Mrs Clarke’s pet services

Monika is brilliant, we were really struggling with our toller but a few lessons for both us and him and everything was back on track. As well has training she is one of the very few people we completely trust to look after our dogs. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

I use Monika for regular boarding due to my work schedule and also training. Having the land she does and all the surrounding natural places to take the dogs out, I know my Reggie has the best time socialising and exercising and continues to get obedience training as well. I’ve seen Monika turn the most aggressive dogs completely approachable and family friendly during her training sessions which goes to show how experienced she is with many breeds. Monika is incredibly knowledgable on everything animal related and I never stress when I leave my dog with her, would give more stars if I could!

Monika is a dog whisperer. I cannot recommend her highly enough . In 1 hour she had our anxious and aggressive Border Collie mingling with other dogs had most importantly has shown me how to continue with her training .I had 3 dog trainers previously with no success . Their training was avoiding the situation and using treats we were even considering rehoming our dog . Life had become so stressful I couldn't walk near other dogs or in parks .I now walk anywhere and everywhere our dogs recall is perfect she will play with dogs she knows and is perfectly happy to interact with any other dogs .She had been on medication from the vet for anxiety that’s now all stoppedShe’s a happy dog and so are we . What more could we want ?Monika is so brilliant I drove over 200 miles so our dog could stay with her when we went on a long holiday .She totally understands canine behaviour takes no nonsense from dogs or their owners . We had updates videos and pictures every day .She was on the farm on the moors and the beaches of Cornwall , by the end sharing her bed with Monika’s dogs a sight I would never have thought possible .Next holiday booked in summer for us and yes our dog is travelling back to Cornwall for her holiday too

Monika is a truly remarkable individual - we had several behavioural issues with our 3 year old Cockerpoo, Coco, and enlisted the help of Monika. Within an hour in the park with Coco - we didn't recognise Coco!! She would recall when called upon, would stay when told to do so and would general be following Monika's ever command. Monika took the time to explain to us where we could improve our interactions with Coco and following her method, I'm pleased to say that we have a super obedient 5 year old Coco !! Coco is super happy now that her owners are not getting cross with her all the time, and we are equally delighted with her behaviour!! Thank you to Monika for your amazing gift and helping us get Coco on the right track! Hope you are working your magic in the West country !!

Monika has done a superb job with our jack Russel, we was struggling to get him to recall to us and he would always run off and be a general nuisance on his daily walks. Monika completely changed his behaviour after the first session and he is now a really well behaved dog that spends most days down at the stables mixing with other dogs and horses without any problems. We can’t thank you enough.

Monika was incredible with our rather stubborn golden retriever who refused to get into the car. We had tried a few dog trainers with no success and lifting 40kg of dog into the car was becoming literally a strain.Monika immediately got Harry’s number - stubborn and (I’m afraid) a bit spoilt. He also got her number and knew he couldn’t mess with Monika. He was jumping in and out of the car within an hour. We were taught how to maintain the good work and it was absolutely life changing. It meant I could take him on much more exciting walks on my own (being quite small and not very strong).A few years later we needed to use a ramp with the car after Harry had a knee operation. Again Monika persuaded him to use the ramp instantly after we had failed miserably.Monika really gets how dogs think and feel. And I reckon they catch on and recognise that when they meet her. I would highly recommend Monika to solve any training or behavioural issues.

Would highly recommend Monika, after using her to walk our dogs whilst on holiday. Muffin, Crumpet & ozzy had a lovely time. Daily updates & photos given . Very professional & knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to walk my boys!

Monika corrected the undesirable behaviours of our 11 year old westie, who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, as well as set up our new puppy for success! We have perfect recall and a happy balanced little girl. Spot on with dog behaviour.

After what has felt like a very long and stressful year trying to train and manage our two 15 month old German Shepherds, we were recommended Monica and told she would be able to sort them within a few days.Initially we thought this impossible, having been told by previous trainers that our dogs were so reactive they were the worst they’d ever come across and suggested we should consider giving one up.Our lives had been consumed by having to walk them separately, and constantly being on the lookout for other dogs to avoid confrontation.It was heartbreaking to see such beautiful young dogs walk in fear and totally alone.Monica, within a day, had both our dogs socialising with other dogs, off lead, obedient and happy.We spent the next two days shadowing Monica and learning how to take charge of Tilly and Rossi.What an absolute joy to see them running happily along the beach with other dogs.Monica has not only transformed our dogs, but also our lives for the better.We can’t thank you enough Monica
