Testimonials
"Tia is an extremely talented dog trainer, patient, firm and clearly loves dogs. She has done wonders with our Tibetan Terrier who has a mind of his own! We really look forward to our training sessions and always come away feeling a little more in control! "
"Tia has been so helpful to us over the past few months giving us a lot of invaluable advice about so many topics ranging from sleep patterns, feeding to socialising alongside some excellent training for our cockapoo. Her techniques and lessons are so effective and we have really seen a positive effect in our puppy’s behaviour. We have had several compliments about how well behaved she is which great. Thank you Tia!"
"Tia has been really fantastic at helping us deal with training and behavioural issues with our young working cocker spaniel. She is always completely understanding and has given us brilliantly effective and practical advice; her training techniques are clear, realistic and easy to put into practice. In particular, her advice and techniques for dealing with our dog's ball obsession has been so massively helpful and transformed her behaviour. Thank you!"
"Best wishes"
Ellie with Morag (4 month old cockerpoo)
"I was feeling completely overwhelmed and struggling with a new Cokapoo puppy of 4 months. To the point I was looking to rehome her as I didn’t think things would improve.
Amelia was available to talk on the phone and she came to visit me and my dog at our house. She was professional and kind and available.
Amelia’s Key strengths:
- Works at pace of owner and dog.
- Compassionate and emotionally intelligent – makes owner feel supported and encouraged on the journey.
- Has lots of useful/helpful suggestions for improving dog/owner experience eg what treats/activities/speed to take things.
- Extensive knowledge of all the issues I brought to her including what to do when Morag wouldn’t walk out the door/whining when left alone/jumping up & biting at toddler/ older girls lifting dog up/school gate interaction.
I was thoroughly delighted with Amelia’s help and advice. Morag has become part of the family and we are making steady progress on many different issues. I have grown 100% in confidence as an owner and now have a strong bond with Morag."
Norman, 2 year old cockerpoo
"Amelia has been wonderful on walks with our cockapoo Norman. He can be very anxious and reactive, but Amelia has been very patient with him and taken things at a pace he is comfortable with in order to build his trust and confidence. He’s always so excited to see Amelia and now enjoys his walks rather than it being a trigger for his anxiety!"
