I wanted to share my experience with the one-to-one training so far.
Zara is a beautiful 12-month-old Poochon, and she’s definitely not my first dog, so it came as a bit of a surprise when she began showing reactive behaviour around new people. I wouldn’t describe it as anger, but she was clearly very uncomfortable, and it started to become a real issue—especially during grooming sessions. At first, I thought she might just grow out of it, but when it began to seriously affect her grooming, I knew I needed to seek support.
Paul came highly recommended, and I’m so grateful we reached out to him. He’s been amazing. He’s helped me understand that Zara’s behaviour comes from nervousness and fear, not aggression. That shift in understanding has made such a difference—it’s given me the confidence not to feel embarrassed when she reacts, but instead to recognise that she’s asking for space and support.
Through clicker training and guidance on our walks, we’re already seeing huge improvements. After just three sessions, I’d say there’s been about an 80% improvement in both Zara’s behaviour and my own confidence. This week, I was so proud—when Zara reacted, she actually stopped herself and looked at me, waiting for guidance (and, of course, a treat!). That felt like a massive breakthrough.
We still have more sessions to go, but the progress so far has been incredible. It’s also had a really positive impact on her grooming, which is continuing to improve.
I honestly can’t recommend Paul enough. I’m really looking forward to continuing our sessions and learning more. More than anything, I just want Zara to feel happy and confident, and we’re definitely moving in the right direction.
