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.

Jo the Bristol dog walker

I was speechless and in awe not just of the incredible relationship Sally has with her dogs, but of how totally immersed she is in their world and her role as pack leader.

Tara the Labrador

Tara the Labrador
Just had to let you know that this morning's walk was the best for years. Tara was good as gold and I remembered not to pull on lead. Many thanks Sally, I think it can only get better from now on!

Sonny the Shetland Sheepdog

Sonny the Sheltie
Last week he was getting rewarded by everyone whether he was nibbling, nipping or licking them, fairly frenetically. This week he was rewarded for being incredibly calm and peaceful... which is what we're all seeking, isn't it?

Blaze the German Shepherd

Blaze the German Shepherd
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!

Florence the Beagle

Florence the Beagle
We had Florence from a puppy and relied on treat rewarding which was just giving us an overweight, grumpy and unresponsive dog.

Bob the Jack Russell

Bob the Jack Russell
After only two sessions with Sally, the improvements are notable and people comment that he is a “different dog”.

Ozzie the Labrador Cross

Ozzie the Labrador Cross
In himself he seems a much more happy and relaxed dog, and is learning that being a follower rather than a leader will make his life much more enjoyable and stress free.

Bran the German Shepherd

Bran the German Shepherd
We got in touch with Sally as we were lost as to what to do. Since our two sessions Bran is a different dog. He has changed dramatically, he is chilled at home, no more destruction of our belongings.

Archie the Labrador

Anne and Archie
He is a changed dog; still some issues need to be addressed but all in good time. It is a joy to see Sally working with a dog and the way the dog responds.

Barney the Bulldog

Barney the Bulldog
When staying with my family, he ran straight after the village priest, jumping up and bearing his teeth. VERY EMBARRASSING!

Nana the Border Collie

Nana the Border Collie
You have taught us some very simple but effective skills that allow us to communicate with our dog as a dog and she is so much calmer and relaxed now as a result.

Rosie the Labradoodle

Rosie the Labradoodle
I could hardly believe it - the first time Sally came to our home our lives and our dog's life changed. Sally's quiet assertive manner and behaviour and using very few words had our dog lying quietly on the floor.

Sonny the Labrador and Frankie the Jug

Sonny the Labrador and Frankie the Jug
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.

Baker & Boo the Chihuahuas

Baker & Boo the Chihuahuas
So we have our third session shortly, and can’t wait for the next stage in our training. It’s got to be seen to be believed and just like having Caesar Milan in your home!

Eve the Whippet

She suffered from quite severe anxiety when left alone for any period of time, destroying her bedding, blankets, and soiling everywhere, including in her crate. From the first contact with Sally it was obvious that she understood exactly what our dog needed.

Buddy the Staffie

Buddy the Staffie
We have already had 'training' for his problems with no effect and were at our wits' end.

Archie the Cocker Spaniel

Archie the Cocker Spaniel
Our beautiful little Cocker is now well on his way to becoming another dog we can proudly take out into the outside world!

Riley the German Shepherd

Riley the German Shepherd
UPDATE: After just a few sessions with Sally what a difference this has made to our lives. Our German Shepherd now has a Pack Leader - me!

Cariad the Spoodle

Cariad the Spoodle
Probably the major thing for me to accept from that first session was that Cariad was a dog and shouldn't be demeaned by treating her as a human (eat your heart out famous pet supermarkets) and with that came my elevation to pack leader.

Mikey the Greyhound

Mikey the Greyhound
Several weeks ago, myself and my recently rescued Greyhound, Mikey, had been attacked on a walk. Mikey was terribly injured and his lack of confidence on walks (and mine!) combined with the traumatic experience prompted me to seek out the right help for us.
