Candy is brilliant. We have a large labrador puppy (9 months old) and she's full of energy and excitement - lots of fun and affection but a bit overwhelming at times.
We contacted Candy looking for some help with managing her excitement in the house and on walks (pulling on her lead, jumping up). Candy was very thorough in reviewing everything from her diet to her daily activities, pinpointing when the behaviour gets to be too much. She then talked us through several exercises to encourage good behaviours and make our daily walks enjoyable. She also followed up with notes and tips on how to help us achieve our goals with Maddie.
It's only been a few days since Candy came to visit but I can already see an improvement. We walked on Halloween with children out and about and Maddie calmly maintained eye contact with me for the majority of it - a huge difference from her usual jumping and straining. I am looking forward to further improvements and can't thank Candy enough for the great work so far. Really pleased!

Thank you, it was lovely meeting you, Andrew and especially the gorgeous Maddie. I can see she is a much loved member of the family and will no doubt mature into a well manner dog with your guidance and leadership. Keep the training consistent and calm going forward and your hard work will be so worthwhile.

Dear Candy,

What do you love most about your job?
What’s not to like? Helping dog owners understand their dogs needs and how to get the best from them is so rewarding. It’s not so difficult when you know what to do and how much effort is involved.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started studying to become a dog behaviourist during lockdown because I have always found dogs adorable and fascinating. How they fit into our world and how we all would love to own a well behaved pet. I have always tried to share my life with my dogs and taken up sports, such as agility and obedience training as a way to keep the bond/training going. Friends and neighbours started asking for my help with their dogs and this made me want to realise my skills to become a canine behaviourist.
Why should our clients choose you?
I believe I am a personable and approachable person who is comfortable around all dogs. Large, small, young or old. I am constantly investing in learning as much as I can about dog behaviour and this is something I believe all dog handlers should do. Whether they are working as professional dog handlers or a dog owner, we should all try our best to understand our pets behaviour.
