Reggie 5 months old Cavoodle had his first training session with Philippa yesterday. Philippa asked about what problems and/or changes I would like fixed and then took me through some dog speak and psychology. Although I had been training Reggie since he was 8 weeks old, to sit, lay, etc. he started to get very stubborn and started to choose if he would ignore me or not, at times putting himself in danger by running out the front door and across the road and chasing Kangaroos and he would Bark and Bark at the slightest sound!
On our first session, Philippa implemented some of the behaviour changes I had had requested and you could see he started thinking about what he was going to do. Yes, he still had some stubborn moments which Philippa very professionally overcame the problem quickly. Philippa was very knowledgeable pulling out tricks of her own to immediately deal with his behaviour, never once coming in contact, and using her voice with the dog in a gentle manner. Reggie responded so well. I was starting to struggle and now felt encouraged knowing what a great decision it was to have him trained, I can’t wait to see the result. Philippa rang the next day to check how we were going and if we had any questions, which impressed me.
Highly recommend Philippa’s service.
