We would like to Say a 'big thank you' to Renee. We have seen a massive improvement in our dog (Zachy), he is a 14 month romanian rescue. We were struggling with his lack of confidence and reactivity. We were so impressed with her knowledge, understanding and compassion of dogs and how to tackle various situations. We were drawn to Renee's force free and positive reinforcement training and behaviourist techniques. She provided us with the necessary knowledge and tools to steer through some of our issues that we faced. We learnt habituation and desensitization strategies, mental enrichment exercises and management techniques. Renee's sessions were very practical and constant support if needed. We were given a daily journal which we completed in between our sessions. This allowed us to record daily achievements, training sessions, improvements, and milestones. We really appreciate your guidance and support. Thank you for everything!

I sought Renee to support me in understanding my Frenchie Tina. I have to admit at first I felt a bit out of my depth, even though I consider myself as a hands on dog mum. Renee was terrific in that she met me where I am, and helped me identify the blind spots I had through her knowledge and experience. We looked at the various aspects that have had an impact on my dog: diet, environment, people, Tina’s personality etc. I feel I benefited from this process more because I opted for a prolonged coaching period (three sessions in total spread out by a few weeks) this helped give me and Tina an opportunity to implement Renee’s recommendations and share with her videos to help decipher and understand what’s going on. All in all, it was a great experience for me and I definitely feel more confident with how to interact and support Tina far better than I previously have. Thank you Renee!

Renee is simply brilliant. I always wanted to be the best mum for our Trixie but the myriad of confusing and conflicting information on the internet is not helpful! It’s so difficult to know if you’re doing the right thing or just harming your dog. If you’re not convinced that online training sessions work and think Renee needs to see your dog to help you, you couldn’t be more wrong! She taught us how to make Trixie more confident and less reactive. Her knowledge of dog behaviour and emotions gave us a completely new perspective on training and dealing with unwanted behaviours. Also gave us some really useful tips on dealing with Trixie’s food pickiness. But most importantly we now have a great relationship with Trixie! I couldn’t recommend Renee enough. If you hesitate and wonder if Renee’s sessions are good value for money, then stop and try to put a price on the happiness of your dog (and your own!).

Our dog Poppy would hide behind furniture and when approached she would growl and attack. She did not like people coming to the house, post people, etc. because due to COVID nobody came to the house for 2 years. She also had a couple of bad experiences with the vets. Our new vet recommended Renee when we asked how best to deal with her behaviour. Renee is an amazing human being - she listens well and, although very polite, she will tell you what is going wrong. She listened and knew straight away what we were doing wrong and how to fix it. She taught us how to speak dog! 9 weeks later we are still a normal household with a loving, happy dog!

Renee has been fantastic support for us and our cockapoo, and her virtual training sessions have been extremely valuable and effective! I would happily recommend her to anyone who wants to use positive reinforcement to have a happier and more fulfilled pup!

Ren's reactions to things outside the home and inability to rest triggered my anxiety. I felt stuck and like I couldn't take her anywhere. I participated in the group course Ace'n Adolescence about a year ago and then just recently had some one on one coaching sessions. Renee changed my whole understanding of dogs and has helped immensely to help me understand what they need. I continue to learn how to watch my dog carefully in order to help her when needed whether in stressful situations, training sessions, or enrichment activities. I feel much less clueless about how to give her what she needs and feel more like we're partners now. We are still working on reactivity and car anxiety but I have tools now and understand that it takes time, patience, and consistency. Renee explains the motivations and functions behind the dog's behaviors so that there is a solid understanding of why the dog is acting the way she is. Renee presents information in a clear and simple way that's easily accessible.
