"Joanne has been a tremendous help with our troubled rescue dog Juke."
She worked with us both to correct Juke's reactive behaviour towards other dogs and successfully managed to stop him pulling on the lead and lunging towards other dogs. Thanks to Joanne, I now enjoy dog walking and feel much more confident and relaxed about how Juke will behave when we are out."

Helping with unwanted dog behaviours
Dogs become part of the family and dog ownership is hugely rewarding and enjoyable. However, it is not unusual for dogs to develop unwanted behaviours such as jumping up, begging, excessive barking, pulling on the lead, fears and phobias, anxiety and aggression.
Personalised Training Plans
The good news is, that as an owner, you can have a huge influence on your dog’s behaviour and you can quickly establish the new behaviours you’d like to see and avoid those unwanted ones.
This starts with understanding your dog’s breed, natural drives, instincts, diet, experiences and what your dog needs. Together with an understanding of how your dog learns and communicates you can pin-point which behaviours can be changed and which behaviours need to be redirected in a healthy way.
IMDT qualified dog trainer
I am a positive reward dog trainer. Reward-based training is a positive reinforcement method that encourages desired behaviours by offering rewards, like treats, praise or toys, when the dog performs a behaviour correctly. This method builds trust between the owner and the dog while making learning enjoyable for both.

"Jo has given us the tools to work with our rescue dog Lil"
"After our new Greek rescue dog Lil started showing behaviour problems, we realised we needed professional help. Jo has given us the tools to work with Lil and her professional approach and knowledge of different methods of behavioural modification are starting to show. Jo has been an important weekly visitor to both Lil and ourselves giving us confidence back in ourselves and our dog. She has also taught us some fun commands that Lil has picked up really quickly that we probably would never have thought of teaching her. Thank you Jo for all your help."
