Pet Behaviour Consulting

Our dog training sessions with Karen were great! She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us lots of practical pieces of training for us to action with our dog. We had 5 one on one sessions with Karen to help our Golden Retriever, and we could already see him improving and understanding the training after the first session! Karen was flexible with the days/times for our training and we did some sessions in the park and some at home. Highly recommend!

Thank you Karen for your help with training my dog Uisdean.He was a bit reactive with some other dogs but after Karen’s help and advice has improved a tremendously. On reflection I think it was I who got trained not the dog.

Karen had been so helpful, friendly and professional from our first contact. It's clear she really cares about dogs and helping them. We had a fantastic session with my reactive lab who is doing so well with his training and I'm so grateful to Karen and all her hard work. I really recommend her company as in just a short time I can already see a difference in my dog.

We rescued Roxy a chihuahua mix in May and were finding walks hard going due to Roxy being reactive with other dogs. Coming across Karen's website after a particular frustrating walk one evening was the best thing that could have happened.Karen helped us to understand Roxy and why she behaves the way she does. Karen came up with simple and effective strategies to enable us to feel more confident on dog walks and how to work with Roxy's reactiveness.Slowly but surely dog walks are becoming easier and more enjoyable. I would 100% recommend Karen to anyone with a reactive dog seeking help.I really don't know where we would be now without the expertise and knowledge that Karen has. She really has you and your dogs interests at heart and is committed to doing the very best she can for you.

Karen has been so fantastic working with me and my dog Rex. After a previous negative experience with a dog trainer Karen was a breath of fresh air. From our first meeting she made me and Rex feel at ease, and alleviated any anxiety or embarrassment I felt when Rex was reacting. Her training plans are so thorough and all ideas are clearly explained. I couldn’t recommend Karen enough.

Karen has helped us with our large, very traffic reactive dog. Her calm and supportive approach put us at ease when tackling what had become a very stressful situation. Clear techniques have so far produced really effective results which are allowing us to walk our much calmer dog with confidence.

I am extremely thankful that I found Karen when I did. Walks had become extremely stressful due to my collie's reactionary behaviour. I was apprehensive before our first consultation but Karen was extremely understanding and compassionate. Thanks to Karen's knowledge, strategies and techniques we are now making very good progress. Most importantly Obi is a happier dog and I feel I have a much deeper understanding of him. I can't recommend Karen highly enough.

Karen has been a huge support to me with my puppy Bella. She has amazing knowledge and explains the behaviour and how to improve things for Bella and I. When you understand why the puppy is acting in a certain way, you are better able to deal with the situation. I will be booking more sessions as she has just given me such good tips but also piece of mind.

Karen has really helped me feel more hopeful about the future with my dog, Teddy. Having an adolescent male dog has been tough but Karen’s calm and patient nature has really helped me learn some new skills so that our walks are more structured and calm. Teddy can be quite sensitive sometimes so I feel really glad that I can feel confident and trusting in Karen’s force free training methods.

I started this feeling frustrated and concerned my baby boy would do damage. Walks were horrible and I always felt on edge.Karen was amazing, she would speak through every step and get my thoughts too. She had the patience of a saint especially when Harvey reacted to her being with us. Karen always liaised with my vet and sent everything written so it was easy to refer to.I can not thank her enough for her knowledge, support and guidance. I know we still have a long journey but I feel more confident when out with my boy and it is all thanks to Karen. I would highly recommend her to help your dogs behaviours. ☺️
