Hi Joe,
Clare here, you came to help my husband and I with our
dog Breeze. The first few days were very trying,
especially when re-uniting but she is now doing so well.
When we re-enter the house it is a matter of seconds
before she calms and has no interest in us and we are
able to call her over on our terms. She no longer
follows us around the house and we have seen her nervous
energy drop considerably. It is almost becoming a joy
walking her on the lead. She still pulls occasionally
but there is definitely a huge change in her. We are
going to try and take her on a long walk in a week or so
on a long lead and hopefully the recall will still work!
Just wanted to let you know how we were getting on. I am
with my parents in Greece at the moment and they have a
dog and a puppy and I have been using the techniques on
them and it is amazing how well they are getting on.
Thanks for all your help.
Clare, Jason and Breeze.

Hi Joe,
Just a note to say thanks so much for your help with our
Labradoodle Conor. (the dog that was once known as devil
dog to name a few!).
Although it takes a lot of time and patience I think we
are finally cracking it. Conor is no longer acting as
the alpha male and is finally resigning to the fact that
he can put all his stress and worries away as we have
now taken over this role for him. Rome was not built in
a day and all your advice and teachings are continually
being put into practice on a daily basis I believe he is
starting to understand were his role is in our family
pack.
Visitors to the house have all commented on the fact
that the atmosphere in our house is so much calmer and
when Conor is introduced to the room he is not going to
be the centre of everyone’s attention. And will just
look at them and lie on the floor, whereas before as you
know he would jump up and pull their clothes for ever
and a day never wanting to give up.
As you say this training will continue for as long as it
takes and I feel that the progress so far has made me
and my family happy dog owners, not the miserable ones
we were turning into snapping and losing our tempers
because (devil dog) Conor was ruining our lives.
Conor is a loving and fun dog and yes sometimes he does
have relapses, but we now stay calm ( unlike before )and
start from the beginning which reinforces the work you
have shown us to become Alpha’s in our pack.
We know that if we have any concerns about the training
you have given us or feel we just are not getting it
right , you are only a call or email away. And your
calls to see how we are getting on give great support
and positively.
Now I am a proud dog owner, glad to have this hairy
friend as a walking companion. Not the devil dog who
would stop at nothing to empty the contents of old
ladies handbags if they stopped me for a chat or try to
take crisps from a child in a passing pushchair.
As you say the training and advice you have taught us
will be ongoing with such a strong minded boy, but we
cannot help but smile when we think of how unhappy and
frustrated we were just a few weeks ago until you Joe
changed our way of thinking and interacting with our
dog.
If you are reading this and thinking, Is this training
worth the money? Can this man really help us and our
dog? Then the answer is yes. Trust me all those weeks of
dog training classes seemed like a waste of time now Joe
has been to our home and seen Conor in his own
environment with us. Training on mass with other dogs is
nothing compared to 1:1 training specific to your needs.
Well done Joe and Thanks

Dear Joe,
Kim and I would like to say a big thank you for your help with Ronni the
Rotti. We had tried trainers and clubs without success, we then came
across your web site and contacted you.
The result is we now know exactly what we should be doing.
Following your instructions we have now established the ideal
relationship with Ronni.

Hello Joe,
Just thought I would drop you a line to say how pleased
I am with the dog help you gave me and hopefully this
will help anyone else who is looking for dog help like I
was and having difficulty deciding.
You said you was having a new web site built and I
thought you might find this letter useful if you have a
“Happy Clients Page” on it.
As you know my dog was barking every time I left my
home, and the neighbours started to complain. I then got
a letter from the council and I knew then I had to do
something about it.
I consulted several “Dog Trainers” and “Dog
Behaviourist” for advise and then I spoke to you and you
really seemed to know why my dog was barking and more
important what I could do about it. None of the trainers
are cheap, including you, but I can honestly say it was
really good value for my money.
You came to my home and watched and listened to what was
going on with me and my dog, and advised me how I could
correct it in a gentle kind way. You was with me for 4
hours and it was most interesting, hearing from you what
and why my dog was doing various things.
You then sent me a very detailed report confirming
everything you had advised me on.
As a method of correcting bad behaviour with a dog I
would recommend any one to use a “Dog Listener”, as I
can now leave my dog and he never bothers barking for
me.
Very kind regards and thanks
Mary Hills
Hi Joe
I would just like to thank you for the great work you
did with me and my Shih tzus Frankie and Molly. The
techniques you showed us really helped us understand and
change our
dogs behaviour. It was money well spent and I'd like to
recommend you to anyone else who needs a kind dog
trainer
thank you very much

Dear Joe
Just sending you a small e-mail to tell you that we had
company this evening and after telling them what to do,
we had a lovely evening and Gunner was well behaved,
thanks to you. Even the neighbours noticed the
difference in Gunner (no barking). Many thanks, from Mike and Annette. Corringham
Hello Joe,
Liz and treacle here, we are both doing ok ,Treacle is doing well with her
walk when I take her even with other dog, as far as the
food goes well she has learned how to help herself when
I go out and she is not eating too well today, I think
it might be a bit to warm for her, apart from that she
is doing really well, from Liz and Treacle Woof Woof

Morning Joe,
Thanks so much for coming to see us all on Saturday. We
found your advice very helpful and informative.
I know its only less than 48 hrs since your visit, but
here is an up-date over the weekend.
On Saturday we put into practice the meal routine, and
that has been successful ever since.
Keith tried going out the front door and used the
opening/closing of the door routine and that worked too.
We've pulled him off the sofa when we haven't called him
to us. In fact couple of times he jumped up next to me,
and got off just as I was about to pull him off! He must
have known.
When he has barked at the cats coming in we've put him
in the kitchen. Sat evening he was in and out three
times. The cats went off in the end. How long should he
be left each time if he keeps coming out and barking?
The only thing we are having a prob with is "walking" in
the garden. We just cannot get his mouth off the chain.
We tried four times on Sunday. The weather didn't help.
Does he do it because he still thinks he's Alpha? Any
suggestions? You made it look so easy!
He still play bites, but we'll continue to work on this.
Anyway, thought you would find the above of interest.
Hope to hear back from you soon.
Regards Debbie-- Elsenham Essex
Hi Joe
Thanks for coming today.
Had to tell you that I've just walked them individually
round the garden then round outside and the difference
already is incredible. I know it's going to take a
while but just had to tell you. They are now lying at my
feet and didn't even attempt to jump up on the bed! Feel
really positive about this and once again thank you for
your time.
Take care. Lisa-- Grays Essex
Joe,
I just cannot tell you how much we appreciated your
help, advice and teaching methods. Whisper is
transformed, she stretches out at our feet, relaxes and
is relishing being a dog! I cannot claim we have yet
changed her car chasing ways but on the lead she is much
improved, unless there is a really good scent of
something. We have done as you suggested and mainly
trained her in the garden.
Many many thanks,
With kind regards, Clare Dawson

Hi Joe,
Just wanted to let you know how we've been getting on
since your visit - well what can I say I think we have a
different dog.
Since you visited we immediately introduced your four
basic rules in our daily routine, and in a very short
period of time noticed a difference in Jaspers
behaviour. Instead of jumping all over our visitors he
now waits to be greeted, he is very patient at meal
times and our walks are slowly becoming a pleasure. Over
the fields and park Jasper is no longer on a lead and
now plays with the dogs we used to avoid.
Keith and I can't thank you enough for the knowledge
that you gave us and how it has changed our life with
Jasper and all our future four legged friends.
Thanks again, Julie & Keith

Dear Joe
I am just dropping you a line to keep you informed about
Scrumpy's
progress. As you are aware we rescued our 3 year old
Staffordshire cross
from a dogs home, 12 weeks ago. When he arrived,
although his behaviour
in the house and towards people was excellent, we found
that he was
particularly aggressive towards other dogs whilst out
walking.
Thanks to your advice, you will be pleased to know that
over the past few
weeks Scrumpy's behaviour has shown a marked
improvement, to the point
that he will quite happily walk with other dogs.
Although occasionally he
will fall back to his old ways, we now have the
confidence to deal with
it, thanks to you.
We would like to thank you again for all the
professional advice and
encouragement you gave, which has helped us to enjoy
family life with our
dog.
Many thanks The Groves Family

Hi Joe
Just a short note - we are pleased to report that we
are now seeing a gradual change in Kalli. She seems
to be a lot calmer
all round. She is definitely better when family come
into the house, but still over-excitable with new
people (even though we tell them what to do,
they don't seem to
listen) . We are doing our figure of
eights and she is much better on the lead. She seems
to be a lot more attentive to me - as if waiting for
me to tell her what to do next. I have been trying
the 'off /on off/on' the lead whilst in our woods and
she is responding well to that, coming back to me 99%
of the time; really excited to be coming back as
well. Wait Stop and Sit is nigh on perfect now.
Makes life a lot more stress-free. All we need now
is for this to happen 'with distractions' but
obviously we will have to be patient.
No more 'tea-towel' eating either. She still steals
them, but then brings them back to me without being
asked to. So some headway there too.
Many thanks. No doubt we will have more questions
later on.
Regards
Sheila and Jenny

PS To prove how much better she is,
my son
actually took her for a long walk the other day -(
this is the son who did not like her - said she was
"mad". ) ... and
he did it without being asked
Afternoon Joe,
Just a quick e mail to thank you for sorting out the problem
of our two fighting lurcher crosses, Vinnie and Keith.
We've continued with the Alpha training regime you set us, and
although it's only 5 weeks since you visited us, we can both
see the benefits of it working already-excellent!!
Both dogs are much happier as well, and the stress and worry
for us of them fighting has now
disappeared, so we are aiming to keep up the regime, as it
works and is easy to follow.
Thanks again for your continued support, and look forward to
catching up again soon.
Best wishes
Rob & Helen Simpson

Before Visit
Please give a short description of your Dog's behaviour ---
Norman is 10month
old Newfoundland he jumps up, mouths, bites, humps, barks, pulls on lead. He
weighs approx 8stone and is getting to hard to handle PLEASE HELP After My Visit
Dear Joe,
A BIG thank you for your help with our 10 month old unruly Newfoundland
Norman. Within hours of you leaving we had a completely different dog and he is now so well behaved when people come to
visit. He still has his odd moments with Amy but this is soon cured with his
timeouts. We haven't had a chance to really try him on his lead as we have had builders in for the last few weeks but when they have finished we will be out with him every day for an hour or
so. Will keep you informed of his progress in the new year. Couldn't have got this far without your help once again thanks.

Hi Joe
Thanks very much for your follow up call this morning.
Wanted to send an e-mail to you to back up my comments and thank you so much for the help that you have given us.
It was lovely to meet you last week and the advice that you have given us is second to none
In a week, Baxter is like a different dog, he doesn't jump up at people when they come in the front door and plays only when we want to!! He is the same soft temperament dog just much more well behaved
The walking is coming along and we have already noticed a difference, we will continue to persevere and I think we will have the perfect dog.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anybody who has issues with their dog and I have already passed your number to three more people who have known Baxter and are amazed at the difference. Thank you so much again

Hi Joe
Just letting you know that everything is going fine with simba and bullit,
going out with them now is like having two new dogs, no pulling.
And recall is a lot better, apart from the odd day,but even then it's still a lot better than it was,
they are both improving all the time. Many thanks.
