    What owners say

    Real goals, real changes, in their own words.

    Rated 5 out of 5

    We had tried everything for the pulling. After the first session I understood why it never worked, and three weeks later my daughter can walk Biscuit to school.

    Before
    Two hands on the lead, every walk
    Now
    Relaxed walks to school with the kids
    Claire M.Biscuit, 2-year-old spaniel

    Rated 5 out of 5

    The long line felt slow at first. Then one Saturday Nova turned away from a group of dogs because Amelia had taught us how to make coming back a party.

    Before
    Never off lead, ever
    Now
    Comes back from a full gallop
    Tom and AishaNova, 9-month-old husky cross

    Rated 5 out of 5

    The videos were the key. Seeing Pippin's stress start so early changed how we trained, and the weekly reviews kept us honest.

    Before
    Howled within two minutes of us leaving
    Now
    Sleeps through a two-hour absence
    Margaret D.Pippin, 6-year-old golden retriever

    I wish we had booked before Ginny came home. The class was calm, the notes were brilliant, and Rose answered every worried message.

    Before
    Biting hands and sleeves all evening
    Now
    Settles on her mat after dinner
    Jonas W.Ginny, 4-month-old shiba

    Rated 5 out of 5

    Daniel never made me feel judged. We went at Ash's pace, and now we can pass a dog across the street with a loose lead and a wagging tail.

    Before
    Walks at 5am to avoid other dogs
    Now
    Lunchtime walks in the park again
    Priya S.Ash, 3-year-old greyhound

    Teen club saved our sanity. The games give Moose something to do with all that energy, and the recall came back better than ever.

    Before
    Forgot every cue at 8 months
    Now
    Waits at gates and doors
    Ben L.Moose, 14-month-old labrador

    Questions owners ask

    Can't find yours? Call us, or send a message from the contact page.

    Ask a question

    Do you use punishment or special collars?

    No. We only use reward-based methods, without choke, prong or electric collars. They work, and they keep your dog's trust in you.

    My dog is seven. Is it too late?

    Not at all. Adult dogs learn very well; it can take a little longer to replace an old habit, and we plan for that.

    Where do the sessions take place?

    Private sessions happen at your home or on the walks where the problem shows up. Group classes run on our fenced field, with an indoor hall when it rains.

    How quickly will I see a change?

    Most owners notice a difference within two weeks if they practise five minutes a day. Reactivity and separation problems take longer, and we tell you so at the first meeting.

    What if I miss a group class?

    Tell us 24 hours before and you can join the same class later in the week, or catch up at the start of the next course.

    Do you work with vets?

    Yes. If pain or illness could be part of the problem, we ask your vet to check first and share our plan with them.
