Jennifer is a great person to work with and she clearly loves dogs. She's worked really hard over the past few weeks to help build my dog's confidence when faced with other dogs. Her advice is relevant and she's got some brilliant ideas and suggestions. She also has helpful contacts too. Duke absolutely loves her and I am so happy with all her hard work. She's given us the confidence to move forwards.....thank you Jennifer x More...

We had our first ever 1-2-1 visit from Jennifer today, she is amazing!! We learnt loads of useful tips and different ways to keep our 17 week old pup mentally stimulated. One of our main issues was our pup barking at other dogs and people when out on walks, Jennifer was great at demonstrating what we needed to do and really encouraging and helpful when we were giving it a go ourselves. The session was really enjoyable and we can’t wait to keep the training going ourselves. More...

Just had a new puppy for the first time in 20 years and At Your Dogs Pace came and did a 1-1 session to give some tips and pointers for training Even if you have had dogs before the insight and techniques provided are amazing. Just that little extra understanding on behaviours was great! So friendly and you are made to feel comfortable and at ease Shall certainly be looking at puppy classes tooHighly recommend. More...

I would absolutely recommend At Your Dogs Pace!! Jennifer is extremely professional and reliable plus since she has been walking our dog Rory his behaviour has improved dramatically! This is all down to the exceptional level of knowledge, qualifications and experience that Jennifer has - she not only walks him but trains him at the same time - which has really benefited us! Couldn’t be happier with the service and Rory loves her too :-) More...

Jennifer arrived fully prepared with tips and material to solve the particular problems I was experiencing with my new dog. She demonstrated the theory behind the information in a clear way and made a list of everything I should do, plus possible activities and products which would help. With bonfire night coming up, she also me gave information how to reduce any trauma of loud bangs and noises.Having followed her advice from the day she came, my dog has now been to the toilet outside, rather than in the kitchen on every occasion and reduced greatly jumping up constantly wanting to play. Jennifer herself was very friendly, obviously thoughtful about the reasons behind the unwanted behaviour and gave advice relevant to my situation. Excellent service with excellent results. More...

Jennifer came round to assess our Mastiff who has recently become aggressive towards other dogs while on the lead. She also offered some support for our Staffie Cross who was a rescue and suffers from some anxiety. She spent some time with us out walking with both dogs on her first visit. We tried a few techniques, both dogs responded well to these, she then went away and wrote a very detailed report to support our needs. The report included handouts, video clips, classes we could attend and web links to equipment we could use to support the training. We've put a lot of the advice into practice already and have started to see some results. Our Mastiff has shown some improvement around other dogs, and our staffie has started to improve on his recall when off the lead using the same technique. It's a slow process to re-train older dogs but I'm really pleased with the results over the last few weeks. We've also found lots of new ways to keep them occupied at home while we are out.

Jennifer came back today to follow up on the training. Unfortunately we had a bit of a set back and I wasn't able to show the huge progress we have made. She did bring her stooge dog which is great for practicing, it looked very real! I now feel that I understand my dogs behaviour and needs a lot more than I did before. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs support with dog behavioural issues or training. Just make sure you are willing to put in the hard work to get results. I wish I'd known a lot of this before I got my dogs. I'd even recommend seeking training advice for a new puppy or rescue to ensure you start out on the correct path. Thank you Jennifer, I will keep you updated with our progress!

Jennifer came round to see my new addition to the family Lola a couple of weeks ago, Jen was very professional, giving me lots of advise on the do's and don'ts of a new pup . Having children was one of my main concerns but with all the handouts and advice Jennifer gave me, all my family have taken it on board and it does work, a little more patience is needed with the toilet training but the rest seems to be working. I cant thank Jennifer enough she has helped Lola fit in more comfortable within our household and also made the children be more aware of the fact she is not a toy, I cant wait to take her out on walks. I would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs help with there new additions. Thanks again Jen x More...

As soon as she entered our home she interacted wonderfully with the dogs and she left us with lots of handouts and ideas for games to stimulate both of our dogs.
