Rescuing a new family pet can be soul destroying and stressful and all you want to do is give a dog a new home. A Free initial support call is there to advise and support during the whole process.
Learn MoreFor rescued or adopted dogs from the UK or abroad for advice, training and support from the day you sign for your new dog through to bringing them home, settling in and acclimatising them to their new life. This is required when your dog joins your family to assess their state of mind, to support and advise you and to ensure they are given best start on their journey as your family pet.
Learn MoreIn every partnership there are ups and downs when building a relationship and with re-homed dogs this can be even more obvious as there is often a lack of medical, training or behavioural history. You have taken the big decision to re-home or adopt a rescue dog and you really want to make it work but are feeling "What have we done? Don't worry this is a normal reaction in most people's re-homing journey. This 3 month programme will support and advise on training, behaviour modification and your dogs emotional needs. There are two main stages in your relationship journey: The Transition - the first few days or weeks after you dog comes to live with you. The Journey - the next days, weeks or months that may be needed to help your dog become the family pet you dreamed of when you started this adventure.

The journey that brought me to where I am physically & professionally was a long and winding road as the Beatles said so here is a short version of the 50 odd years I have been in this world.

Hi Gill just wanted to share with you the excellent walk i had with Solo today. We went to the ranges...he met 5 dogs off lead before we went in and was a great boy (the owners were fab as well) had a little play then followed me into the ranges. Was off the lead nearly whole way round (apart from last 10 mins where mud was awful and he does love mud)...it was the type of walk I'd always imagined...you've given me the confidence to try it in the appropriate settings x"

Hi Gill, just to say a huge thank you, Usha's harness has proved to be a real game changer already! It is incredible how much she has responded to it! Onward and upward! See you in the New Year x"

You may remember us from over a year ago - Hudson and Anna.
Just a quick note to say thank you for those initial sessions.
Hudson lunged and barked at cars and you gave us some advice.
Pleased to say that after a year he is miles better. We can do a walk up to Westbourne on quieter roads and a bit by the busy road. He ignores most cars and looks to me when there is a noisy one for a treat. He’s still scared of vans but he is even better with those.
We’ve become a real partnership."
