Woody's Dog Training

Jo provides such a great service because of her dedication and passion for understanding dogs, their behaviour and working positively from there with a rewards based system. Her experience and knowledge shine through all the great advice she gives. Thanks for all the learning!

Polo loved her walks with Jo and was always happy when she came home. Polo had a good time with Gunner and she made a good friend. I would trust Jo with my girl and I always knew she would be safe and having fun.

We highly recommend Jo. Our dog is now 8 months old and is such a happy optimistic dog, and we attribute this to how Jo guided us through the first few weeks. The preparation session before our puppy arrived was vital for us as it's our first dog. Thanks Jo!

Discovering and working with Jo has been such a blessing, I don't know what we would have done without her care and expertise. I approached Jo to help with my first puppy, and then subsequently into her first year. Jo educated me on how to see the world through the dogs eyes and how to bond with her. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thank you Jo.

Jo is an absolutely phenomenal trainer. She's been helping me with my rescue dog for most of this year, and the progress is incredible.He came to me as a big old muscley ball of pent up energy, that had no doggie manners and couldn't regulate himself in stimulating situations.He is now a completely different dog. Still excitable at times (he's a Staffy) but impeccably behaved most of the time and able to regulate himself.Jo has taught us both so much, and has adapted her training to fit my 'neuro spicy' learning style.I can't thank or recommend her enough.

Jo is knowledgeable, kind and very approachable. As new puppy parents Jo guided us through firsts weeks in puppy’s life with patience and care which are very important for future development.Jo teaches methods but also explains reasons why to give understanding of dog psychology which is very interesting.Thanks to Jo we have a happy puppy and I would recommend Jo’s services to anybody looking for dog training.Many thanks from Jukka & Fraser and Theo the pup.

Working with Jo has been excellent from allowing us to settle our new doberman puppy Zeus when we brought him home through to basic commands that have made the world of difference is getting structure around his routine and behaviour. She has helped when things have become challenging, making home visits to observe him in his own environment, and reinforcing some of the original basics so that we enable him towards success.With Jo we have taken him on walk sessions with other puppies to help us understand approaches to socialisation with other dogs and re-inforcing good behaviour.Having a puppy is a challenge and rewarding, I'm not sure we would be having the success with his behaviour now without her guidance and support.We started with her puppy package and continue to have monthly sessions which she tailors around our specific needs and struggles. After each session Jo always provides a detailed write up so we don't have to remember everything, with links to supporting information, products, exercises, videos etc...we often refer back to the emails as it helps to reinforce behaviour and approaches.Zeus loves going to see Jo and exploring her garden, playing the games she structures and we get lots of compliments on how well behaved he is given his age and breed.We can't recommend Jo highly enough, her approaches, guidance and support are phenomenal, we would have struggled without her.

We contacted Jo after getting our puppy just as lockdown began.Jo took us on and set up zoom training sessions for us when we were really struggling . She offered invaluable support and advice . We learnt a lot and her advice enabled us to train ourselves to be better puppy parents and consequently for our pup to become calmer and more confident.We have continued to use and build on the techniques.Would highly recommend.

I absolutely loved the way Jo has trained me to understand and build a stronger relationship with my dog!Jo is a very friendly and patient person and I highly recommend if you need a dog trainer!Thank you

Jo's compassionate approach and wealth of expertise is amazing. Her methods helped me feel really empowered, helping move me from tentative beginner to a much more confident owner. I loved her intuitive approach and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her sessions. I'm hoping to return for a refresh as my dog reaches those challenges that come with their teens!
