pulling on the lead

It's been three days since our first session and we have already noticed a huge difference in Stanley. He no longer jumps on us when we open the doors, he is happy lying on his own bed and not our sofa or chairs.

Blaze is a medically retired Prison dog who needed re-homing, perfectly trained, strong and obedient... great for a prison and an experienced owner! Sadly we were neither!

I contacted Sally having thought I had tried everything to sort out problems with both my dogs. Sally's approach was a refreshing change. I now have a calm and controlled household.

UPDATE: So for the second session with Sally I thought there was no way we could move forward much, how wrong I was.

UPDATE: We have just had our 3rd session with Sally for Benji, over a period of 4 weeks and feel we have made a huge amount of progress. Sally has taught us how to be the leaders in our house, where the work to rehabilitate really starts.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sally has been blessed with this unique gift of talking to the animals. She is a joy to work with and it is a privilege to be in her company. Sally is an inspiration. My parents and I are looking forward very much to the next visit and to continue our learning to be the 'pack leader'.

After purchasing my sixth TV remote, minus many shoes and several pairs of glasses I was at the end of my tether over the behaviour of our beloved Patterdale terrier aged 20 months.

After the first session many of our bad habits were corrected and Heidi responded amazingly - no further over-enthusiastic greeting of visitors, no pulling on the lead and happy to walk where we wished to go.

Bartie is an Indian Pariah (or Indian National Dog/Street dog). Four months ago when we returned to the UK, we had to put him quarantine for four months. Bartie got through quarantine just fine, but within a few days, he started showing signs of overt dominance both inside the house with us and outside in the park.
