so much for all your help, it helps so much to understand what Bree
is doing and hopefully continue to make her feel able to cope better!"
Jane Pankhurst,

"Everything
you have told us has had a big impact upon Betsy in a very positive
way."
Carrie Stork,
Bridport
"I realise
that quite a few months have gone by since we saw you with Mutley
and I thought I'd just give you a quick up date... This week I had
been walking him off lead down a quiet byway when he suddenly ran
very close to me, and looking up at me as if to tell me something
and when I've looked behind me there has been a mountain biker flying
towards us - this has happened twice so I really feel he is trying
really hard. Of course I gave him lots of yummy treats and loads
of praise! .. we are really happy with his progress so far. Just
a little at a time!"
Jenny Baylis,
Salisbury
"We are really
pleased with her progress, thanks to you! .. She hasn't snapped
at one person since your visit. Regarding aggression towards other
dogs, the difference is amazing."
Dorothy Davies,
Poole
"I just have to
tell you about this as I honestly doubted that I would ever be able
to call Dizzy off a predatory chase once she was in full flight
but it happened!.. I never thought that anything would be preferable
to a running target, thank you for your support and advice we would
never have made it this far without it".
Nicky Courage, Poole
"I want to
say thank you so much for your help with the boys, especially Odie.
It's really changed our lives for the better"

"Just to
let you know all is going well with Roxy, I have not had any problems
since we met and she has been with a lot of other dogs at the park
and beach."
Darren White,

"I thought
you might like to know Frodo is doing really well with the cats
now
he's now happy to say hello through the stairgate and
then wander off again
I'd recommend you highly - I think we'd
have really benefited if we'd been able to consult you about early
training when Frodo was a puppy."
Liz Bennett,
Dorchester

for sending everything over and for such a helpful session yesterday.

working on some of these issues.."

"Thank you
very much for today. Stan and I feel so much happier about going
forward with Inky now, and in the right manner, having listened
to your advice. Everything you said made sense, and I'm just really
pleased that Rachel recommended you. .. Again, thank you ever so
much. You were brilliant, and I'd recommend you tomorrow to anyone
needing help with their dog, or child, frankly..!"

"Hi Helen
just to let you know that Alfie is doing just great and I feel he
is probably 90% back to normal
We are all so much happier and
I can t thank you enough for all your help I am sure we maybe would
of had to find him a new home if things escalated any further."
Bev Pearce, Weymouth
"It has been
some time since you called to see Fin. Just an up-date - we have
a completely new dog following your visit!! He is still a bit wary
of strangers but is accepting people into the house and also when
we are out walking. He is also not as afraid of vehicles ... all
in all he is great."
Paul Bradley,
Shillingstone
"It was a
pleasure to meet with you today and I am grateful (as will be Helga)
for the wealth of information and the professional and friendly
way it was presented."

in Helga's behaviour are dramatic."
Geoff Wright,

thrown away the cans and bean bags and strangely enough the atmosphere
is so much calmer."

"We wanted
to say a big thank-you for the Puppy and Junior Classes. Merlin
has benefitted tremendously from attending them; it's made him much
more attentive and he thoroughly enjoys doing the various exercises.
Out walking he's extremely obedient with the recall and "wait"
when I ask for that when he's actually walking along - it's good
to see. Also many thanks for all your help with any problems we
had; it's good to know that there's someone out there in whom one
has confidence. I always feel that if I throw a problem at you,
you'll have a good answer!"
Vivien Grieve,
Charleton Horethorne
"All in all

to update and say that Jayla is making great progress. She has not
barked when coming near other dogs for a while now and I have been
very impressed with her progress. Thank you for you help."
Kirsty Young,
Shroton
"Jake really
is making fantastic progress with the noise phobia, it's hard work
but very much worth it
He's much, much calmer with [son's name]
now and quite often approaches him and sits at his feet. He's also
shown quite an improvement with people leaving the house. Overall,
we've seen some pretty substantial improvements in his behaviour
and are very pleased."
Mark Kiernan,
Blandford Forum

got to the point out on walks when if she is off the lead and sees
another dog, she runs up wagging ...We cannot thank you enough for
your help and advice..I was initially very sceptical ..but now,
seeing how it can work with what was such a problem is quite amazing.

responding to 'down', 'stay' and 'in your bed' really well. Jumping
up also improving."

"Been meaning
to mail you - sorry it's a bit late - but a great big thankyou from
Scruff and me. Scruff is a different dog (still the same character
though) - he's much easier to give up things … and on walks he is
now off the lead across fields.. the way it should be... thank you
thank you … your training has given us both the confidence we lacked
….. If I let him go off in front he now looks back at me quite often
in case there is a new command or hangs by my side looking up at
me … and is quite willing to accept other dogs as well as Sweetie…..
wonderful!!"
Syd Guppy,
Shaftesbury

for the help with Ruby. All is going well - she is a different dog
-the jumping [up] has all but stopped and she walks much better
on the lead.Thanks again."
Lindsay and
Nigel Baldaro, Crewkerne
"Just a quickie
to thank you for the help with His Lordship. I found the classes
very helpful and I think he is learning at last. I will carry on
with the practice sheets and hopefully the next time you see us,
he will be paw perfect, not pulling and off the lead! ....I would
very much like to do the Advanced class."

is an absolute miracle!!"

you how different you are to the other class we tried. We only went
once."

so fantastic we just don't want to get anyone else … however it
was so difficult to find someone in the first place and since I
have, I have had so many people say 'my god the change is amazing'
and 'what have you done?!' "
