Beard meets Dog was friendly and reassuring helping me to handle my dog Bramble who has problems accepting her lead. Once on the lead she is much better. Obviously, I have a long way to go to encourage her to accept the lead and I know I can call at any time for support and advice and for boosting my confidence.

Finally I have found a behaviourist that has actually helped in my quest to give my 4yr old Standard Poodle a stress free life.
Kaspar was extremely lead reactive and found it difficult to go out anywhere without constantly fixating on other dogs, he would always scan the area looking for them, not enjoying his walks or taking any notice of me.
This was made worse by inconsiderate individuals just letting their uncontrolled dogs of lead to roam and run up into Kaspar’s space, and because they have no control and couldn’t recall their dog it would end badly.
After spending ££££ with other trainers/behaviourist I saw Will on his website, thank goodness I did as he is completely different in his approach, he reads and assesses the dog’s state and explains each movement of the dogs body language. He is also the only one that took the lead and walked with Kaspar.
Kaspar was one of his more difficult dogs and we worked with different methods but finally we used the e collar.
No it’s not a quick fix as some anti e collar positive only trainers would have you believe, it is a tool to use safely in the hands of an expert that gets the focus back.
I travelled 150 miles each way for 2 initial sessions and as I needed more stayed in the area, while we were working for short sessions over 4 days. Will was at all times aware of Kaspar’s needs and gave breaks from training as necessary.
With Will’s expert guidance Kaspar is a different dog! He is more relaxed and a lot less edgy of the environment.
As I said e collars are not a quick fix and the work is on going with Kaspar, but now I have his focus to be able to guide and make him feel safe amongst other dogs.
Thank you Will.
Hi…My Name is Tunde, a Hungarian self-motivated animal lover. I am providing professional dog walking service with training and playtime. I grew up on a Farm in Hungary around dogs, chickens, sheeps. I spent all my free time with the animals, took care of them, played with them. I am a dog owner too and put my knowledge of dogs into practice when raising Jasper, my 2 year old whippet.

I had an exceptional experience with Tunde and T Diamond Ltd's cat day care and walking service. Tunde took care of my two kittens, one of whom required extra attention and daily medication.
Tunde's professionalism and genuine love for cats were immediately evident. He went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of my furry companions. The daily medication was administered flawlessly, and he took the time to provide personalized care and attention to both of my kittens.
Furthermore, Tunde's communication was outstanding. I received regular updates and photos of my cats during their day care sessions, which provided me with peace of mind.
I couldn't be happier with the level of care and dedication Tunde provided to my kittens. It's clear that he is passionate about his work and genuinely cares for the animals he looks after. I highly recommend T Diamond Ltd's cat day care and walking service to any pet owner seeking top-notch care for their beloved feline friends. Thank you, Tunde, for your exceptional service!
Fun Staffy Dog Training was born as a legacy to my nervous and dog aggressive Staffy as I was looking for kind and effective training methods for her. I have had guardian dogs like Cane Corsos, Caucasian Shepherds and German Shepherds for over 10 years and other dog breeds for at least 20. When I had my Staffy and came across training solutions that were gentle and not damaging to our relationship I set up my business so that I can help other pet parents with similar issues and more.
I have always loved dogs - every day is their best day! I offer services across the Bournemouth and Poole area. The best way to contact me is via phone/email or if you send me a message with your contact details, I’ll get be touch. I run group classes for puppies and adolescent dogs from my training studio in Kinson. My puppy classes have a maximum of 4 puppies, meaning you and your pooch will receive plenty of one-on-one attention and guidance from me.
We try to encourage a better understanding of dog behaviour which in turn leads to better judgement in training as all dogs have very different needs as do their owners. We offer a 2 hour session at your home to discuss and discover your needs and the needs of your dog to ensure that the right training plan is set in place for your family. Please contact us for any further information about what is offered with DogMa.

What can I say about Karen Harvey and her Dogma Dog School!! This Canine Connoisseur was highly recommended to us about 18mths ago by a neighbour. We had just become proud owners of then 4yr old Arnold, a Springer Spaniel Cross, who we got from a Margaret Green Rescue Centre (Also Recommended)
Although full of beans, having come from a rescue centre, there were one or two issues that needed addressing, so we called on Karen's services. We then had a 2hr session with her. It was during this time that I knew we weren't barking up the wrong tree with Karen, because when she asked Arnold to sit, my wife sat down as well!!!! It was then I knew how good she was!
During the session also, she was able to establish that the way Arnold reacted to certain things, that he had a degree of training before. One of the main things that she tried to instil into us, were things that we could do to help ourselves with Arnold, in respect that it didn't get to the point where we'd lost his respect and that he started owning us! Rather than the other way around!!
18mths on, we still regularly use Karen's services, whether it be dog walking or boarding. We have no hesitation in leaving Arnold with her as when we go away, because we know that he's going to be well looked after and loved as if he was one of her own.
So, to sum up, if you're looking for a reliable, inexpensive, Bone A Fido, place for your Pooch, or any canine issues, then I can't recommend Dogma Dog School more highly!!! As for Karen? She's the Mutt's Nut's!!!

Marcelle is an amazing dog trainer.
My Jack Russell was not good with other dogs but after the training course she is now a different dog and will play and interact with other dogs.
Marcelle will continue to give training for as long as it takes to correct your dogs behaviour with the one off payment unlike other trainers that only give you a set amount of sessions.
I cannot recommend Marcelle enough and I was very lucky to find her.

We recently called Marcelle into our home to help us with our 20 month old French Bulldog Wilson who unfortunately had become a bit of a handful & thought that he was the boss. He would regularly grow & lunge himself at other dogs whilst on the lead but off lead he was absolutely fine. Marcelle taught us that if we didn't take control now he would become a dangerous dog for others to be around, we knew as soon as we heard that we had to start making changes to not only Wilsons life but ours aswell. We got to work straight away, changing his food to a raw diet and making rules and boundaries for him to follow. I cannot even explain the THANKS we give to Marcelle for her tips, ideas & excellent knowledge and training of our dog because with out her we wouldn't of been able to achieve what we have only 2 WEEKS down the line. We have a calm & in control dog who I am now not scared to take back out with me.
After seeing another local dog trainer & it being horrendous and resulting in tears & a scared dog Marcelle completely changed my views on what a "dog trainer" is. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends & family who are having problems with her dog not only does she offer great support on the day but I have continual contact with Marcelle even after the training session to find out how we are getting on and to remind me we are doing a great job with Wilson.
Thanks again Marcelle for your friendly & professional approaching to not just me & Aaron but to Wilson aswell! You are amazing!!!

Quite simply working with dogs and helping them to become calm and balanced.
I've been fascinated with dogs from the day I was born being lucky enough to always have a dog or two in our family home. As soon as I owned a property I bought a dog. That's when I got into Dog Behaviour because the dog we took home had serious behavioural problems at just 10 weeks. We were advised to have him put down however I just couldn't do that, so we found a Dog Behaviourist and turned our problem pup into a loving family dog within no time.
We've taken on other dogs with behavioural problems and when you recondition those behaviours and turn the dog in question into a calm and balanced dog it really is amazing to see.
So many friends used to call me for dog advice so over time I got fully qualified and then Calm Down Dawg was born.
I'm not just qualified to work with dogs because I've also been accredited by Pareto Law to train and coach humans and I'm pretty sure I'm the only Dog Behaviourist in the UK that can say that. In order to shape your dog into a calm and balanced dog I need to train and coach you on how to make that happen.
