Had a zoom session with Sandra which was just what I needed. Sandra was extremely warm and friendly, listened to what I was looking for and gave me lots of advice. What I especially appreciated was her encouragement as being a first time dog owner I spend a lot of time worrying if I am doing the right thing. Money well spent as already seeing Sandra's methods pay off with my puppy. More...

I can’t recommend Sandra highly enough - she has a magical way of understanding dogs, their behaviours and therefore what they need. We first spoke to Sandra when we were thinking about adding a Vizsla puppy to our family and wanted some advice. We have two children and wanted to make sure that we prepared ourselves as much as possible. The advice Sandra gave us was invaluable including what to feed our puppy when he arrived , how to train our puppy to use a crate, how to house train him and even ensure our first night with him at home was as comfortable as possible. Our puppy is now 12 weeks old and through Sandra’s kind and supportive approach we have bonded as a family with him, started to teach him how to recall in a fun and interactive way as well as walk on the lead. Sandra has been excellent at holding zoom calls with us, answering any questions over email (in times of crisis and celebration!) as well as visiting our home for 121 sessions. Her approach with our children has been especially brilliant, giving them practical things to do as well as tuning into their different strengths or concerns. We hope to have Sandra’s support for many months to come as she will undoubtedly have a positive impact on us and our much loved dog. More...

Highly recommend Sandra, she has such a calm and warm approach which was vital with a new pup and 3 excited children. Sandra explained things logically and no question was deemed too stupid to ask - I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Sandra helped my Cockerpoo Gigi conquer her fear of going up and down stairs. I cannot thank her enough.

Sandra is great - friendly, arrived promptly, nothing is too much trouble. Good value and most importantly clearly knows how to help new dog owners like us

Sandra has just been to visit us and our cocker Spaniel Puppy. She was fantastic. She was calm and easy to talk to. Completely understood what we were going through and was so supportive. She pointed out things we weren’t even aware of and showed us how to train our pup to get the best from him. We have a way to go before our pup is behaving how we’d like him to but with the advice from Sandra we feel confident that we will get there. Thank you Sandra, it was so incredible to have you in our home helping us and our pup to understand each other. More...
Vanessa
We have been absolutely delighted with the help that we have received from Sandra in training our six month old poodle puppy.
She is extremely knowledgeable and very calm and has achieved outstanding results for us in a very short space of time.
Our puppy really listens to her and she gives us the tools and techniques that we need to continue the training once she has left. She simplifies what seemed complicated and her calm and straightforward approach have worked exceptionally well.
She is also extremely kind and we have thoroughly enjoyed her visits and been very grateful for all of the helpful advice she has provided. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Sandra has been a huge help training our Cocker Spaniel puppy; she is calm, patient and very informative. She always follows up the session with an email and is at the end of the phone if necessary.
We have two young children and they have also benefitted from the sessions. Sandra includes all the family in the training and makes it fun and interesting for all.
We would highly recommend Sandra. The one-to-one sessions have been invaluable to us as a family, but more important, our Cocker Spaniel loves her!

Sandra arranged to visit us promptly as our 11 week old French Bulldog puppy was completely out of control! In the space of 45 minutes, she managed both to reassure us and to illustrate where we had been going wrong. She was very straightforward and full of common sense. Within 24 hours, instigating several of her recommendations had resulted in significant improvement in our puppy's behaviour. We feel more relaxed and in control of the situation now and our puppy seems happier too. We cannot commend Sandra more highly. More...

Sandra is an amazing lady, so friendly we and our puppy made friends very quickly we felt like we had known her for ever, she has definitely become a family friend. I can not recommend her enough she was like our Fairy god mother I couldn’t see that we would ever get our puppy sorted and trained as she was wild, but Sandra never gave up and her support was unbelievable, we now have an amazing little dog thanks to Sandra .

Sandra is absolutely brilliant . She gave us great guidance before we got our lovely Buddy (cockapoo puppy) and is still offering great advice and help with our adolescent 14 month old family member. Cannot recommend her enough.

Sandra was a very friendly lady and my puppy Daisy and I liked her straight away. She spent a lot of time explaining everything and the training was fantastic. Daisy was a very good girl and did everything Sandra asked of her 99% of the time. Sandra is coming back to see us again next week. More...
