Mia our gsd was showing signs of reactivity towards other dogs. John has gave us pointers to recognise the signs before she reacts and to distract her from her nervous reaction. She has come on leaps and bounds since we started the training program and can't thank John enough for all his help with her. Would highly recommend John to anyone that needs help with their dog

I met Helen to help with my springer. He is very distracted on walks particularly if there is balls around! Helen helped show me how to let my dog process his feelings & take in his surroundings. Also some fun training games to keep him engaged with me. Already seeing a massive improvement in just a few weeks since our training session.

We asked the Glasgow Dog Trainer to support us with transitioning from living separately with 2 dogs who didn't get along indoors and needed separated with baby gates, to moving in to the same house together. Helen responded really quickly offering an initial phone consultation to discuss how she could help, what the training would likely entail, how long it might take to see results and to arrange an in person session. The in person session was great and gave us a completely different outlook on our dogs. Everything we were asked to do was through positive reinforcement and was well explained along with the theory behind why we were doing it, which I loved. We've seen some fantastic progress in our dogs ability to settle in each others presence, and they now even play together when outside when before they just did their own thing. We've been supported throughout in a group chat where we could share videos and get advice on what to do differently/to progress further. We've since had a further face to face session where we were given different exercises to work on along with the theory behind them, and have seen even more progress. We're now at the stage where we can have both dogs in the same room being fed treats and be completely settled. We're still a work in progress but the change in our dogs' behaviour is testament to the fact that Helen knows what she's doing and is able to achieve tangible results. Thank you!

We recently rescued a Frenchie called Ghost who was a stray and has some very challenging behaviours. He is deaf too. Helen was recommended to us due to her experience working with rescue dogs, and with dogs who are deaf. From the very first call, her knowledge was clear and she took time to listen to the issues. We’ve had a couple of extremely helpful sessions and have been given helpful exercises/games to begin to rebuild Ghost’s confidence and our bond with him. We’ve a long way to go and a lot of work to do but we can already see progress. Helen has been extremely reassuring, keeps in contact with helpful tips, and assists with any problems we’ve encountered. Would highly recommend.

John came highly recommended to us through a patterdale terrier Facebook page and I can understand why, he really knows his stuff. Educated us well, and we're so pleased with the way things are going. We have a much calmer and happier dog. Thank you John!

It's been a very good experience working with Helen the last few months. My young dog is generally unsettled and easily spooked, and has much to learn about interacting with other dogs and humans, but we are feeling optimistic since working with Helen that we can help build his confidence and his social skills. In fact, we have already seen progress. There are no magic fixes, you and your dog have to put the work in, but Helen provides a well-informed framework and the encouragement you need to succeed. Plus, she has been very available whenever I have had additional questions or needed clarification. I fully recommend Helen for anyone wanting to raise a happy, confident dog they have a strong bond with.

We approached Helen when we were having trouble with Barney as a puppy, not knowing how to work with a puppy and train him.Helen has been great teaching the fundamentals of living with our dog and helped so much with training ways to keep the puppy calm and learn leash skills and various ways to let him grow confidence, as well as us! Helen is also fantastic at helping us to think from Barney’s point of view.Helen always provides a wealth of information, homework exercises with accompanying videos and is a real support as we now navigate the fun teenage phase!

John,I know this is only the beginning of you helping Tinker but with just one lesson, you have managed to help our family teach settle to our wee tinker. Thank you so much.I 10000000% recommend this trainer, behaviourist. Not only that I am dyslexic and he made me feel confident in my dog and gave me more knowledge, than I already had. He takes his time and I am and will be forever grateful for you help John.And I cannot wait to see what else you have in store.
