The Good Dog Life Avis 6

The training we received to help us with separation anxiety for our 10 month old pup was excellent. The trainer was patient and encouraging. In our case it is showing to be a long, slow process and we received guidance and support from the trainer at all times.

Michelle is great! She helped us with our Romanian rescue who was so reactive to people coming in the house it had become a military operation. We had three sessions with Michelle and it's transformed his behaviour, not just having people over but in general he's a lot calmer and happier now. Michelle is friendly, knowledgeable and a really good teacher.

Michelle helped us get our dog “baby ready”. She has great knowledge of his breed (greyhound) and gave us amazingly practical advice. Michelle took things Scottie already knows and helped us to adapt them for when the baby arrived. Our little girl is now 9 weeks old and Scottie has been great, a few teething issues but we just put in to practice what Michelle taught us and we’ve come out great. Scottie barely bats an eyelid at the baby and will take himself off when she’s crying (lucky him 😅)! Michelle made me feel so much more in control of managing Scottie and the baby which massively eased my anxiety.

The puppy package really helped us bond with our pup, and helped us train her into being a lovely little girl. Thank you so much Michelle.

We can highly recommend Michelle. She is a lovely person and trainer. She is so knowledgeable and has a brilliant way with dogs and our cockapoo Buddy took to her straight away. She is so patient and calm and as first time dog owners we felt so reassured and more confident (which grew every time Michelle visited for our 121 sessions) both at home and in the park.

We were apprehensive in letting our puppy onto the long lead but with Michelle at our side and her guidance we felt more confident and have been on our own since.

We still reinforce Michelle's training and values and will also look to have additional training with Michelle in the future.

I cannot praise and recommend her enough. We were so fortunate to have been recommended Michelle and with her guidance we have grown in confidence.

It has been a pleasure working with Michelle. She is a complete natural with dogs and we have learnt so much. Walks with Poppy are far less stressful now - far less pulling on the lead, much calmer around other dogs, people and children. Far more off lead adventures because of the trust that has developed.

As first time dog owners our confidence has grown and we feel we communicate and understand Poppy much better than we did before the training sessions. As a result undesirable attention seeking behaviour at home has improved considerably.

The notes Michelle supplies are great to look back at to remind us of commands and activities we can make use of. Importantly Poppy loved the training and she is also mentally stimulated by the games/tricks Michelle showed us - very useful for rainy days! Would highly recommend Michelle and would certainly call on her services again should we experience any difficulties in the future.
