago and have seen a difference in the anxiety level and the dogs simply love their new food - nothing left in the bowl after they have been fed, which they had done before. I would like to Thank Emma so much for giving us the confidence to support Vlad so that he is a proper member of the family and not viewed as a nuisance by our neighbours - if you are considering support for you dog - do it- you won't regret it !

Emma dealt with Puppy management, Separation anxiety
Emma was fantastic, saw a difference in Nelson's behaviour immediately, and it's only getting better with continued training every day. I'm so glad I made this investment, I know for sure I'll have an amazingly behaved dog with the help from Emma.

Emma dealt with Aggression, Barking, Pulling, Separation anxiety
Emma was very knowledgeable and reassuring during our session, she made us feel at ease and knew we wanted the best for our puppy. Her tips started to work straight away and our walks have been different ever since, he no longer pulls and seems much less fearful when out and about. His barking at the door is getting better too.

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.

Emma dealt with Other
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 dealt with Aggression, Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety
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!
