TESTIMONIALS

As seen on ITV News

  • "Viv was absolutely brilliant. She put myself and my dog at ease straight away. She really listened to everything I was telling her about my dog's past experiences and you could tell she genuinely cared. I would 100% recommend Viv as a first class dog trainer ...."

    — Jane Brown

  • "No words show the appreciation we have for the support we have received from Viv. She has been such a massive support since we got our super anxious pup Ember who had a tough start due to illness. Viv has inspired my 10 year old daughter to become a dog trainer herself and accommodated her within classes and now supports Lois with her own puppy Arlo. Viv is just amazing, she trains owners to be the best advocate for their furry friends. We are so grateful, 5 stars just isn't enough!

    Joanne Brown

  • "Viv has helped both myself and my Miniature Dachshund gain more confidence. George was very reactive to other dogs, bicycles and runners. Now he is much calmer and happier which is more enjoyable for me too.....

    — Susan Hargreaves

  • "It's a great friendly atmosphere to learn and develop your skills together. These classes have been essential to the development of my Golden Retriever Dutch"

    Ed Bristow

  • "I have a very anxious rescue pup. I have had training before which I wasn't really comfortable with but since meeting Viv I've learnt some really helpful, reassuring and positive techniques which have helped me. I would highly recommend Viv and feel so much more confident that I am giving my dogs the support they deserve!"

    Jane Douglas

  • As a first time dog owner Viv’s advice and guidance has been invaluable and I only wish I had found her earlier. I had started a puppy course online, but felt I needed 1-1 support in person for more difficult tasks like teaching recall and a calm settle. My puppy has had a mix of group sessions and 1-1 and the success has been incredible!

    Holly H

  • I have been at my wits end and close to tears up til now on our lead walks. Today for the first time we experienced being together on our walk. We are both much more relaxed and in synch. I can't recommend Viv's training and support enough!

    Gail Platt

  • We rescued 2 Jack Russells from the RSPCA and were given the chance to work with Viv. The impact was so valuable that we have continued working with her. She is extremely supportive, knowledgeable and her training techniques are excellent.She is an outstanding Behaviourist.

  • Viv has worked wonders with myself and Suki, who did not have a good start in life and was not socialised. Viv has helped us through this and Suki has come on leaps and bounds, all with Viv's help. If I could give more stars I would!
