Success stories

From aggression to lead pulling, from puppies to rescue dogs, from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers and all crosses in-between, I have experienced all sorts of problem behaviours. Read more about my methods in these testimonials from some of my dog training clients.

Theo the Sharpei/Rottweiler/Staffie cross

Theo the Sharpei/Rottweiler/Staffie cross
After coming home and finding my house had been destroyed again. I was at my wits end and desperate for a solution. I called Sally and she agreed to see him.

Oscar the Springer Spaniel

Oscar the Springer Spaniel
Within 30 minutes of meeting Oscar Sally had him completely under control and began the more difficult task of re-educating and retraining me!

Hugo and Alfie

Sally with Hugo and Alfie
I was exhausted: five weeks from adoption, little pup (now named Hugo) and Alfie were both running rings around me. Friends recommended Sally - well, what a blessing!

Charlie the Parson Jack Russell

Charlie the Parson Jack Russell
Our first meeting with Sally was just over a week ago and after following her expert advice he is a much happier little dog. It is a pleasure to walk him, he is improving all the time and I am surprised how quickly he is learning now that I know how to communicate with him!

Meeko the German Shepherd

Meeko the German Shepherd
I never thought that in just a few hours I would see my dog walking calmly on the lead or waiting patiently as I walked through doors. But that's what has happened and I feel so relieved and excited to continue on with the training!

Rosie and Jerry the Ridgeback/Alsatian cross and Jack Russell

Rosie and Jerry the Ridgeback/Alsatian cross and Jack Russell
I could hardly believe that within a few weeks Rosie had learnt all Jerry's faults and he was learning none of her virtues. I very soon possessed two badly behaved dogs!

Disa the Elkhound

Disa the Elkhound
I know there is no excuse for my dog’s behaviour and I also know that it was not my dog’s fault but my own fault for letting things get to this point.

Rory the Irish Setter

Rory the Irish Setter
I wish we had met you when we first brought Rory to live with us, we would have saved a fortune on puppy classes, trainers, different leads and harnesses, and treats, none of which worked with him

Neige the Utonagan

Neige the Utonagan
UPDATE: It was a very emotional moment, in the park, on this beautiful and sunny morning. I let Neige off the lead and she didn’t run away, didn’t drive crazy running around, didn’t look for distractions. She focused all her attention on ME, doing anything to PLEASE me.

Jasper the Cocker Spaniel

Jasper the Cocker Spaniel
I had called in a couple of behaviourists but they just got him to do what they wanted by giving him treats and this made his stealing worse.

Three little pups

Myself and my parents had gotten three puppies at the same time. When we got all three dogs together it was pandemonium.

Reggie and Nellie the Beagles

Reggie and Nellie the Beagles
The moment she walked into our house I began crying with shock when I saw what an amazing, magical effect she had on our naughty dogs!

Wilson the Collie/Labrador Cross

Wilson the Collie/Labrador Cross
Behaviours we had encouraged, accepted and ignored had produced a very insecure and highly anxious dog, which unfortunately placed him (or so he felt he had to be) Pack Leader with aggressive tendencies.

Ted the German Shepherd

Ted the German Shepherd
Ted very much dominated everything and anyone in our lives inside and outside the home.

Harry the Cavapoo

Harry the Cavapoo
We have four children in our home aged two to eleven so felt it was imperative for puppy and children that we got it right from the start.

Stanley the Dalmatian

Stanley the Dalmatian
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.

Olly the Patterdale Terrier

Olly the Patterdale Terrier
Our excitement had turned to confusion and frustration, as his behaviour had turned aggressive. He couldn’t walk past people, dogs or bikes without completely losing his rag. Sally has *totally* changed things for us and most of all, for him.

Tyson the Staffie

Tyson the Staffie
After one session there was a remarkable difference – even family and friends were stunned at the change! Sally definitely has a special gift.

Winnie the Cockapoo

Winnie the Cockapoo
The moment Sally entered our home and met Winnie our 18 month old Cockapoo, we couldn't believe how instantly calm she was.

Chester the Cockapoo

Chester the Cockapoo
When Sally came to our home within five minutes the improvement was amazing: our boy was tranformed and the results were unbelieveble.
