Focussed Instruction for Dogs and Owners

Finn was a 17 month old Eurasier when my local vet, to whom I remain indebted, recommended that I seek help from Helen. I thought that Finns fear of going to the vet was normal. When his behaviour turned towards being reactive to all dogs; I didnt know what to do. Helen very quickly detected a very nervous and anxious dog plus a very stressed owner, close to despair! Our 121 sessions started immediately and as I work full-time, I found the mix of f2f and telephone calls the perfect mix. Each session resulted in videos and literature which I could revert to whenever needed. Helen saw aspects of Finn which I hadnt. Her close observation and studying of him linked behaviours to their cause as well as the tools to support us both. Our relationship improved. We both learnt so much from Helen. I had taken Finn to numerous classes prior to meeting Helen but these werent what we needed nor were they the help we needed. I am forever grateful to Helen for her skills, insight, knowledge and experience. Lynda, Abergavenny

Took my very nervous cocker spaniel puppy to Helens puppy class. Found it really helpful, informative and friendly. Was amazing watching my puppy become more confident each week.

Helen has helped us gain the trust and focus of our new dog, enabling us to start a solid foundation to his training, learning the basic principles that we can use as building blocks for future training. After the course we now have a dog that knows basic commands and manners and both us and our dog are feeling more confident .

Just amazing, very professional and made each training personal to my boy who suffers with reactivity, Helen helped me see it wasn't all just fear there was excitement as well and helped me understand what zeus needed. The improvement over 4 sessions was amazing. Even though the sessions have finished I am still able to email/phone to get any advice I need thankfully with the guidance she has given I haven't had to as of yet as her youtube channel is also there giving advice and support. Zeus improves everyday, I wasn't able to take him to any open fields of fear of seeing other dogs we have been going weekly now and everytime gets better for him and me, I couldn't recommend anyone higher, the trust and appreciation I have for Helen is too high to describe. I'll be forever grateful for the freedom Helen and Delphi has given us

Fudge was a 'challenging' puppy - very high spirited, no respect for anyone or anything, thought she was our pack leader... but wow did she respond well to Helen's training courses. The puppy one was a good start, then we did the follow-on one, then the sniffer course, then lots more of the follow-on ones, because Fudge loves doing them, and so do I. The only one she flunked at was the agility. Just not her thing, it turned out. I now have a strong bond with a loving, spirited dog who does what I ask her - most of the time! After Covid, she started to show signs of nervousness with other dogs, which was very out of character. A one-to-one with Helen (and another follow-on course) have worked wonders. I'd highly recommend Helen - every time.
