Now retired I regularly recommended Lesley Thompson to prospective clients asking for help and guidance with their dog’s behaviour concerns. I have known Lesley many years.

Lesley is academically qualified holding a degree in behaviour but crucially she has many years of hands on experience i...

We had a one to one session with Lesley for our 10 Month old Puppy. Lesley was really Friendly and Professional, showing us different methods to calm and distract from situations where Fred would become over excited or start to show aggression. We can see a difference just after a couple of days putting training into place. Would highly recommend!

Lesley was recommended by a friend having had a number of behavioural problems with our 3 year old Shih Tzu. Today, in a 1:1 session, Lesley shared her extensive knowledge, helping us to understand, giving us advice and demonstrating some basic techniques that will go a very long way and that have already had a positive impact. Thank you Lesley, we learnt so much, you have given us hope and direction.

We have had a one to one session with Lesley and that's helped a lot to understand what we need to change to help our dog behave better when walking on the streets. He barks at other dogs and sometimes People but after an hour with Lesley little things have already changed and we feel we can smooth his behaviour. Recommended.

What an absolute god send Lesley is, although we've had a dog before, we were new to owning a puppy. Massive eye opener!!! We contacted Lesley in relation to some behavioural issues for our almost 10 month old puppy, so far we've had a couple of great one 2 one sessions, Both us and our puppy have learnt so much with Lesley's help. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a trainer who is knowledgeable, uses positive reinforcement and is you can also have a laugh with 🙂
