“As failed fosterer’s we knew we were taking on a lot and initially had no idea how to cope and where to start. Our dog is a 2yr old great dane, who is so loving to us but was not socialised at the correct time as a puppy therefore she is nervous of everyone and everything. Michelle helped us understand why the dog did certain things and once you can understand the dog’s way of thinking it all feels like a load has been lifted from your shoulders and you can actually start to make progress.Our dog has come on so much, if it wasn’t for Michelle I’m not sure if the dog would still be with us. We still have a long way to go but I know Michelle will there to guide us through every obstacle that we encounter.”

“We asked Michelle to help us with our 4 year old Weimaraner Polo who was displaying a number of worrying behaviours including dog on dog aggression and resource guarding. Michelle came over for the first visit and was so friendly and personable and really filled you with confidence. Polo absolutely adored her especially when she started feeding him treats when showing us an example exercise. She asked us lots of questions and played with Polo and Natalie, she then wrote us a detailed report which outlined the background root causes of his issues and also gave us a number of exercises to do with him each day/week. We made a plan and followed it with Polo which he absolutely loved (as did Natalie as it meant more treats!) and we had a two month follow on appointment with Michelle last week. We are so impressed at the change in his behaviour, he is happier, calmer and an all round more reliable dog. Michelle has given us the tools, knowledge and confidence to help Polo and as with any training we acknowledge importance of putting her plan into action, following through and staying consistent. We still have a way to go but we are definitely on the path to success due to the sessions and reports from Michelle. Thank you Michelle for all of your help and we are looking forward to the next follow up so that Polo can show you even more improvement in his behaviour!”
