Be More Dog

I would not hesitate to recommend Patricia to anyone! I had a difficult issue whereby my two dogs couldn’t cope being left alone (e. g. I couldn’t take one for a walk and leave the other at home), and with just two sessions I’m now up to leaving them each for 20 minutes! They just lay down and calmly wait for me to return! I genuinely can’t believe how quickly they got to this point. I also loved that all the advice that Patricia gave me was kind to my dogs and very focused on helping them to feel confident alone - it’s lovely seeing how they’ve progressed and I’ve got a training plan moving forward to keep increasing the time. Patricia is amazing, she really knows her stuff, if you’re having any issue with your dog please book in a session, you won’t regret it! More...

What can I say, Patricia has helped us in a situation I was unsure we could ever resolve. Our English Bull Terrier & Dachshund / Shi Tzu cross have lived together quite harmoniously for 2 years, however I wanted to introduce a puppy, We bought another Dach / Shi cross. The reason? In case something ever happened to one, two would remain & still have company. Marzi (EBT) was not happy and we've had to have the puppy fostered since Dec 24. She would growl, heckles up & during early walks together, would try her utmost to get to him, in what I envisaged as ending in a vicious attack. With Patricia's incredible knowledge, support, assistance and careful planning we reached a stage, early April where all 3 dogs were in our garden, without leads. Patricia is an absolute marvel and has taught us a lot about ourselves, as well as our beautiful dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone in a similar position. More...

I have a rather complex, independent, intelligent and aloof rescue dog from Vietnam named Nelly. I've followed Patricia for a while and had just 1 online session a week ago. Today is the first day in a while, (or perhaps ever?) that I have felt in tune to my dog and his unique needs. We had a very simple task to try and get him to trust and follow me more and the results honestly brought me to tears. I really observed him and what he was trying to tell me and it paid off. I'm looking forward to the rest of my journey with Patricia helping Nelly to overcome his traumatic start to life and fully enjoy his new life in England ❤️🐾 More...

Highly recommend Patricia’s services at Be More Dog. We have a nervous and dog reactive young spaniel and after two sessions with Patricia we’ve noticed a lot of improvement and she’s equipped us with a lot of methods and training to help our dog moving forward. She takes the time to understand your specific circumstances and works to adapt to your dog’s needs and requirements. More...

I highly recommend be more dog - Patricia . She has really taught me so many ways to help me build my dogs confidence. I can already see big improvements in my dogs behaviour towards other dogs and it’s only been a short amount of time. Patricia also helped me learn how to improvement my dogs behaviour in my home. My dog is already showing improvement only after a couple of weeks. I’m so pleased. I found Patricia to be a very likeable person who put me at ease straight away. I feel much more confident in knowing what I need to do in every situation while walking my dog to help her to feel confident when she is out as she is a worried dog . More...

Highly recommend. We contacted Patricia to help with our new rescue dog Bart, we already had a cat and wanted them to live peacefully together, we were worried about introducing them as although separated Bart was growling and barking when the cat walked passed the gate separating them, causing our cat to retreat upstairs. Patricia was brilliant, on our first session, Patricia knew exactly how to go about introducing them using a great exercise we had Bart and our cat in the same room and by the end of the session ignoring each other, she gave me the confidence we needed to get them interacting and peace of mind that through repetition they will be ok living together. We are 4 days later and as I write this both are asleep in the same room. More...

Patricia has been wonderful at helping us train our dogs. We’ve only had one session so far and are awaiting her next visits, but we can already see improvement and have a lot of pointers to work on in the meantime! We love her gentle, but to the point advice on what we as humans have been doing wrong in certain scenarios, as it really helps us to see in the mind of a dog and how we inadvertently have been encouraging certain behaviours rather than easing. She walked us through what to do when situations arise (as we had multiple situations arise on her visit) and they were addressed as they popped up, and we were actually shown and advised on what to do which is exactly what we needed as other trainers in the past have only verbally told us and then handed a sheet of paper leaving us still a bit clueless! The hands on approach really helps us truly understand every step we need to take and she can address anything she sees us doing wrong in the moment. One of our dogs barked for 4 and a half hours straight when we last had a visitor (pet sitter in the home). We’ve not had anyone around since. With Patricia and her help, we were able to stop his barking and get him to settle within 10minutes of her being in the home! That alone was a miracle! We honestly couldn’t recommend her more. (Photo of said dog when he finally settled after 10minutes!) More...

Patricia has been amazing with her advice and help with our rescue miniature schnauzer Daisy. Patricia has helped us to understand the messages Daisy gives off to try and stop her reacting and it is working so well, it’s so lovely that Daisy is now letting people see the loving, friendly, cheeky little lady that we know she is. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of help with any kind of training or behavioural problems More...

We have worked with Patricia over 4 sessions for help with our 2 miniature dachshunds. We found out we were expecting a baby towards the end of the year and were particularly worried about one of dachshunds resource guarding which had caused the two dogs to fight on several occasions. The aggression that one of the dogs, Pablo, was displaying was worrying and at points we were concerned we wouldn’t be able to keep him when the baby arrived. This was not the only issue and also had problems with barking at visitors or strangers in the house and then becoming overly friendly, barking relentlessly at the doorbell, pulling on the lead and reacting to other dogs. The younger dog, Frank, seemed to imitate Pablo’s behaviour and lacked a lot of confidence including not ever going to the toilet when we were out of the house. Fast forward to now they have both made amazing progress. Most amazingly, they have completely stopped fighting and are back to being loving brothers! They are both now much more respectful of boundaries and actually wait to be invited up onto furniture. Frank has become much more confident he no longer imitates Pablo’s behaviour, has started toileting on walks, has stopped pulling on his lead and become less reactive to other dogs. We also introduced him to a baby and a 3 year old and he was excellent with them. Pablo has calmed down much quicker when visitors have entered our house, and his overly friendly behaviour does not happen anywhere near as much. He has also stopped pulling on his lead and has become much less reactive to other dogs. Today we had carpet fitters round and he actually sat in his bed and ate a treat while they were working upstairs, which is something I never thought would happen. Everyone has commented about how much ‘he has chilled out’. We can’t thank Patricia enough for all of her help. She has taught us so much and it feels good to be able to advocate for our dogs and to know they trust us in situations. And most importantly thank you for helping us to keep our family together! Thank you again Patricia 😊 More...

We had an hours Zoom call where she told us all we needed to know for our first few days with the pup, right from advice on picking him up on the day, to the first few nights at home. I felt immediately more relaxed and reassured and prepared and it definitely helped the first few days go smoothly.

I would highly recommend Patricia to help with any dog behavioural issues. My one year old yorkiepoo was unfortunately hit by a car after escaping my house a few months ago and miraculously survived, but it has left us all with an ongoing fear of what if he managed to get out again as he does have a tendency to bolt. In only one home visit Patricia has taught me two strategies for dealing with the front door area one being for when we do want him to come out of the house and one for him to stay away from the door when it is opened. I cannot believe how quickly Teddy has taken to these training tips and am extremely grateful to Patricia for helping come up with workable solutions for us. I would have no hesitation recommending Patricia and will no doubt be asking for a few follow up sessions along the way. Thank you. More...
