Testimonials
Gemma is amazing as a dog trainer. We have a reactive 18 month old German shepherd. She’s everyone’s best friend off lead but on lead is a different matter.
Gemma has helped us through socialisation on lead walks with other dogs and Calmer Class where we can get used to being around other dogs on lead in a safe environment.
Our dog has come so far it’s amazing and Gemma has helped my confidence in dealing with her reactivity too.
Cannot recommend highly enough.
Here are some picture of our recent holiday to show her walking calmly in a town centre and laid in a pub despite a dog at the next table …. Never thought it would be possible
We booked a session with Gemma to help with our reactive border collie. She has given us some fantastic tools to use to help him become much more comfortable on the lead and although we have a long way to go, we can already see improvements after just a few days! We love the reward based approach and feel like Gemma is just as invested as us in teaching our boy how to be calm on the lead! I would highly recommend her services.
