Bec & Mischa
I first met Jane when I was referred to her by Steve Courtney from K9 Force in NSW. At the time I had a male husky who, after being attacked numerous times,
had developed fear aggression towards other dogs.
It had gotten to a point that he would lunge at any dog that walked by us and if given the opportunity would grab another dog by the scruff of the neck and shake it.
Although he is actually quite calm for a husky, loves people and is well behaved at home, if another dog was in his sight I struggled to get his focus back and to
control his lunging and pulling from the other end of the leash.
I thought it would take many sessions with Jane to train Micha's aggression to a managable level, but after meeting Jane for a one on one session,
she tailored a training program that was so easy to implement that we didn't need another session.
Over the next few months Jane gave me plenty of support via email and Micha came along in leaps and bounds. I was even able to take Micha to obedience club and get
him to sit/stay metres away from a strange dog, 100% focus on me!
But Jane's support and assistance went beyond helping me with Micha's aggression. I also have a beagle who has proven to be the most difficult dog I have ever
owned - Jane has always been on hand to help me with Daisy, from a quick question to essay length emails where I was almost in tears over how
stubborn and difficult the "evil beagle" was!
It has been two years since I first met Jane and not only do I have a dog aggressive dog that has made huge progress but a beagle who would be no where near as
obedient as she is now if it was for Jane's continuous help and advice.
I cannot thank Jane enough!

Deb & Monah
The following excerpt is from Deb, who's dog Monah was very fearful not only of other dogs and people but sudden noises or movement.
The flutter of a leaf would trigger her into fearful flight, with tail clamped tightly between her legs she would run around nervously barking.
I have a female desexed purebred dog that I bought at 13 weeks of age. She was quite fearful and nervous especially around other dogs and children and even strangers.
We spent many, many hours socialising and training her and did have some success. However, when we got another puppy at the time our first dog was a year old,
she was aggressive toward the pup and very unreliable.
After a little while I realised I needed professional help as soon as possible and I found Jane through an acquaintance.
We set up a consultation and took our dog with us.
Jane had our dog worked out very quickly and spent much more time with us than originally booked. She was very pleasant to talk to and also understanding and
gave us confidence and hope that we could alleviate most of our problems with some hard work.
Jane emailed a special program to follow and I followed it completely. The changes in our dog occurred within a few days.
She was much more consistent in her behaviour, and recognised us as being in charge so there was no need for her to be nervous or fearful.
Jane emailed regularly with updates to the program and advice and prevented me from feeling like giving up.
Now, after 2 years, my dog is just a wonderful, clever, loving part of the family and we adore her. I still keep the program available in case we ever slide backwards, and Jane and I are still in contact. This is a person who genuinely cares about the outcome of her programs and takes a huge amount of interest in every situation.
I had tried many dog trainers and different training methods, but it was a behavourist I needed and we have never looked back.
Thank you Jane!!!
