Posted on Julie TurnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Im so grateful for the help we received from Jennie. Our dog struggled with constant barking at the front door, people coming into our home and separation anxiety, we felt totally stuck. Thanks to Jennie’s calm guidance and practical techniques, I feel more confident going forward. I would highly recommend Jennie.Posted on Taylor WaldonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jenni was fantastic on our one-to-one session. She took us through everything in detail and we're already seeing improvements a week later. Couldn't recommend her enough! 🙂Posted on Tiffany ArnoldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie is actual magic! We have a Romanian rescue who we have trained but her barking in the evenings was getting out of control. There's so much advice online it's hard to know what works best. Then enters Jennie and within minutes the training and advice had already made a difference. My husband and I both agree it's the best money we have ever spent! Jennie is so friendly and lovely too, I was concerned and worried we would be told off or looked at as bad owners but Jennie never made us feel judged at all, just super friendly and helpful! It's made such a difference to our lives in just a week! We can't thank Jennie enough!Posted on Susan StapletonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie visited us today to help with my newly adopted Golden Retriever. Jennie is lovely ☺️ she explained everything so well to us and was brilliant with Daisy my other dog, giving advice on some of her behaviour. Would recommend Jennie to anyone needing help and guidance, whether you just have a pup or older dog. It's so good to have learned a bit about how dogs think and react to situations. It's helped me enormously. I just now need to put it all into practice. Thanks again Jennie ☺️Posted on Ella DelaneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where to begin! Jennie has opened my mind to so many tools to help my rescue pup. I came to her with mainly reactive behaviour around other dogs and selective listening. First walk she demonstrated how to get my newly rescued reactive pup to look at me and actually listen. Following on to the second meet up putting things into practice in the meantime, she solidified our original training and also built some trust between my pup and me by using a lunge lead and recall tips. Jennies advice to put more trust in my pup has gone a long way, it’s reassured me to let him be with other dogs and what to look out for with body language. Since then I have taken him to meet several dogs, even to another dogs house for a complete off lead play date and it went absolutely brilliantly. Jennies training has transformed how I look at the obstacles ahead between me and my pup, instead of thinking ‘where do I even begin?’ I think back to the clear guidance from our first session. Just brilliant! Thank you Jennie, you’ve helped in so many ways that we use day to day! I’m excited to see the progression as the months go on. 🐾🙈🐶Posted on Karen GilesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we had Jennie come and help us with our 8 month old puppy Millie and we was not disappointed her advice and help was really helpful and she engaged with millie our dog very well so many helpful tips and ways to help our puppy behave inside the house and on walks we had a two hour session and learned a lot in this time would definitely recommend Jennie KarenPosted on Tracey WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great first session , feeling empowered and confident for the future. Thank you 🙏Posted on Cara SadlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie was absolutely amazing! She helped me and my puppy, Teddy, with training, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole process fun and easy to follow. Teddy responded so well to her methods, and I feel much more confident continuing the training at home. I highly recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a kind, skilled trainer who truly cares about both dogs and their owners.Posted on jayne GoldingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jennie was very professional, friendly & very helpful giving us tips to help us & our pet Would highly recommend!Posted on Elise SwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Jennie asking for help with Judge my Cavapoochon who was showing high separation anxiety, pulling on the lead and general low impulse control. I’d spent ages over the years trying to research the best training tools with limited success. Jennie was able to help within minutes of meeting. She instantly understood Judge and how best to correct the behaviours. The simple but effective tools / tips she gave were showing instant results. The difficulty I’ve found with the training apps or research online is that they don’t actually understand the context of your dog and many are contradictory! Having someone so specialised in this field help like Jennie, allowed her to instantly know how best to engage and train my dog and was worth every penny. I can’t recommend Jennie enough to everyone I meet who needs big or small help training. You can see how much she loves, understands and cares for dogs which makes her so good at this job. If you are thinking about asking for her help, do not hesitate and just book her in now!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Jennie helped me understand my dog’s fear-based reactivity and gave me the confidence to handle it. Her support changed everything, no stress, just progress.
Leighann from SWF
Testimonial
Really lovely girl who knew her stuff. Managed to get my very difficult puppy walking on a lead on first attempt. Definitely recommend
Tiff from Stow Maries
Testimonial
Jennie helped us with our rescue Border Collie, offering great advice that our dog responded well to. After a walk, our dog’s lead walking improved, and she followed up with a helpful email. Highly recommend!”
