Red Robin Dog Training

Our black Labrador D'Arcy has struggled with meeting other dogs on his lead since he was attacked by a dog on a walk. Gemma's techniques have enabled D'Arcy to feel less anxious and taught him that he does not have to fear other dogs. Gemma's understanding of behavioral change in dogs has been amazing to watch. Thank you for all your help.

I asked Gemma to see my 2 year old very excitable, determined and intelligent border collie. Up until this point, training him was quite frankly a battle of wills and he was winning. Gemma had him eating out of her hand within minutes. With enrichment, calming and impulse control exercises, Finn is much improved and I am a very happy owner.

Every now and then you meet someone in life that has such a positive effect on you and your family that they will never be forgotten, ever. My family and I have a Jack Russell called Ted, he is a miniature version, and he is also the tiny one of the litter and so is very small. One of the main reasons we got Ted was that our eldest son, Sam, has a genetic condition that has led to amongst other things, a heart condition, he is also autistic. We thought the bond of a dog (which he has always been asking for) would only help his anxiety and sometimes loneliness. Ted was a fab addition to our family with Sam and brother Tom falling in love with him instantly! Unfortunately, in August of last year we had an incident that involved our family being bullied severely while out on a walk with Ted which left the kids in tears and very, very frightened. They wouldnt even walk to school after it happened and even had time off school. Since that happened, we had just gone in complete reverse with the great positive effect owning a dog had had on all of us, but in particular Sam. Then we met Gemma. Her kind, caring and just lovely nature completely changed our outlook and we started going forwards again immediately. She had an instant impact on Sam and Tom, she made a great connection with them straight away, Tom got upset when recalling what had happened and Gemma was up and out into the garden with the children playing games with the dog to distract them and they were happy again in minutes. Gemma has incredible knowledge of dog behaviour and was very clear and firm with what Claire and I were to do to recover from what had happened and improve Teds behaviour. We were impressed as much by the counselling she had given us as we were with the dog training. After 3 sessions we feel we are well on the way now but will still see Gemma again in the Spring for a catch up. We would recommend Red Robin Dog Training to anyone we ever meet that needs help, Gemma has had a profound positive impact on our family and is just brilliant. We will never forget how much she has helped us.
