"Not content with a 'Rescue' dog, we added to our troubles with a puppy! Using Jan Fennell methods we did our best to unravel the complications, but in the end we swallowed our pride and contacted Georgie. She called to see 'The Boys' in action, most of it frantic, and made her suggestions about how to improve matters. 8 months later, and both dogs have made enormous progress. What was something of a nightmare has transformed into a joy. We cannot recommend Georgie more highly than with two very happy and contented dogs."

"The theory behind dog listening is so logical and simple; I would never have realised that our biggest problem of Brooke trashing when left alone could be interlinked with so many other smaller issues that seemed insignificant at the time. The hardest bit was getting ourselves out of the bad habits, not Brooke, it came naturally to her! Brooke seems to be so much calmer now, we can leave her and not have the constant anxiety of what we are going to come back to. Georgina was extremely helpful, explaining Amichien Bonding methods thoroughly and to suit our individual situation. I would suggest to anyone who is experiencing problems with their much loved pooch that taking a short amount of time to understand these practices will change their day to day life remarkably."

"I thought the problem was my youngest dog Dino as he barked viciously at everything, walking was a nightmare. However Georgina showed me that it was actually my eldest dog Enzo who was the problem, he believed he was the alpha male and ruled everyone. Georgina guided me in the right direction to take Enzo's status away and show him the alpha status was mine. Once Dino felt confident in me as the decision maker I saw an immediate change immediately in him". Walking is now a pleasure.

"After your visit, our dog's behaviour now makes sense and we feel we can communicate with her better. Although we are not experienced dog owners, your instructions and method were easy to grasp. Keep up the good work!"

"Georgina's help has been invaluable. Our collie is turning into a lovely loving dog, having got over her previous fear of tall men with beards! Though she has the occasional lapse, generally she is a much better and balanced dog all round"

"We found it so helpful to have Georgina explain in greater detail Jan Fennell's method, and it gave us the opportunity to ask questions specific to our situation. It is a fantastic training method and makes so much sense, it has really helped us to understand how our dog views life in contrast to us and has made for a truely wonderful friendship."
Sara and Charles Stuart
"We first contacted Georgina because both our dogs (and in particular Sky) were inclined to be very boistrous and noisy whenever we had visitors and also they were very excitable at mealtimes. A separate problem was that Sky barked continuously when we met other dogs while on walks. Georgina observed the dogs, explained a lot to us about dog behaviour and then suggested strategies we could put into place. We have now been using these new approaches for about 6 months and there is a vast improvement when we have visitors and at mealtimes, with both dogs being much calmer. Recently a friend visited who hadn't seen the dogs for some time and she was amazed at the difference! Sky is infinitely better on walks and now only barks occasionally and for a much shorter period of time. We have been delighted with all the help Georgina gave us and would highly recommend her."

I rehomed Darcy and had the normal problems owners have with their dog, he wouldn't walk on his lead, off his lead if he saw something interesting he was off. He used to jump on everybody who walked through my door, he had no manners at all.
Georgina came round and explained everything and why he was acting like he was (and it wasn't him that needed training, it was me!)
After I learned how to make him believe that I’m the pack leader not him, Darcy is a much happier dog. He's a joy to be around and that daily drag around the park is no more.
Georgina was brilliant, always on hand by phone or email to give me extra advice when I needed it.
I really would recommend her and this method to anyone.

"Quite by chance, two weeks before collecting our 8 week old chocolate lab, my husband Gordon spotted Jan Fennell's book 'The Practical Dog Listener' and thought we should read it. How fortunate, as this completely transformed our approach to acclimatising a very loving but strong-minded and boisterous dog to our 'pack'! However, we experienced some behavioural difficulties (eg Abigail lauching herself at us like a large furry exocet missile on an almost daily basis! Not good when she weighs 5 stone!) and knew that we needed expert help! Enter Georgina...! What a wise move on our part, as we found her to be friendly, approachable and, above all, full of commonsense suggestions and advice that we were able to follow. Result... a calmer and happier dog (and pack!) We were never at any time made to feel foolish or that we had in any way 'failed' Abigail. Georgina's assurance that these methods would help Abigail was exactly what we needed to give us the confidence to persevere. Very sadly, Gordon died quite suddenly just before Christmas 2008. Amongst the turmoil everything else that was happening, I wondered whether I would be able to manage the care of our beloved dog on my own. Was I good enough and capable enough to be able to look after her? Thankfully, Georgina has beensucha support (via texts phone and visits). She has been able to provide me with much needed reassurance and sensible advice, with the result that I now feel far more confident of being able to provide Abigail with what she needs. I can, do and will continue to recommend Georgina to anyone with an interest in dogs.Gordon and I also made Jan Fennell aware of our views. I am delighted to be able to provide this testimonial."
