I’ll start by saying this – I’m due to have a baby any day now despite 5 years of infertility, and if a year ago you’d told me that would be the case AND Lenny would be able to be left for two hours I would’ve been exponentially more shocked about Lenny.

I honestly believed that Lenny was going to spend his whole life unable to be left alone, that even though the training worked for other dogs he’d be the exception to the rule and it just wouldn’t work.

Angela has been our saviour. Not only is she amazing at what she does being a fountain of knowledge on separation anxiety, dog behaviour and body language, she also helped us navigate getting Lenny on medication, became a regular therapist for me on the days I couldn’t cope and was always only a WhatsApp away with any worries or questions I had – more often than not unrelated to separation anxiety.
There is no way we could have done this without her. Our beautiful boy has gone from being unable to cope with us even putting the bin out to being able to cope alone for a couple of hours. Our whole family now has the life they deserve, him feeling safe at home alone, and us able to do what we need to do without organisational gymnastics to make it happen!

Having a dog with separation anxiety is harder than many people can understand and working through it is so hard but so worth it.
Thank you will never feel like enough Angela, but thank you.”

Angela saved my sanity… handing the separation problem over to her and just following what she told me has guided me and Murphy to a place where we can safely go out for over two hours and building. Always a complete rock for me, I’m slowly getting back to some kind of life without Murph and it’s down to her dedicated patience, kindness and good humour as well as being excellent at what she does. Trust the process and I highly recommend if you’re going crazy stuck with a dog that won’t be left to immediately give her a call!!! Thanks Angela…!

“We were really fortunate to have found Angela to train our Vizsla puppy Xena. To first help us, she visited our house and provided very useful information on the early do’s and don’ts and on how to make our home and garden puppy safe.

This was followed by the puppy training class, plus one more personal session at our home to help us with Xena’s difficulties in being left alone and jumping. There after we followed on to the intermediate class.

All of this has helped Xena in developing into a healthy, happy and well adjusted dog, who listens most of the time. Angela’s positive approach to dogs has really paid off. Xena is now aware and comfortable with a large range of commends.

Angela also makes every one in her class, dogs and owners alike, feel really special. We thoroughly enjoyed going to class each week and also learned a lot from seeing how the other dogs and owners progressed.

We would strongly recommend Angela to any new puppy owners, it has made the world of difference to us.“

“I have met many dog trainers, most lack the ability to communicate with the human and some even lack the ability to understand the dog.
Angela helped me with my dog Nancy. Angela is a shining star. She has empathy, relatability, understanding, kindness and also rather importantly a very good skill of assessing dogs. She has a fine tuned skill for assessing body language of the dog, and both the experience and knowledge of dog behaviour. This knowledge of the dog coupled with her ability to communicate to the owner is a winning formula. I thoroughly recommend you go with her.

I first met Angela on one of her online puppy classes in 2021, and was impressed by her approach to dog training. When she offered Dynamic Dog assessments as part of her training, I decided to apply with my corgi, Gwion, as I am mindful of the potential challenges of owing a dog with achondroplastic conformation. It was lovely to see Angela again and catch up, and she was very thorough in taking a history for Gwion and finding out about his life and overall health. The instructions for taking photo and video evidence were very clear, and in the final assessment we went over the findings together, with Angela explaining various observations that could be having an impact on my dog’s wellbeing, including a video. The findings were also sent to my vet, and Angela made several suggestions of possible next steps to help support my dog and ensure he gets to live his best life.

“Angela has been an invaluable help in training our Labrador puppy, Stella, since she first arrived home 3 months ago. Even though my wife and I had family dogs as children, it had been 20 years since either of us had had a dog in the house, and we were clueless as to modern training methods, and just how effective clicker based training can be.

Weekly one-to-one sessions at home have ensured that Stella has solid behavioural foundations and is already very easy to have in the house. Angela clearly has a real affinity for dogs, and evident skill in training them.

More importantly, she has a good manner in ‘training the owners’, which is the real challenge! We have particularly appreciated the way that she has involved our 2 sons (aged 10 and 8) in Stella’s training sessions.

The sessions have allowed our 10 year old to develop a real appreciation of how to interact with his first puppy, and have given him welcome self-esteem as he sees his training efforts pay off in Stella’s obedience.

Equally, Angela helped our 8 year old get over his initial nervousness about a ‘jumpy puppy’, which allowed him develop his own rapport with Stella.

Angela has also helped with strategies to improve canine-feline relations in the house (which got off to a bit of a rocky start, but which are now on the mend!), and, beyond the training, has been been a helpful source of general advice on puppy care.

Professional, enthusiastic, always on time, we’ve very much enjoyed the sessions with Angela, and Stella in particular has become very fond of the ‘Treat Lady’!”

We were so happy to find Angela. Not only does she have a wealth of knowledge on how to better support our sensitive dogs, but she’s incredibly patient, kind, supportive and genuinely cares all throughout the process.

Our rescue pup suffers greatly with separation anxiety and fear of abandonment, but Angela has worked closely alongside us to help reduce her symptoms, save our sanity as dog parents and increase the time we’re able to leave our dog for.

We may still have a way to go, but knowing we have Angela to turn to as a valuable resource helps us stay confident we can get there.

I recommend her to anyone who says they have any training or behavioural challenges with their dogs, and it’s extra convenient that she can work with people from all over the world too which was helpful for us 😊
