Scott has changed our lives by coming in and helping us with our big boy Samson. He was very anxious initially and reactive to people and other dogs, we were unable to walk him properly and had no idea how to manage his reactive behaviour. Through Scott’s guidance, persistence and giving us the tools we needed we now have a much happier boy. I couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you for everything Scott!
As first-time dog owners, we’re so grateful for Scott’s guidance. His positive, patient approach helped our anxious dog become calmer, more confident and a joy to walk. We’ve seen incredible progress in just six months - worth every session and highly recommended.
I am so thankful I found Scott!! Winston, my 18 month old Rottweiler had been to all the puppy classes & junior dog classes and was great with all his classmates. I returned home one evening and as I was shutting the front gate another dog walked past the front fence. I found myself grass skiing on the front lawn. I had to let go of him as he displayed his full strength. At that moment I knew I had a problem....what if he reacted like that outside the yard?? I became anxious to take him out for his daily walk. Are lessons with Scott were amazing. With the right tools and commands Winston was a different dog. I am now so confident that I am in control and can enjoy every minute I am out walking with Winston.
I couldn’t recommend Scott enough. My pup, Alfred, has always been a sweet boy, but as he grew, he became increasingly aggressive toward other dogs. I knew I needed to find someone who could help, and after researching, Scott was the only person who seemed like the right fit – and I was right! Alfred is a much calmer dog now. He no longer chokes himself trying to reach other dogs, and he walks past them calmly when I ask him to. Unexpectedly, Scott also taught us how to walk on a loose lead and introduced commands I never would’ve thought of. Thanks to Scott, my confidence has been restored, and I no longer feel anxious about leaving the house with Alfred. If I ever need help again in the future, I will definitely be going back. On top of all the training, Scott has a great sense of humor, and we could joke around, which made the process fun and relaxed – I never felt judged. 😂
We have spent 4 years trying to manage our smoodle’s anxiety and reactivity issues with dogs, the groomer and walking. Scott stepped in and in 6 sessions we already have a much calmer and non medicated dog who is walking nicely on his lead and approaching other people and dogs in a much nicer way. We have really appreciated the way Scott takes an active role in teaching both us and the dog. We now have a lot more confidence heading out to the park and look forward to continuing to work on this.
