"Brodie came round to help with our one year old springer spaniel’s separation anxiety, she suggested crate training and took Reggie from bending very timid around it to sleeping in it for 1/2 an hour! She works absolute wonders and has been so helpful!

100% would recommend to anyone!"

"In just a few weeks we’ve seen a huge improvement in his behaviour at home which we have been able to build on & continue his training. He is more settled and we’ve noticed he’s much less fazed by dogs that approach him when we’re out & about"

"Brodies worked tirelessly to instill confidence into our fear-driven reactive German Shepherd. Otis the Renegade lol is now growing into himself with her help and is becoming the dog he was always meant to be. Brodie has responded with house calls and support sessions when we were at our wits end with him. She demonstrates an excellent understanding of where your dog is at and how to move forward. Myself and my partner (and Otis) would highly recommend them."

"Brodie helped us with our reactive and anxious cockapoo. We’d got to a point we were ready to give up, thinking we weren’t good dog parents. We wanted a dog we could enjoy, we started to avoid taking him anywhere and we knew he was miserable.

A few early life incidents had affected his behaviour, then our body language and leadership was making it worse.
Brodie visited and listened to every element of our lives and observed us with him, because it all matters! So much attention to detail.

We now know how to spot early signals and interrupt the reaction. He’s so clever he now sees a trigger and looks excitedly for a treat!

We got such practical and real life advice we saw changes in just a few days. In our training session we actually went to greet another dog and gave it a treat! We can now go past runners and bikes etc and control him :)

Can’t wait to keep seeing him getting happier and more settled... and perfecting his behaviour.

Just wish we’d consulted Brodie earlier, really changed our lives. Thank you!"

"Maisie is my 11 year old working cocker spaniel who has a gentle nature but unfortunately had learnt behaviour of barking at other dogs on walks. This had been learnt from her mum who barked at other dogs to 'protect' her when a young puppy. Her mum stop barking as she grew bigger but Maisie carried on- she was frightened of other dogs.This barking could sometimes sound quite nasty and made walking her quite challenging. We tried our own methods of changing her behaviour with some improvement but it was not enough. Last year we decided to have a new puppy and one of the main reasons was for a doggy companion for Maisie but we did not want the puppy to pick up this barking behaviour from Maisie.

This was the point we contacted Brodie. From the start I asked Brodie if Maisie could change at the age of 11. Was it too late? Brodie assessed Maisie and the family very thoroughly with a written and verbal assessment and then observation on a walk. She then gave feedback that she thought it more likely that she could improve but could not give 100% guarantee. This was encouraging enough to start. Brodue gave us a clear plan to work with which involved the whole family. Consistency was the key! Brodie also gave Maisie sessions at her centre which gradually introduced her to other dogs of different sizes and temperaments to work with.

This was over a 3 month period.

The outcome is Maisie has stopped barking at other dogs, the puppy is now 6 months old and very well behaved on walks and has not picked up any bad habits from Maisie. All the family have walked them over the Christmas period in different locations- on Lakeland fells to Kendal town centre. All given positive feedback.

Brodie helped me to work out what needed to change and she did this in a professional way."

Brodie taught us how to recall Reggie who is so easily distracted when out in the field. he loves people, dogs and balls but with the technique Brodie showed us he comes back every time (almost 🤣). he is so much better.
