Beta Dogs UK ltd

We enlisted the help and advice of Lorna and James in order to manage our labrador Murphy's anxiety with loud/unexpected noises.
We worked mainly with Lorna and found that she had a wealth of knowledge and understanding of strategies that would benefit all of us in gaining confidence to manage Murphy's anxiety and help him to feel happier, more comfortable and generally excited by life in order to distract him in stressful situations.
Lorna worked with us and our children (12 & 15) to ensure that we were all using the training and strategies effectively to ensure continuity for Murph.
After 6 sessions, spread out over a few months, the progress was noticeable and we are now able to continue with everything we learnt and continue to build on it.
It's incredibly reassuring to know that we can contact Lorna or James anytime in the future should we need their advice. We highly recommend the professional and very friendly service offered by Betadogs. Thank you so much. More...

If you’re thinking about enlisting a Dog behaviourist, I can promise that you will not find a better service than the one James provides at Beta Dogs. What he achieved in the space of 8 weeks is nothing short of a miracle and he has genuinely changed our lives. Frank, our Lakeland terrier, was ruling the house and even our lives outside of it - it was anxiety riddling at the idea of taking him anywhere (extreme barking) which meant we were living quite a reclusive lifestyle. Looking back at the sacrifices we made they seem ridiculous now, but compared to then we are so much more empowered now on what to do and what actually works for Frank. James can offer advise that no Google search can (trust me, I have read every page on how to get a dog off the bed and to stop constantly barking – none of which worked!!). I am so pleased I went for it and in truth, I wish I did it sooner as James’ approach is fantastic. I feel like such a better owner now and Frank is a happier dog for it – what more can you ask for!

Working with Lorna from Beta Dogs was brilliant. We have only just started with Annie's training but very pleased with outcome after first visit. I have owned three border collies in the past but I also leaned a few things regarding training. Can not wait until next session. More...

Reach out - you’ll never regret it!
My girl was ruling the roost, easily distracted and interpreted commands as ‘mild recommendations’
Lorna and James came to the house and really looked to understand her, us and our enviroment. They had great knowledge and explained things well as to how we got here and how we can change it. The report was thorough and clear. We mainly worked with Lorna from there and she’s was really active and engaged, providing great support whenever needed and joining us for walks in the world giving really useful feedback for progress and generally being a massive help.
The change with the dog has been almost as dramatic as she is! Calmer, more engaged and more responsive.
Training a dog is a journey, but we’re now on the right road with the right tools - Thankyou! More...

I can’t recommend Beta dogs highly enough. James is a fantastic behaviourist/ trainer. I followed everything I was told and it all worked a treat. My boy, who was more than a little wayward, is now perfectly lead trained and his recall is brilliant ( actually better than my older one who is learning from the 9 month old!)
Extremely happy with the results and can’t thank James enough. More...
