"Hazel has given us fantastic support with our puppy, from basic training to help with challenging behaviour.  She showed us very practical training techniques that were easy to follow, whilst also helping us to understand what our puppy was thinking and feeling and how we needed to adapt our own behaviour to help him feel safe and develop.  Hazel’s approach is both practical and compassionate: her primary concern was the welfare of our dog, but she also understood how we felt as first-time dog owners dealing with challenging puppy behaviour.  We can’t praise Hazel highly enough. And our puppy absolutely loves her!

Thanks again for your support. We couldn’t have done it without you!"

"Hazel gave me a lot of confidence in what I was doing with Nala, she was friendly and relaxed finding out what I wanted to know, while giving advice about how to manage my puppy. The session was not rushed and I felt that I came away with training advice that has been invaluable."

"Hazel's support with our puppy has been invaluable. We initially asked for her help as our puppy appeared anxious and we were struggling to leave him alone. Hazel visited our home and gave us guidance and practical tips that we could implement straight away, having almost immediate impact. 

A couple of follow-up visits have benefitted us greatly with knowing how to handle our puppy whilst out on walks. We would highly recommend Hazel's services."

"Hazel's approach to training made things a lot easier for us as well as Sushi to learn what she should and shouldn't be doing. Things have improved so much since we had our sessions. Everything she did to help us train Sushi was very clear to us and easy for us to replicate."

"2 weeks before Bonfire Night, Hazel came to visit our family dog, Jarvis, due to his fear of fireworks. Hazel gave us some techniques to cope but even though we did not have much time to prepare before Bonfire Night itself, an improvement in Jarvis was visible. We continued with the training and saw an even bigger improvement by New Year's Eve."

"I asked for help with training my 3 year old lurcher, Poppy. I had been finding her difficult to take out and let off lead as she was roaming far and wide and barking randomly at people at any time. Hazel has had a few sessions with us, and I feel like we have learned a lot. She has shown me how to keep Poppy's attention, how to re-engage with her and most of all she has helped me to understand when Poppy is nervous and how to help her more fully. She has shown me how to make sure that Poppy is always under control. 

I feel like I have learned a lot from Hazel and especially things that I had no picked up from the many general dog training classes we have taken. I have been delighted to have been working with Hazel, it's really made a difference to my confidence and understanding. Poppy is paying more attention to me and improving in her response to recall and interation. 

"I struggled to get my hyperactive pup to calm down and listen to commands. I tried lots of different techniques from the web and had little to no success. I'm so happy I contacted Hazel - my dog's behaviour has improved massively after only 2 sessions! The sessions are tailored to you and you are shown exactly what to do. Toby's getting better and better, walks are far more enjoyable with him. I highly recommend Hazel for anyone that's having training issues to go for this, you won't regret it!"

Hazel has been working with our puppy Ralph and us since he was 12 weeks old.  

As first time puppy owners, Hazels advice and support has been invaluable. We really feel Ralph has benefited hugely from his training. Hazel's advice is practical and realistic, but also fun and Ralph absolutely loves his training sessions.  

Each session we have so many questions which Hazel always patiently answers. Although the practical training tips are very useful, the reassurance we receive that our puppy is 'normal' is also really important!

I would highly recommend Hazel to anyone who is thinking about getting a pup!
