"We adopted a Romanian rescue, we did not have much background knowledge about Lia, She is very good at home, friendly towards people and children, but we found that she had issues with barking at other dogs, lunging at cars, bicycles, and birds. We have had three dogs previously however this was a lot different for us and we realised we would need some guidance on how to deal with this behaviour.
Karen gave us a six week programme with a provision that we could extend this if needed. Karen was very professional, calm and gave us a lot of hints, guidance, and support. She advised us on what equipment to use, the best way to use it and how to create an environment where Lia feels safe. After six weeks, we can honestly say, the difference in Lia on our walks is significantly better than we could have hoped for. She has now made friends with other dogs and although still a work in progress, Lia is passing many other dogs without barking. We could not have done this without Karen’s help and we know if we need any further support Karen is at the end of the phone. We are very proud of how far Lia has come in such a short space of time and we would thoroughly recommend Karen’s services."
