"When I first contacted Jo our German Shepherd X was very 'reactive' around other dogs, cyclists, runners, walkers, moving vehicles etc. She would bark and lunge and could be very hard to cope with, meaning my confidence with walking her was practically non-existent. The help and total support I've received from Jo has been invaluable. She has, with great kindness and patience, taught me all sorts of coping strategies and skills, and so, along with Sheikra's, my confidence has grown and grown. Our walks have improved immeasurably and the bond I have with Sheikra is now so much stronger. I'm very grateful to Jo for all her help, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
Thanks for everything Jo! x" Julia & Sheikra |
