I just thought you might like to know that Breac is improving out of all recognition. I had friends staying last week who hadn't seen him since February, and they could hardly belive the difference - they kept commenting on how calm he was. And today I walked him along part of the West Highland Way. People he just ignored - rucsacs and walking poles and all. Then we met four dogs all off the lead - I had him on a lead in case of deer, ground nesting birds, etc., and he accepted their attentions with only a slight demur when one of the dogs put his chin on Breac's shoulder - a move which six months ago would have at least led to resistance, if not serious objection! Walking him now is a pleasure, not a nightmare, and we are both very grateful to you!
Yours,
Ann Winning
2 months later:
I felt I had to give you another up-date on Breac - last week he was invited to a wedding picnic! We all went down to the beach afterwards for champagne and sandwiches, they said to bring my dogs.
I took Breac, who behaved impeccably. Everyone said what a well-behaved dog he was; I could hardly believe it. Even when other dogs came past, he showed interest, but didn't bark or lunge. He and Jennie (their dog) played a bit, and then he settled down beside me on a rug, and watched proceedings calmly.
All my summer visitors comment on how much calmer he is.
Thank you again for your help,
Ann& Breac.

Jack was a treasure of a find from the rescue centre, apart from the fact that we could not take him in the car. He would get agitated and whine all the time to such a pitch that it was intolerable. During one visit from
Mike we did some work in the house, which was relevent to the car but not so obvious to us. And then we took the road test. Instantly it was not as bad in the car. Now, with the work that Mike set us, we now have one happy to go in the car dog. It has made our lives so much easier as even taking him to the kennels involved the car but we now do not need the kennels.
THANK YOU Mike.

Heather is my six year old labrador. She is strong willed and with a mind of her own, taking her out for walks became such a tedious task.
I was pulled every direction. Letting her off the leash was unthinkable. Heather would not come back. Obedience was just not in her vocabulary - till I met Mike and Paddy. After only a few weeks Heather was a different dog. Now we are never in. She is a joy to have now.
Thank you so much, Mike and Paddy.

"Thank you so much for your advice concerning Benjii, I am pleased to report he is now toilet trained, ---------a hugh bonus!
We have used your excellent ideas, and Benjii is a happy, confident dog now, even people who met him at first have remarked on the amazing transformation.
I think we're now on a winning streak, he is a lovely dog very affectionate and friendly, so thank you again for your help.

Thank you Mike

Now that a year has passed, I thought we would give you an update on the progress. We are pleased to say that Gemma has improved vastly. There are still a few things but hopefully they will sort themselves out with time - all in all a big improvement over the year.
We are thoroughly enjoying having her as she has so much character.

Thank you for your help with Georgie. She's a lovely wee dog now and comes well to the whistle.

Thank you so much Mike for all your help with Gemma - without which we would be living in some sort of madhouse!
