Gemma Hodson - Dynamic Dog Practitioner Course Tutor

Gemma is amazing! She is so kind and caring, you can tell she LOVES her job and shes really great at it. I am currently doing Gemmas 'From the hound up' online workshop and i can say without a doubt thats its the best workshop i have ever been to/ or not been to as its online. (and as a fellow behaviourist, i have been to a LOT) The amount of knowledge and time you get from Gemma is worth 10 times more than you pay. Gemma is so passionate about her work its really lovely to see. Gemma is doing great things with her work and helping many Dogs and owners enjoy their lives with each other a bit more. I love working with her. x

Another course with Gemma completed and this one was a very emotional journey for me as it affected my life and my dogs lives for the better. Many tears have been shed as I have sought to find answers and now I have them In going through this process I really hope I can help others that are struggling to find answers for their companions. Its wonderful to train dogs but to really understand how they are built and what is best for them and truly understand how to help guardians and their companions, we must look deeper than the operant. This course teaches dog professionals (trainers & behaviourists) the techniques to spot potential pain & discomfort in dogs that may be contributing or the direct cause of a dogs problematic behaviour and how to relay this to the Vet for a quick diagnosis for the dog. It is a technical, intense 4 month course, where only 14 students are accepted at a time and only 3 courses are run per year. IT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED THE WAY I SEE AND WORK WITH DOGS! Thank you Gemma Hodson for your knowledge and support and to your wonder team Rachel Meadows and Monica Allaire

I signed up for this course after hearing Gemma speak at Tilley Farm in 2019. Anatomy has always been of interest to me but I was a little apprehensive as online courses aren't really my thing & I also thought I might be out of my depth. Gemma is an amazing tutor, full of encouragement & so helpful. Her enthusiasm, knowledge & expertise & her ability to explain everything clearly is amazing. Thank you Gemma I have loved every minute!

Gemma is a rock star! She has such a rare depth of knowledge on how to observe the dog that can uncover the subtleties of health issues they may be dealing with. To add to that super power, she is excellent in teaching this to others so they can advocate for dogs as well. Gemmas influence will be felt far and wide to the benefit of the dogs and their people!

Gemma is an amazing teacher and very knowledgeable on all things 'hound'. I have completed 2 courses with her after finding out about her courses via Sarah Fisher at Animal Centred Education (ACE). My dogs thank her for it. They are better off for me have done the courses and so am I. I highly recommend 'ACE Jump Start' with Gemma for pet dog owners that want to find out why certain behaviours are occuring in their dog. 'From the Hound Up' is more intensive over 8 weeks, everything just clicks during this course. The interaction and help via dedicated fb groups is really above and beyond and you can also learn from all the other participants and their beautiful dogs. 'See it, say it', thank you Gemma, I'm looking forward to stepping it up with 'Dynamic Dog'!
