Testimonials
“Georgie has been absolutely fantastic. and I could not recommend her more! I did loads of research before getting my puppy and thought I was fully equipped... well I was not even close! Due to Covid-19 my little pup got separation anxiety due to me not leaving the house and he hated going in his crate! He woke up 4/5 times in the night crying! he cried a lot and I didn't know what to do! He absolutely would not go to the toilet outside! Even if we stayed out for hours he would hold it until we were in again! I finally got in contact with Georgie who gave me tips and tasks to do with Milo and what can I say.... she really knows her stuff! With every bump in the road she had an answer and options of how to resolve them! Her response time is amazing and she has literally been a lifesaver!! We have had several little issues with Milo that Georgie has helped correct swiftly with little trouble! My pup is now so well behaved!!! A*********** ”

“Georgina responded to my enquiry very quickly and I found her really easy to talk to. She gave me some advice straight away to help with my JR cross who suffers with severe separation anxiety whilst she got a plan together for me. I feel confident that I will soon see some results."

“Georgie has been an incredible source of help, support and encouragement in the run up to welcoming our new puppy into our home! She has been consistently quick at responding to any questions and has approached queries with care, thought and a great sense of humour! Her attention to detail is phenomenal as she has helped us to adjust our home into a 'puppy safe' environment. Thanks to her input, I feel I certainly have the basics covered and I'll no doubt be contacting her again in the future. Can't recommend enough!”

"Georgie from Howshounds came for just two hours and the difference in our 4 dogs since she left has been huge. She gave us a completely new understanding of the canine world and how their minds work. We consider ourselves to be pretty well versed in dog behaviour and training but we couldn't believe how much we learned in such a short space of time. Could not recommend her more, a real pro and hugely knowledgable in her field. "

"Your help today with my dogs was great. You were so patient with the kids too allowing them to get involved in training too. Both dogs are currently snoozing in their beds. We all feel very positive and proactive about how relaxed and happy our dogs have and will become. J keeps saying how different the dogs are in just those couple of hours. I really cant thank you enough. Looking forward to the next 3 months working together. We think you are fantastic- thank you so much! "

Earlier this year a client told me they couldnt handle their dog. After providing my usual support and realising the lady really didnt have the secure garden or space in the home to help the dog, my family and I agreed to take him. Monty is now at ours and part of the family. It took him a month to poo on the walk, 2 weeks to learn his new name and 3 months to really trust that every visitor that came and went to the house wasnt going to take him to their home. He was confused and young, dealing with the physical changes in his body too and still to this day east his tea as though he has never been fed. Professional dogs dont have training till they are 1 year old, having spent time being domesticated and allowed to teeth, grow and physically develop. Children take 4 years to become school ready and dogs can take 6-8 months to really be walk ready. As humans we have all the patience and understanding with our kids that they take years to grow and develop, they have good days and bad day and they need time to trust and understand their life with us. Why cant we allow this time and enjoy learning more about our dogs? Watching a dog develop, grow, love and trust time in their human pack or time alone as they learn about separation is a huge achievement and should involve a sense of pride. Praise them as they learn to sleep alone, look up on the walk for guidance, cock their leg if male and come back off lead when called. There is so much pressure on the new dog to arrive knowing its name and knowing how to live amongst hoovers, cars, leads, visitors and doorbells. We have to show them, spend time with them teaching them how to eat and not graze, where to toilet and how to walk nicely on a lead. We have dogs for up to15 years- allow them at least 15 day or weeks even to get life at home right first. Is this unattainable expectation we have on the dogs, the reason people just give up and rehome? We would never rehome our kids after the first months of sleepless nights? Please enjoy your dogs, they dont want to be pushed from pillar to post. They want to learn and please you. Show them what to do instead of shouting NO, STOP and DOWN. Aggression comes from fear and over tiredness. Dogs in the wild sleep for 18 hours of the day. Let our domestic sleep more, not follow, not guard at windows, not chew all day, just sleep. Then when you need them to listen and learn, walk nicely and come back on command - they will. For more please call me on 07815152781
