I contacted John as I have a 4 year old french bulldog that I've had for 2 years and she is so reactive and aggressive to people and other dogs. I've tried other trainers but all they done was put a slip lead on her or they said spray her with water. John came to see her and showed me what to do and what I was doing wrong as I didn't realise I was making her worse. I know it will be challenging but with everything he has taught me after only 1 lesson I know I can help her.

We contacted John as our 4 1/2 year old Cockapoo had been snapping and showing signs of aggression for approx one year. She is very sensitive to loud noises especially fireworks. We were referred to a vet behaviourist by our vet. She was prescribed painkillers and possibly out of date training methods which we stopped after a while as we were not getting anywhere. John has completely changed our outlook on dog training by using positive reinforcement, and as our Lottie is treat orientated, has taken like a duck to water. We still have a way to go with training but after John's very knowledgeable advice and training techniques we are 100% sure we'll get there.I would recommend John to everyone who is concerned about their dogs behaviour. He really does understand the needs of our beloved pets. Thank you John

Our wee one year old Staffie was becoming reactive with other dogs and we wanted to make sure we were doing the right thing for her. Helen called us back and right away I knew we had someone with great knowledge and experience. Before our session she sent us lots of information and preparation tasks. During our session we started outside as she demonstrated and explained techniques, then observed and guided us. We then moved indoors and she spent a long time demonstrating and guiding us to communicate more effectively with Mabel. It was clear right away that the methodology was kind, intuitive and very effective. Helen’s empathy extended to us and our pup, giving us the confidence to build a lovely relationship. Helen has continued to stay in touch, sending information and asking how we are doing. I would highly recommend the Glasgow Dog Trainers as professional, humane and empathetic people. There were no harsh words, no painful tools and lots of understanding.

We began working with Helen when Nelson was just 12 weeks old, as we felt it was important to start his training early given how big he would eventually grow. Helen helped us establish structure and set good habits right from the beginning, making sure we put the right work into his development.She taught us how to help Nelson relax, so he can now settle himself both at home and when we take him out to cafés or bars. Helen also supported us in teaching him to walk nicely on the lead, develop a reliable recall, and even perform an emergency stop for situations where he might otherwise put himself in danger. We are now feeling confident going into Nelson's adolescence phase, that we have built a good skillset to help navigate hiim through.We would definitely recommend Helen for anyone with a new puppy looking for support in training or for older dogs looking to learn new tricks! Helen is a natural with animals, Nelson was her biggest fan!Thanks again Helen X

I contacted Helen as I was having problems walking Bear who became aggressive and anxious as soon as he was on a lead and around other dogs. Although we have only had one session, I left feeling more confident and equipped with tools to walk Bear and deal with the situations that had previously distressed him. From our initial meeting Helen made me feel relaxed and for the first time in years I actually enjoyed walking my dog! Thank you!

We initially reached out as our dog had become really anxious at night time due to noise sensitivity, which was triggered by fireworks. Helen was great to work with and really took the time to understand our whippet. She provided us with the tools to help rebuild our dogs confidence which has made a massive difference already. We managed to make it through bonfire night without the usual panting and crying which felt like a massive milestone. Seeing the difference has really helped us to stick to our daily training. Highly recommend Helen to anyone who is struggling with an anxious dog or looking to rebuild their dogs confidence.

I called upon the help of Glasgow Dog Trainer and Behaviourist as I was struggling with my 1 year old Maltese puppy, Zak. He was very reactive towards larger dogs on a walk. I was worried for him and it was beyond me how to help him as id used YouTube, books and other behaviourists with zero success. I didnt want to give up on him.My first meeting was with Helen. She taught me how to hold the lead, how to be more relaxed on a walk. How to use various techniques with him. Including how to do the pairing technique with him, which works a treat.Helen came to my home also, showed me how to do the relaxation training with him. He got 10/10. We still do this. He has surprised me how well he is doing and how focused he is whilst doing it.All the information and changes in place now are 100% working for him.If you are ever in any kind of doubt about your dogs behavior or worried in any way, I highly recommend using Helen. She has changed my life for the better and im no doubt she has also changed Zaks life too. Him and his brother love this walks. And now, so do I. Thank you so much Helen. I don't know how to thank you.Katie, Daz and Zak.
