Jo is amazing with both your dog and you! As a new dog owner I had so many questions and worries and was so reassuring and helpful. I thoroughly recommend Jo and Canny dog training! More...

Jo is compassionate, professional and knowledgable. She was gentle with Pedro and did not pressure him or push his boundaries. Pedro has trust issues and Jo gave me excellent support and advice during the course of her working with Pedro. I was given detailed reports and guidance. Jo thinks holistically and in the long term and she created a roadmap for the future. I have no hesitation in recommending her most highly and unreservedly. More...

Jo has made a huge difference to our dogs behaviour ( we had tried two previous dog trainers but didn’t find them particularly helpful). Jo really understands our dog and explains why she behaves in the way she does and this has help greatly in her training. We wish we had found Jo sooner as it would have made our lives and the dog’s easier and more enjoyable. More...

Jo has been our trainer, sounding board, and coach for nearly two years. She’s perceptive, honest and insightful. She is always respectful, and sensitive, especially in situations that can be stressful, when your pet is showing challenging behaviour.

Jo is professional and fantastic with Molly. She understood exactly what wanted to achieve with her and gave us plenty of tools and information to get us towards the end result. I would recommend her dog training to everyone. More...

Joanne is GREAT! She is as good with dogs than with their parents. She puts her heart in every part of her job, and this gives the best results. I could not recommend her enough!

We had our initial meeting with Jo a couple of weeks ago and she was just as lovely in person as she was over the phone. She really understood our issues and has given us common sense advice which is so far definitely working and has made life less stressful. Can't wait to see how much better life with our 2 dogs can get :) More...

Jo was great she totally understood all of our needs and the problems straight away. Dash really took to her as she is just so calm and chilled out. It only took us 3 lessons to get the problems sorted. I needed just as much education as the dog! I would recommend Jo any day of the week she's fab More...

Jo is fantastic. She completely understood Dayo's issues, and gave great advice. She is so gentle and calm - Dayo adored her. We have learned a lot and are applying the advice to good effect. I think the improvement in his confidence and calmness (thanks to Jo) had a unexpected benefit. He had his first plane journey - across the pond! - and arrived completely mellow, relaxed and even curious and interested. I honestly don't think he would have done so pre-Jo. I would absolutely recommend her. More...

Having recently moved home my 5 year old male weinmaraner was suffering very badly with separation anxiety. I contacted Jo from Canny Dog and she set up a plan to help us. I cannot thank Jo enough for her patience and resilence and thoughtfulness in helping to resolve this issue. Jo is only a phone call away and keeps in regular contact for updates. I would highly recommend Canny Dogs for any issues owners have with their dogs as Jo will make sure that pet and owner can live happily as they should More...

We really enjoyed working with Jo, since our sessions our gsd Thor is far more responsive to comands and a far calmer around visitors.
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing clients develop a greater connection with their dogs. Teaching dogs the skills they need to navigate the world, giving owners confidence.
I have a particular interest in Separation Anxiety, nervous/anxious dogs. Having undergone further studies and qualifications I now specialise in SA and related behaviours. Working remotely means I can work with a greater range of dogs and their people.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My dog!
Having a rescue dog with aggression issues started me on this whole journey. Without Max I would never have started to read, then study, or volunteer at a rescue, or pass exams or learn to train, or volunteered then run classes, or attended workshops and seminars or given up the day job.... It all starts with one dog.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I won't judge, if you're asking for help then you care about your dogs well-being and enjoying life together.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes! The area of dog behaviour I specialise in works best without me being physically present. But this doesn't affect the level of support I can offer YOU.
