Sasha
"I’ve had my dog Sasha since the age of 7 weeks and although she has always been gentle natured she was attacked by a male Mastiff when only about one year old. This attack scared her and it left her unable to trust other dogs. 'Attack as the best form of defence' became her strategy. It got so bad that a few years down the line I was unable to take her for a walk, she wouldn’t listen to me, and I had very little control over her whether inside or outside the house. This behaviour wore me down, caused me distress, and as a result she was never allowed off the lead in public areas. Walking her became more and more impossible; her only form of enjoyment and exercise was in our garden. Taking her out became a thing of the past. When she’s snarling, drooling and prancing on her back legs, generally looking quite fearsome, and totally out of control… How can you explain to people that your pretty loveable German Shepherd is really a nice dog?"
In early 2005 I was introduced to Simone Day. After a home consultation and attending her training classes I really started to take on board her effective ways of gaining control of my dog in every situation imaginable. Sasha and I now meet with Simone once a week which helps to build my confidence. Sasha is now six years old, well behaved, friendly towards people and other dogs. She is off lead when walking in the park and can be taken anywhere. If only we had met Simone years earlier I wouldn’t have experienced so many traumas with my dog as a delinquent pup." ~ Annette Ward
Isis
"Isis arrived with us four months ago, needing to be rehomed at the age of three, and having recently had a litter of pups.
We didn’t know what had hit us and at the end of the first month, we were shattered, despondent and had received a complaint from the council about her constant barking when left alone. She was behaving in a way neither of us had ever experienced before with any of our previous dogs, and we were on the verge of taking her back to the breeder.
Thankfully we met Simone and from the very first session she had with us and Isis, things started to improve. Simone’s strategy for dealing with the barking was an instant success, and her work with Isis to help her feel more secure and less threatened when left on her own or when coming into contact with other people, is producing great results.
We’re continuing to work with Simone to help Isis overcome her issues and become a happy and settled member of the family. In only three months, we feel we’ve got a different dog, the improvement in her behaviour is amazing and without Simone’s help, we would sadly have had to admit defeat.
Thank you Simone – we couldn’t have done it without you." ~ Jenny, Tom & Isis
