Dogs do their best to communicate with us.
They use body language to tell us how they are feeling about a situation.
Happiness, Fear, Frustration, Excitement, Stress, Worry and many many emotions can be seen through body language - which is why it's SO important we know how to read their body language.

Does your dog have a good temperament and is a people- pup?

Id love to help your dog achieve therapy dog level either through group classes (Availability in January), or through 1:1 support.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review!

"Highly recommend Bethany, we contacted her as we have a very lively cockapoo who had turned 18 months old and was ruling the roost in all areas of our lives! We had started to dread going on walks as he pulled terribly on the lead, he had no recall, and had become reactive to dogs out of excitement, so he was permanently on the lead. Then in the house his barking at any tiny little thing was starting to become a bigger problem, and he had to get in there first to all visitors, and had also started to show reactivity towards humans in the weeks before reaching out to Bethany.
The first session had us astounded (it was almost a therapy session for us!) but Jasper remained on his bed quietly focused on Bethany the whole time - we had never known him so well behaved! Our following training sessions only built on that foundation with Bethany showing us how to keep Jasper calm and focused on us, even in the most excitable situations whilst out on a walk. The training sessions have been a total game changer, with us even managing to introduce Jasper carefully but successfully to some of his new doggy neighbours in the area we've newly moved to! The move also went like a dream and Jasper is very chilled and happy in his new home - and we look forward to taking him on walks now!"

Meet Locksley!

After hitting adolescence with vengeance, Locksleys lead walking and recall has been spiralling. Also with him coming from working lines, he's very busy and active, and spends time crying at the door when he sees a pigeon. 🐦

He's extremely clever (which is half of mum's issue!) but when we start to unlock his potential, he soars!

Any dog going through adolescence can throw us curve balls continuously! As owners, it's our job to be consistent, and reward for the behaviours we love!

You can do it Locksley!

Welcome to Eadie the English Bull Terrier!

Eadie has only recently found her forever home and her dad was keen to start the training process when it came to nipping, jumping up as well as self control and lead walking training.

She's such a sweetheart 😘 and at just over a year old, has all the time in the world to catch up on love and a happy life ❤️‍🩹

Teddy the Chihuahua is unable to walk past a dog without continuing to bark and lunge towards them.

After putting in the work at home, I invited Teddy and his owner to start dog desensitization with my Beagle, Rufus.
After 15 minutes of training at distance work, Teddy found peace with himself and Rufus and made friends with him 💕

I think this is a record for Rufus' calm nature working it's magic on a reactive dog... But it goes to show. if you are consistent, and show a nervous dog some kindness the sky's the limit! 🌎
