Louise has been absolutely fantastic with our separation anxiety training over the last four weeks! Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. It's been really great to work with a trainer who has been in a similar position to us, and really empathises with how difficult SA can actually be. :)

Louise has been a godsend when it comes to helping our puppy, Mav. We knew Mav had separation anxiety from a few weeks old and we would be totally lost without Louises help and guidance. Louise truly goes above and beyond, and her support has been so incredibly valuable. Could not recommend enough!!

Louise has been helping us with our puppy Ned over the past few months and I don't think we could have gotten to where we are now without her support. We couldn't recommend her enough! Her extensive knowledge and experience really comes through with the way she approaches training. He suffered from very bad separation anxiety before and after an initial 8 week 1-2-1 training programme he made amazing progress. Even after finishing, the support has been great and she continues to offer her help. It started with a free 30 minute consultation to create a bespoke course for us, which included daily video reviews of our training, daily updates to our training difficulty and access to an app to record our progress. She made sure not to rush and we took it at our dog's pace to ensure we didn't reverse any hard work we'd put in and now he's quite happy being left for nearly an hour! Thanks Louise!

Louise is just wonderful! She is so friendly, understanding and has great knowledge about the puppies! When signing up for the puppy classes she was very highly recommended and I will pass on that recommendations too! Having access to the weekly classes and the online portal as well as having Louise on hand to help with anything we need or worries we had! She is fab and Luna is super cute too!

I recommend Louise to ANYONE experiencing the difficult life of ownership of a dog with separation anxiety. Her unique view of SA through the eyes of the dog AND the owner set her apart from other behaviourists I contacted, prior to hiring her to help us. I began the 8 week programme to help me with my 1 year old spaniel's separation anxiety. I chose Louise specifically as she is certified with Julie Naismith (author of Be Right Back) All I can say is it's the best money I've ever spent, not just for my dog, but for myself too! My confidence in being able to get my dog over this was wavering, I was terrified of starting the training (it became a massive obstacle in my head and I was so scared of further setbacks and potential failure affecting my mental health) so I kept putting it off. But within 15 minutes of our first Zoom consult, I knew we were in the safest hands possible. Louise is as much a champion for me as my dog, she has first-hand experience of SA (her puppy is a month younger than my own, with the exact same issues) so she knows how isolating life with an SA dog can be. I found myself really opening up to her, she is a natural empath, something I have found lacking in other professionals be it vets, trainers and behaviourists. Her belief in the force-free subthreshold training method shines through, we spoke about all the things Id been advised to do in the past leaving my boy to cry it out, leaving the radio on with a chew toy and expecting him to settle down. We are making steady progress with my dog's SA, following a programme set by Louise which she updates for me Monday-Friday. I wake up and see what the days exercise is, which is incredibly motivating. We then have a weekly session to monitor our progress. Louise reviews videos of my dog, scrutinises and shows me the tiny behaviours he exhibits that I don't see, and makes recommendations for further exercises based on her findings. I have her on WhatsApp if I'm ever unsure or want her to check she's seeing what I'm seeing on the camera. It's also nice to know I can vent to her on a bad day, and I know she understands. Louise has given my relationship with my dog a new lease of life, and I know soon I will have the freedom to leave my house without my dog, without fear of him not being able to cope.
