Reviews & Testimonials For Sharon Chapman

Very pleased with initial three hour session. Sharon answered many of our questions and gave us lots of valuable advice and guidance for dealing with a boisterous puppy. Sharon helped us to understand some of the mistakes we had already made (puppy pads, retractable leads, etc) and gave us some guidance on how to better deal with these issues. The use of proper training leads for recall and close walking are proving invaluable - unfortunately the current weather conditions have limited the recall training but initial results are proving positive.

Sharon has made a noticeable difference with Rosie from the first session. Rosies problems are mainly towards other dogs and her nervous personality. Sharon has given us great advice on the different areas that Rosie needs to improve on and it is working. We understand this will be a long process but Sharon seems like the best person to help.

Excellent advice and after a month or so we have seen a real improvement in Ella She is walking on the lead so much better and jumping up much less and in addition her general responsiveness is markedly better. We also changed her diet after advice from Sharon and her coat and toilet habits are much improved.

Sharon came to us after we had problems with a new rescue dog and one of our other dogs, Sharon was so helpful and reassuring with excellent methods that really made sense. we had lots of questions to ask and she did not rush us at all and spent most of the day with us, we felt a lot more confident when she left and its nice to know she is only at the end of the phone

Thorough, well explained, helpful, respectful

Fantastic. Sharon was very business like and straight to the point. She spent loads of time with us and Murphy and after 3 days we can already see a difference in Murphy in terms of barking and door control. We are enjoying working with Murphy with the training tips that Sharon has suggested and Murphy enjoys it too. We still have a way to go but progress after 3 days is amazing!

After a number of different incidents with other dogs attacking/fighting with Nando, he became quite nervous of strange dogs when on-lead, and would bark and lunge. It was quite upsetting, and because of his large size was probably quite scary for other dog owners, too! Other than his nervousness and jumping up at visitors, I felt I was quite confident at training my own dog so I was quite embarassed to enlist the help of a professional. From the outset Sharon was fantastic with my dog and I needn't have worried about feeling embarassed of Nando's problems. From the moment Sharon entered the house it was clear to see she had a real affinity with dogs, and Nando responded really well to her. Immediately she was able to spot a number of things I was doing which was further re-inforcing his jumping up, and it was light-bulb moment when she explained why Nando continued to jump up. The real results however have been with his reactivity outside of the home. Usually I couldn't have one walk without him reacting to another dog if it got too close whilst he was on the lead. After just a few weeks of using Sharon's techniques, I am finding we can go 9/10 walks without a single reaction, which I'm sure with further practise we can improve on. Sharon also helped with a few different problems such as barking in the car, and getting bored in the house and managed to look at the problems from a new viewpoint which really helped to open my eyes! Overall, I would (and have!!) recommended her to many of my friends with dogs.

Sharon was very helpful in assisting me get to grips with our new puppy. Willow has come on leaps and bounds and we're both getting more confident as we work together . Sharon has really made a difference .

Sharon was really attentive to mine and Willow's needs. From the 3 hours Sharon spent with us as I felt l had learnt a lot and got to understand Willow's behaviour a lot more. After my first session I felt a lot more in control of Willow and now can look forward to the future and Willows progress.

Sharon was very knowledgeable about the behavioural problems which Eddie has and which training techniques to use. The training techniques are straight forward to follow and dog friendly which I wanted. I was also very impressed that Eddie was responding to the training straight away. Thanks Sharon

A very constructive lesson. Sharon put us at ease straight away. She gave some insure into Hattie's behaviour and how it can be managed and modified. We are seeing some early results and hope to progress. Knowing that Sharon is there when ever we need input is very reassuring.

Didn't know what to expect had no experience of trainers before. Felt at ease with Sharon straight away. She explained everything in a simple way so I could understand what she was doing with Smudge. He responded to Sharon brilliantly, she made him feel relaxed as well. Hope to continue training in 2 weeks looking forward to it.
