Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love, they depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog, it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big !! ❤🐕🐾

Tracey & James with “Lewis”

Results equals Job satisfaction thats what it’s all about!

When I first met Tracey & James I could see they were really struggling with “Lewis’s”
++ reactive behaviours.
frustration, lack of confidence , no clear direction and confusion had taken over.

I find in these cases I’m assessing the owners as much as the dog , often more so the owners.

Im looking to see if they have it in them for the betterment of the dog.

Tracey & James “Had the stuff” they just needed Help as they had totally committed themselves to “lewis”

I customised & tailored a training strategy and style to suit both Owners and Dog.

(I find a one shoe fits all approach to dog training / behaviour modification doesn’t work , having flexibility of training options allows thinking outside the box )

Tracey & James put in the effort and did the work & the best for “Lewis”

the reward and result is a totally changed Dog.

Great Stuff and congratulations to Tracey & James 👍🏻
Oh & Good dog “Lewis”

Havn’t posted much of late , been super busy with clients and there Dogs
I Just had follow up session
With Frank and “Boris”
When I first met a month ago Boris wanted to
Eat me , in fact Boris wanted to eat everyone and everything.🙈
After a initial consultation & training session a simple strategy and plan to modify Boris unwanted behaviours was set in place.
Today I’ve seen a totally changed dog , under control on , off lead and un muzzled in public
Boris is less stressed , Frank is less stressed.
Well done Frank for “ keeping it real “ with Boris and following the plan.

I do enjoy working with the Bull Breeds (not all trainers do).
I find Using different training techniques to suit different Breeds and Owners allows me to do so.
