“Thanks so much for helping me with Stanley, we both really enjoyed your lessons and your advice has helped us immensely.”

Stanley’s owner

“He is amazing on walks now, the pattern games have totally changed how we communicate and we can walk round the whole field again and along the railway.”

Elvis’s owner

“Odette has guided us with understanding and powerful insight into what little Llewelyn will be feeling, and what will make him both a healthy and happy pup as he grows and learns.. we can’t thank you all enough. ”

Llewelyn’s owner

“We got a rescue dog from Greece. He was extremely anxious and traumatised. In what seemed like very few sessions I felt that we understood him better and had realistic actions we could take to start to help him. He is like a different dog now”

Snoopy’s owner

“Thank you again, I always leave the training wiser and more encouraged in myself and so enormously proud of Mutz.”

Mutz’s owner - Dog AID client
“I have gone from not enjoying walking my dog, with her barking and lunging at all unknown dogs, to today, walking around Horsham park with the sole intention of trying to meet new dogs, and her behaving in a perfectly calm and polite manner”
Daisy’s owner
“Odette was so helpful, our three dogs took to her quickly. She encouraged me in the things that I had already set in place then added new strategies to deal with particular issues like our collie/poodle cross lunging at cars and bikes.”
Oakley, Findlay and Holly’s owner
“Hugo has come on leaps and bounds, he is so much happier being left at home. He was home alone for 3 hours, he’d made himself a lovely nest to sleep in and hadn’t even bothered to get up to ‘check’ the post!”
Hugo’s owner

“All the information you have given me is fantastic and the consult write up was very enjoyable. I have already made a good start, and even whilst walking with a friend and his Hungarian Viszla. She did incredible!”

Roxy’s owner
“Odette is one of the kindest and loveliest person I know. Her knowledge about dogs behaviours and understanding are second to none.”
Prince’s owner

Milo the lovable Cavapoo had been struggling meeting unfamiliar dogs and had taken to shouting loudly at them. His mum has been working hard on her handling techniques to reduce his anxiety and reactivity and he has been doing very well. Today she wrote “Thank you for all your support. I took him swimming (it's his birthday) and he was so happy and well behaved. He went and say hello to few dogs today too and had a lovely play with one of his girl friends too.” Well done Milo. I am proud of you 🧡. Keep being a good boy and keep making new friends! And a very happy 3rd birthday!! ... See MoreSee Less
