I first met Gilli when I rescued a deaf puppy who was at risk of being put to sleep. and Gilli was kind enough to offer her a home. Gilli has the most incredible affinity with dogs.

I have seen nervous dogs instantly take to her, and bolshy overconfident dogs automatically recognise that she is to be respected, without her ever having to resort to bully tactics.

I have done countless courses and read many books on dog behaviour but none of them can teach you the gift that Gilli has. She understands that every dog (and owner) is unique, never ridicules or intimidates, and always gets results. Her work is instinctive, compassionate, common sense and always the right approach for the individual dog. If I were a dog, she would be the trainer I would choose for myself                           Jo

We got Jed (shep/possibly collie X) at 10 months old and were told he was an escape artist with no recall at all. After talking with Gilli online she arranged to meet up with us and help with his recall. All I can say is along with her gang of dogs it was amazing how quickly Jed responded and perfected his recall. He is the most amazingly laid back dog now, loves people and I really do think that without Gilli's help we would never have got to this stage. I've used her advice and passed it on to other people and they too have found it helpful

Gilli is the most 'tuned in' to dogs person I know, she's calm and confidant and helped us to sort out our dogs recall amongst other things. I'd recommend her to anyone and her own dogs are amazing too. Her patience with untrained humans is worth noting as she makes you feel you can deal with anything                L High

 

A great trainer :) my rather anxious dog responded well to the patient approach and now can't wait to get to agility classes

Gilli is a very patient trainer and I have seen her turn the most unruly dog into an excellent, happy pet. She has trained a totally deaf dog to do agility and will work with any temperament. A highly recommended service

An excellent trainer with a good understanding of what makes dogs tick. She has worked with my dog who has socialisation issues & very quickly got him to accept "strange" dogs close to him. Her methods are calm & effective & the dogs love her.
