Thanks so much for this awesome review.
It was such pleasure working with you guys.
He is such an awesome lad!!!❤️🐶
Before meeting Roger our golden retriever couldn’t go within 100m of another dog without losing interest in us and showing signs of aggression and anxiety.
After our course with Roger we now have a lovely dog who can be around other dogs without showing aggression or anxiety.
We can’t thank Roger enough for his expert help and guidance throughout the course and we now have a dog we are proud to take out in public
Thanks a million!!

My poor pup has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia!!!
She is literally allowed 20 mins exercise per day.
She is not able to do any Igp training or chasing of any kind.
She is a very young dog with lots of energy and intelligence so I need to be able to facilitate her needs to help with her frustration and reactivity. We are doing lots of scent work, searching for her toy in the car park, searching the van and working on self control with her favorite toy. We are also working on her reactivity.
I am pleased to say she is doing amazing with her people and car reactivity despite having hip dysplasia and also starting her season.
If your dog is unable to do alot of exercise due to their health or age make sure to give them other outlets such as
Scent work
Trick training
Enrichment activities
Edible chews
General obedience
Toy play
Scatter feeding
Sniffy walks
Platform training
Also if your dog is reactive make sure you work on one trigger at a time at a location and distance that your dog can cope with and learn.
This will help set you both up for success.
Would love to hear your ideas for entertaining your dogs. 🐶🐾

Check out how well this lad is doing.
He would never check in with owners and would pull them down the road.
He was scared to put on a harness and had been taught that if you pull you get a correction from the handler.
Here he is walking beautifully with Dad!!
No correction or tension needed.
Keep up the great work guys.
Team work all the way. 😃🐶❤️

Trying to work but Rada has other ideas.. 😂❤️
16/10/2024
Check this out!!!
When we started this poor dog had been to 3 aversive trainers and had a traumatic experience at the vets which made him lose all trust with his dad.
He would growl and even bite if touch or felt worried.
Unfortunately dad did most of the aversive training which broke his relationship with his best friend. I want to make it clear this was no fault of owners as they were paying these so called experts.
After just a couple of training sessions he is now sat back on dad’s lap and is offering interactions.
He is learning lots of new skills and is actually enjoying his training sessions.
Well done guys you are smashing it. 😃🐶🐾

If your dog is feeling afraid or stressed, it’s important to offer them support and understanding instead of punishment 🐶🐾❤️

Harnesses do not cause your dog to pull!!!🐶
10/10/2024
Don’t punish your dog for growling as this can lead your dog to go straight to a bite!!!

Here is a video of Rada learning some self control with her toy.
Teaching our dogs to have self control has lots of benefits, such as
🐾 Making better choices
🐾 Helps with frustration
🐾 Relationship and bonding
🐾 Better listening skills
🐾 Lower stress levels
🐾 Mentally challenging
🐾 Great way to build team work
🐾 Helps with life skills
🐾 To be able to think before reacting.
And it’s fun! 😃
How could self control help your dog?

Rada is struggling with pain in her back leg which has increased her reactivity on walks and in the house.
She is unable to do any Igp training due to this so i needed another outlet to help her get mental stimulation and work on her reactivity to people and cars.
Here she is searching the carpark and my van whist people are going shopping or to work.
Scent work or tracking can be a great way to mentally stimulate our dogs, build up their confidence and challenge them.
30 minutes of scent work and some heel work and Rada is ready for breakfast and a nap.
Try this with your dogs rather than being dragged around the block or down the road. 🐶🐾😃

It’s really important that we let our reactive dogs have some downtime to just do dog things.
No training, play etc..
Just let them choose what they want to do.

Wow thanks so much for this amazing review.
This is why i chose to specialise in reactivity, it’s so rewarding helping people and their dogs get their lives back on track.
It was such a pleasure working with you and the lovely Debbie. 🐶🐾❤️
We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work Roger did with us to support our anxious and reactive dog. From the very first call, Roger's expertise and compassionate approach were evident. He took the time to understand our dog’s unique challenges and tailored a training plan that was both effective and gentle.
Roger's patience and positive reinforcement techniques have transformed her behaviour. She is now more confident, making walks and interactions with other dogs much more enjoyable. Roger's dedication and genuine care for her well-being have made a world of difference.
We highly recommend Roger Taylor to anyone seeking professional and compassionate training for their pets. Thank you, Roger, for your outstanding work and for helping us all support our anxious pooch to become more confident.

Thanks for this great review.
When I started with Jax he was hyper vigilant and anxious.
I’m pleased to say he is doing so much better and responded to the training really well.
Well done guys you did awesome!🐶🐾😃
If you would like some help with your dogs reactivity drop me a pm now!!!
Great 10 week programme, our GSD Jax has really come a long way since starting, and to have access to different training videos is really helpful. Thank you for everything you done Roger! Highly recommend

Thanks so much for this awesome review.
It was such a pleasure working with you and seeing yours and Winnie’s confidence grow❤️
Winnie has always struggled with her confidence so has always been very reactive as a result. I highly recommend Roger who has given us the tools to increase her confidence, which has helped hugely to reduce her reactivity on walks, around other dogs and people. It’s also given me more confidence to deal with situations correctly and calmly, which helps us both, making our walks much more relaxed and enjoyable. I will now be looking to work in other areas with Winnie, using the huge catalogue of training videos that I will forever have access to, included as part of the 10 week reactivity program with Roger. It’s also reassuring to know that I can book a one off 1-2-1 session with Roger at any point, should I need further help or guidance. Thanks so much Roger for all of your help.

My Beautiful fiancee has revamped her business and is concentrating mainly on training border collies.
If you know anyone struggling with their border collie or if you are yourself, drop Jess a email!!🐶🐾
Hello, and a huge warm welcome to my page 👋
You may have noticed a few changes around here! I'm very proud to officially introduce my new business name, Collie Encounters.
If you are new here and we have never met before, my name is Jessica Richardson.
I am a border collie specialist trainer.
I help and support border collie owners who are struggling so much with their collie's behaviour that they are at a crossroads and don’t know who or where to turn next.
Border collies make the most fantastic companions, but they can also come with lots of challenging behaviour, making living with a border collie very stressful.
Having had my own challenges with my now wonderful border collie, I can identify with the struggles that come with sharing your life with a border collie.
As a professional with 20 years of experience in dog training, my aim is to support border collie owners in training and living effectively with their dog to build the relationship they always dreamed of.
Encountering your collie with new eyes, we can delve into their unique problems and tackle any underlying issues together. Alongside specialised border collie training, I implement a comprehensive approach, blending unique strategies like health, herding activities, nutrition, and holistic methods for successful training!
If you have any questions or would like to know more about how I can help you and your border collie, you can send me a direct message.
📣 I am also so excited to share some more really exciting news with you soon. If you are struggling with your border collie, ensure you like and follow me to be one of the first to know!
*I am APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and ABTC (Animal Behaviour & Training Council) qualified and have a lifelong passion for learning.

Both these dogs were reactive when they started my 10
Week reactivity program.
Check them out now! These dogs have never met before and are less than 5 metres from each other without reacting.
Both dogs were completely calm and happy!!!🐶🐾❤️
Help my dog won’t take treats!!!
Some helpful tips on how to help when your reactive dog won’t take treats.
Had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lad today.
Arlo
Has bitten 3 times before and his owner has worked with 2 other trainers and behaviourist, unfortunately they were unable to help and refused to work with him.
This was his first assessment/ session.
In the video you will see him
Change his response from barking and lunging to gradually calming down and finding the treats rewarding.
This took less than 10 minutes to achieve.
We have lots more work to do but what a great start for Arlo and his mum. 😃❤️🐾
A fully supported 10 week program where I will be giving you the skills, confidence and knowledge to help with your dogs reactivity to dogs and or humans.
Courses starting in August.

Go!!!🐶🐾
Having fun at Weston Supermare with Rada
When I rescued her she was highly reactive to pretty much everything but especially people and dogs.
Look at her now!!😎🐶🐾
Learning that a dog approaching is ok and actually a good thing!! A lot of dogs find a dog approaching very challenging and threatening. #dogtraining #reactivedogtraining #setupforsuccess #HappyDogs #lovemyjob #positivetraining #behaviourchange #happyclient #learningnewskills
Check out Rada!!!
I’m so happy with how Rada is doing. She is now able to make good choices and is growing in confidence everyday.
There is a guy whacking a ball with a tennis racket for his dog which would normally drive Rada crazy.
She is off the lead making great choices.
If you have a dog that is struggling and you want some help.
Please feel free to pm me.
Are you struggling with your dog’s behaviour and WISH you had a dog who listened to you?
We help frustrated dog owners with busy lives to change their dog’s unruly behaviour, communicate effectively and get real life results. By looking at a dog as a whole, and teaching owners how to train their dogs in a positive manner, not only can we change behaviour but we can build an unbreakable bond, and create a better life for the whole family.
Our mission is that every struggling dog owner gets to feel the joy and excitement of realising there is light at the end of the tunnel, and they CAN have the dog - and life - they once dreamed of.
Having owned dogs who were deemed ‘untrainable’, we understand how it feels to be lost, confused and at your wits end. Our empathy, knowledge and 20 years’ experience specialising in the field of behaviour, means our unique and realistic training programs get real life results for hundreds of dog owners each year.
Here are what some of our clients have said about us:
“We have had a lot of issues with our boxer dog Fudge from pulling on the lead to no recall and even what I called attacking me when out walking. We have tried a number of behaviourist in the past spent loads of money and were very nearly running out of hope, options and patience until we got recommended to Roger…. Best money I have spent & would certainly recommend. Thank you Roger”
“We called Jess because Chico our Romanian Rescue was becoming aggressive and territorial towards visitors and guests. Jessica’s observations and knowledge of what was happening were spot on. The remedial programme she gave us worked incredibly well and quickly. 5 months on Chico is a very happy little happy and relaxed dog - We really cannot thank Jessica enough!”
Give us a call today to start your training journey to get you and your dog’s life back on track.
