"If I could give 10stars I would. Cecelia’s professionalism, and genuine care for the animals and owners welfare, far exceeded my expectations. She teaches in such a manner where it enhances your understanding of why behaviours occur, and what you can do to help correct them. I found myself being immersed in each lesson and genuinely enjoying (sometimes more than my dog)new things each session and really delving into myself and how to help bring the best out of our dog. Cecelia has a no-nonsense realistic approach to training and will highlight anything in a very honest way. The proof of how exceptional her training regime is definitely in the pudding, we often receive compliments about how well behaved our dog is, and recommend her to anyone we can."

"I first contacted Cecilia for behavioral help with my 4 year old desperately scared rescue dog. Cecilia helped me in particular by involving Honey her own delightful and beautifully trained dog. Honey is certainly a testament to Cecilia’s excellent training skills. Sadly my dog died only a few months after I had contacted Cecilia for help. I subsequently homed 2 Golden Retrievers who had been rescued from Turkey. Although they had no behavioral issues they needed some training and Cecilia was able to offer me some valuable tips endorsed by Honey and as a result I am now lucky enough to own two lovely, manageable and happy dogs."

"We first came across Cecilia training her own dog at Ashridge Common and sat mesmerised at her dogs response to her commands. We got chatting and told her about our rescue dog, Kobi. We got our dog at the age of two with little background history. However it was clear that she had never been socialised with other dogs or even taught how to play ball. Cecilia listened to our concerns and after a brief conversation we decided to book some sessions. Although Kobi was well behaved in many ways, she was wanting to dominate practically any dog she met. Not aggressive, just inappropriate play as Cecilia put it. After a couple of lessons, Cecilia had taught us to read Kobi's body language and confidently give orders. She soon worked out that we needed as much training as our dog! A few lessons later and we now have a lovable, happy dog who enjoys playing with others on her daily walks - and off lead!!! This has obviously made us relaxed when walking, without fears of any more inappropriate behaviour. Without her help and tuition, we would undoubtedly still be walking Kobi on the lead and avoiding other dogs. I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she highly skilled at what she does, she is also an extremely amiable person who we bonded with straight away. We are looking forward to meeting up with her and her dog socially. Thank you Cecilia!!!"

"We contacted Cecilia as our 4 year old Romanian rescue dog's reactivity and bad household manners was driving us nuts. I'm so glad we did. Cecilia is so knowledgeable, not only did she give us the tools we needed to deal with our dog's issues, she helped us understand why he was behaving the way he was. She helped us build our dog's confidence and her encouragement also helped our confidence as first time dog owners. I would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone struggling with dog training."

"Well what can I say … We started working with Cecilia when Ramsey, our Dobermann puppy was 4 months old. As soon as I met Cecilia and saw how well Ramsey picked up on what he should and shouldn’t be doing, I knew I had found the right person to help us to live a happy and easy life with our new addition. Cecilia was always super professional and always tried to accommodate everything I was hoping to achieve. Cecilia has been there for us every step of the way, whether it was on the days we had booked in for training together or a desperate plea for help and guidance in a message on Facebook or just general questions and information about Ramsey and his health. I cannot rate the service we received or the outcome we managed to achieve highly enough! Both Ramsey and I have learnt so much from Cecilia and I honestly don’t think we would be where we are today without her! She truly is fantastic! I would definitely recommend Cecilia to anyone who is having any behavioural problems with their dog and most certainly will be booking in with her again should any future issues occur! Lastly … thank you so much Cecilia! You really have helped us so so SO much. I don’t know how we would of coped if we hadn’t of booked in with you a year ago. You have made our lives and most importantly Ramsey’s life so much better and happier. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything 😊"

"We started working with Ce to build and progress Cooper’s gundog training and skills.
Ce has done wonders for Cooper. We saw huge progress even from the very first session. Ce approaches gundog training in her own way, but understands the emotional state of the dog and so can tweak and adjust her methods accordingly. She’s very perceptive of him.
There really is no judgement from her towards us and the inevitable mistakes we have made with his training, which is such a breath of fresh air from a dog trainer."

"We have been working with Cecilia for 1 year. When we started we had a dog reactive & excessive excitable staffie.
Cecilia has helped us understand why he behaves like this and guided us to calm down this behaviour.
After the initial meet & the anxiety oreo showed, he is now medicated and noticed a much more calmer dog in certain situations.
We then worked on at home tips & tricks to tackle the excitement, the anxiety & with still a little way to go, we have learnt so much.
Oreo is now on a raw diet and we have such a positive experience with it, I was wary of this to start with and it’s the best thing we’ve done with his diet. We’ve gone from not being able to let him off lead to having him run around have the time of his life with 4 other dogs with no muzzle on last week. Highly recommend Cecilia, we have learnt so much & really appreciate all the help."

"Having met Ce almost a year ago with our miniature wire haired dachshund, Herbie, we have all been on a journey of discovery.
As new dog owners, Ce emphasised the need to set firm boundaries and establish strong commands. As a lockdown puppy, Herbie learned the firm rules and expected behaviours that reduced his anxiety and tendency to react to other dogs and people (and knocks on the front door). With Ce’s persistence and consistency, Herbie comes to the whistle, gets in his bed when told to, is happy to walk along crowded streets as well as meeting other dogs on walks. He is a changed and more wonderful dog. Thank you for all your help."
