Lisa has taught me and my dog Harris so much over the years, and I feel that she's always there to help if we have any problems or questions. I'm so much more confident taking Harris out for his walks as I have an arsenal of ways to cope with any situation. He's a happier dog and I'm a happier human Thanks Lisa!

Katie Nudd St Albans

I understand the difficulties of being on the other end of the leash with a dog expressing fear and telling other dogs to "clear off!". Even if you've had your dog from puppyhood, did all the socialisation by the book and have a dog who sleeps well and is calm at home, sometimes things can happen and your dog can feel worried and use the barking and lunging behaviour to help themselves feel safer. Not everyone has a really sociable dog, and that can be hard for strangers to understand. While we can't control what others think, say and do we can have tools to help our dogs face things they find scary.
