Lifeskills For You And Your Dog

Such a brave Superstar!!

This is Miss Tilly🐩
When I adopted Tilly at the age of 2 she had severe separation anxiety and would constantly bark at strangers or new people coming over for a visit. This was no fault of her own but due to lack of training from her first family. For the last three years I tried many techniques to help with her anxiety but it always seemed to fail. I started getting complaints from neighbors about her whining and howling whenever I would leave the house. After so many stressful nights and days Jenn was recommended to me. I was told that she is a miracle worker for dogs suffering from severe anxiety. Wow! That statement is 1000% correct! I never thought I would see the day that Tilly could cope on her own without me around and now I have🙌 Jenn is honestly amazing!❤She has helped Tilly grow so much confidence that Tilly now goes up to people for cuddles and pats just because she can. Jenn crate trained Tilly to the point that she doesn't howl or whine anymore! I would recommend Jenn to anyone that is experiencing any problems with their dog. The passion she has for what she does is so inspiring and she really knows exactly what to do for your dog!🙌 I truly feel like Jenn is a dog whisperer😂 I am so privileged to have received the help and support that she provided to us. Tilly and I can finally live our happy little lives without her crippling anxiety all thanks to Jenn❤

I love getting updates... Maggie is a canterbury girl that found life very rough and was terrified. Thanks to dedicated owners she now enjoys the world alot more...
Maggie update. After several months on the long lead at the park, her recall is around 90%. In one situation she was running across the park to see some other dogs and I called her and she turned 90 degrees and ran straight up to me. I've shortened the lead now and she is brilliant. Is way better in the car too. Thanks for all the advice. Again, I reckon you have saved her life. So pleased to have met you. Merry Christmas!

Coco - the cavoodle in foreground doesn't spend much time around other dogs so she has been having some confidence building sessions. Gosh she tries so hard to please. 🥰

This cutie is Aro.. referred by her vet for her issues when she saw people.. her theory was if you sight a human, you stop drop and roll. It was odd behaviour because although it appeared very submissive and fearful to most I could see it wasn't. Aro for some unknown reason had total belief that's how you greeted people. Making walks long and slow. And the poor owners thought everyone would think they treated her terribly. In 7 days with a little dedication from her owners the behaviour has ceased and she greets everyone with confidence and joy. I was even surprised at her quick turn around. Go Team Aro. 🥰

Tosh also known as Kitty... a wee special case I took on for a local rescue... I'm privileged to do what I do... this terrified soul allowed me to gain her trust and literally changes by the hour to be all she is meant to be. A happy confident member of the community in 14 short days 🥰

I'm posting this up because this is one amazing friendship and testimony to their mum Abby. If you raise your dogs right, regardless of breed magic happens... and because that's one boss bunny!!

I really have lost count of numbers but I never forget who.... Buddy was a superstar and allowed me to help him and his wonderful owner Naomi. Buddy is the larger cream dog.
Her Words.... This is Buddy, he was rehomed from a friend to me as he just didn't fit in with the other dogs they owned. Buddy didn't know how to wag his tail, he was extremely agoraphobic and had no concept of how to interact with other dogs.

Jenn worked her magic, she taught me in these cases all behaviours are extreme but we would guide him to find his happy medium, he learnt to play and build a strong bond with his sister dog Honey..

This is our beautiful girl Sadie who was a totally different girl before Jenn helped her

Feedback from clients after one visit. Dont just live with the problems, sometimes it's a simple fix.....Big improvements. His sleeping habits have changed for the better. He has access to the back of the house and the barking has improved immensely.

Remember your dog is doing the best he can with the information YOU are providing!
