Jo Churlish Animal Behaviour and Training

17/11/2025

I am really looking forward to my next online interactive Calm Dog Course that is starting on 27th November!

Here are a few words from Karen and lovely Elsie....

"Jo gave us amazing motivation, support and advice with our excitable dog. This is why I would highly recommend Jo Churlish's Calm Dog Course.

Jo explained the reasoning behind unwanted dog behaviour and gave us useful and relevant training exercises, Tellington TTouch Method techniques, ACE Free Work and Engagement Activities, all of which really helped transform our dog.

During the training I also had the opportunity to ask as many questions as I wanted and full access to training materials and videos both during and after the course.

This training has made me not only a better owner, but helped me to develop a deeper understanding of dogs."
(Karen and 'Elsie')

From Jen and lovely Lola....

"This is Lola, a 19 month old cockerpoo and my first dog. We have been attending Jo's classes (both puppy and progression) which have been invaluable.
Lola benefits as she is stimulated in the class and learns how to safely be around other dogs.
As her owner I have benefitted enormously too, learning core skills through Jo's patient guidance which has meant that I am able to give Lola lots of freedom in the knowledge that she knows how to behave and I know how to help her achieve this.
Jo has used a variety of methods to help both Lola and I learn.
The class size has meant that everyone gets time with Jo, meaning she tailors her guidance to individual needs.
I would recommend Jo without hesitation."
(Jen and Lola)

From Janet and lovely Betty Boo....
"Betty Boo is our 1 year old cockerpoo. She is the second dog I have taken to Jo's classes.
Jo is calm, patient and very knowledgeable. Her classes are small so each owner and their dog receives a great deal of time and attention.
The classes are relaxed and friendly and teach real life skills you will use out and about with your dog.
I have also attended the TTouch workshop and completed the Calm Dog Course.
The change I have seen in Betty Boo and how our relationship has become stronger is very much down to the skill and expertise of Jo Churlish."
(Janet and Betty Boo)

And this is from Jill and lovely Rosie:

"Rosie is a 3 yr old Labradoodle. We have done the Calm Dog Course, TTouch Training, and Training Walks with Jo. We still attend Wednesday morning classes as well.

Jo is a great teacher, calm and kind. She will always find alternative solutions if one isn’t working for your dog.

Rosie and myself have really benefitted. She is a lot calmer and great with the Grandchildren.

I can thoroughly recommend going to Jo’s classes

I have been sent some lovely reviews recently. This one is from Chris and lovely Lucy:

This is Lucy our 3year old cockapoo. I have attended Puppy Classes, a TTouch workshop, and weekend Walking Classes.

When I first attended the classes I quickly realised how Lucy suffered from separation anxiety. With the patience and guidance of Jo Lucy has become a much more confident little dog and I am more confident and relaxed when training her.

Jo’s knowledge is of the highest quality. I can’t thank Jo enough. I would thoroughly recommend Jo to all puppy/dog owners as it’s not just the basic training but how she introduces individual training techniques that suite each owner and puppy to get the best out of your beloved little pal

Thank you Jo

Please read this important information to keep your pets safe!

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) is urging pet owners to take precautions when walking dogs near freshwater bodies this summer, as the warm weather brings with it an increased risk of toxic blue-green algae growth.

Hi everyone

I am really looking forward to the my new Puppy Class that starts next Wednesday at Bowburn Community Centre (I have been running classes here for over 20 years).

If you, or anyone you know, have a puppy under 6 months old then this is the perfect opportunity to get training, support, and advice to help you and your young dog get off to a flying start!

I have been working professionally with dogs, and other animals, for over 40 years! My training methods are all reward-based, calm, and help to build positive happy bonds!

You can find more details on my website:

I hope to see you and your puppy soon.
Jo
