Suki the Cavapoo

Suki the Cavapoo

My husband and I contacted Sally as we were struggling with our puppy Suki's sleep, separation anxiety and a few other minor issues. We never expected to have such an eye opening conversation! Sally was easy to get hold of and booked us in straight away so that we could get started as soon as possible.

From the off, Sally's advice was really helpful and insightful. It quickly became clear that we were guilty of humanising our dog, and this was leading to confusion for Suki and a lack of control for us. We had got caught up in all the things we had read and been told about. We thought we were prepared as we had read books on puppies and Cavapoos, attended puppy training and had bags of toys and treats. We felt we needed to play and keep her busy all the time, but thanks to Sally, we realised the whole situation we had set up was making it difficult for Suki just to be a dog!

After just a few days of putting Sally's ideas into practice, we already have a calmer puppy, with a much better diet, more sleep, less frequent toileting and better at walking on her lead. We have plenty of work still to do, which Sally is helping us with, but we are sure that with our renewed understanding of dogs, and our altered treatment of Suki, the issues we first came to Sally with should be resolved as we are now looking at the whole picture, not individual behaviours.

We both highly recommend Sally, and I'm sure Suki would too if she could!
