Type any behaviour problem into Google and you'll get the same answer: reward your way out of it. For some dogs, some of the time, that works. But there are dogs where the genetics, the drive, the self-preservation instinct means you cannot bribe your way through it. Those are the dogs that end up with us. Danny Wells has been training dogs for over 15 years. He's supplied working dogs to the police and prison service. He appeared on Channel 4's Death Row Dogs: Save My XL Bully, bringing his expertise on the breed to a national audience. He co-authored What Your Dog Is Thinking with neuroscientist Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton, called 'Truly eye-opening' by The Times. He's trained dogs whose owners had spent thousands trying other routes and got nowhere. Real results from session one, or your money back.

Hi, I’m Sally. I help dogs and their families live happier, calmer lives together.
If your dog is showing challenging behaviours, it can feel overwhelming – especially when you don’t know why it’s happening. That’s where I come in.
I specialise in reactivity and aggression towards people and other dogs, as well as life skills such as recall. I also have a keen interest in gait and postural analysis, helping you to understand how what your dog is experiencing physically might be affecting their behaviour. I prioritise physical wellbeing alongside emotional wellbeing (one can’t happen without the other), for a dog that is comfortable inside and out. I am also currently completing my studies to be a Galen Myotherapist, as chronic soft tissue dysfunction and associated pain is something that many of the dogs I work with experience.

For over 25 years, I’ve helped hundreds of people build peaceful, loving lives with their dogs - lives that make sense to the dog, where they can feel safe and relaxed, and can get everything right. Maybe you are starting with a puppy – the perfect time to get things right - we will set things up for an easy life for both of you. Maybe something’s gone a little off course .. not a problem. Together, step by step, we can transform a nightmare hound into the dog you’ve always dreamt of. These changes can come fast, and be long lasting for both humans and dogs.
