Me and my partner had a great experience with John as he was able to teach us different training methods to handle puppy biting as well as giving us tips on puppy toilet training. John had good patience with us and the puppy during the 1 hour session. Highly recommend 🙂

Very helpful and great tips for training our boy!

First time meeting John today. We have a 7yr old rescue staffie mix who we’ve been working hard with for the last 18months, she’s a wee star but we were struggling with resolving her anxiety and reactivity to other dogs so got in touch with John.From the very first moment we knew she was in safe and knowledgeable hands. He is calm, deliberate, and clear - everything we needed today. Clover did great, he handled her amazingly and we came away with a far greater understanding of what to do to help both our dog and us.What I liked most is his honesty, he didn’t tell us we needed x amount of sessions. He recognised we could handle what was provided and suggested we get on with it and get in touch for a further socialisation session later on. That level of honesty is exactly what builds trust. I’d definitely recommend getting in touch if you have any training needs for you and your dog

We needed help with our cockapoo, Otto after we had our baby last summer. Helen responded really quickly and visited us the same week. Otto, who has always been a bit anxious and reactive to sounds and strangers in the house (barking) was really struggling when our baby started to cry properly at around 6 weeks old. We were already exhausted and at the end of our tether so really desperately needed help as the constant simultaneous barking and crying was just too much. Helen could not have been more amazing. She was so kind and empathetic and within one session made us feel like we had the tools to start working with Otto right away. It felt like she just ‘got it’ and understood the dog in front of her, which was amazing. We followed the exercises Helen gave us (which didn’t take much time or brain space, neither of which we had in abundance at the time). Within a matter of weeks we started to see a difference and Otto was barking less. After several months he was like a different dog. We have also made sure that our baby is ‘trained’ not to approach the dog. The result is a harmonious household! Otto now just relaxes and minds his own business around the baby and we have never had to worry about them being in the same environment which is not a place I honestly ever expected to get to. Particularly through crawling and now walking, I can’t believe he is just completely not bothered by the baby. We really can’t thank Helen enough as the difference her help and support has made to our family is immeasurable!

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.
