"We got Petrol when he was 1. Advertised as a ‘gun dog in training’ we v quickly realised he had been incredibly mistreated; physically punished for not being ‘good enough’. While a house of love and some training classes had made a difference, he was still locked inside his own lack of confidence.
From the v thorough initial assessment with Cecilia, we just knew she was different- a behaviourist who understood the psychological trauma Petrol had been through and how to help.
The pivotal session with Cecilia that changed Petrols life was encouraging him to take his front paws off the ground- something previously punished. It took the whole hour for him to have the confidence to do it but he did it… Cecilia just knew he could and showed me that patience is key. I was so proud of him!!
Since that session, under Cecilia’s patience and expertise he has flourished. She has helped ‘undo’ the drilled in compulsions he had experienced and shown him how to have a life full of joy.
I can’t recommend Cecilia highly enough for her depth of knowledge, understanding and patience her work brings. We have a happy, confident dog and working with her has made us better owners."

"Ce is brilliant and we would recommend without hesitation. The second to none training is tailored to you and your dog, rather than a cookie cutter, one size fits all approach. The foundations that Ce taught us have made for a wonderful, happy and well behaved dog. There are many dog trainers, but when you meet Ce, and see the wonderful relationship she has with her beloved Honey, you know you are in good hands and have made absolutely the right choice!"
"Well what can I say … We started working with Cecilia when Ramsey, our Dobermann puppy was 4 months old. As soon as I met Cecilia and saw how well Ramsey picked up on what he should and shouldn’t be doing, I knew I had found the right person to help us to live a happy and easy life with our new addition. Cecilia was always super professional and always tried to accommodate everything I was hoping to achieve. Cecilia has been there for us every step of the way, whether it was on the days we had booked in for training together or a desperate plea for help and guidance in a message on Facebook or just general questions and information about Ramsey and his health. I cannot rate the service we received or the outcome we managed to achieve highly enough! Both Ramsey and I have learnt so much from Cecilia and I honestly don’t think we would be where we are today without her! She truly is fantastic! I would definitely recommend Cecilia to anyone who is having any behavioural problems with their dog and most certainly will be booking in with her again should any future issues occur! Lastly … thank you so much Cecilia! You really have helped us so so SO much. I don’t know how we would of coped if we hadn’t of booked in with you a year ago. You have made our lives and most importantly Ramsey’s life so much better and happier. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything 😊"
"We started working with Ce to build and progress Cooper’s gundog training and skills.
Ce has done wonders for Cooper. We saw huge progress even from the very first session. Ce approaches gundog training in her own way, but understands the emotional state of the dog and so can tweak and adjust her methods accordingly. She’s very perceptive of him.
There really is no judgement from her towards us and the inevitable mistakes we have made with his training, which is such a breath of fresh air from a dog trainer."

"We contacted Cecilia as our 4 year old Romanian rescue dog's reactivity and bad household manners was driving us nuts. I'm so glad we did. Cecilia is so knowledgeable, not only did she give us the tools we needed to deal with our dog's issues, she helped us understand why he was behaving the way he was. She helped us build our dog's confidence and her encouragement also helped our confidence as first time dog owners. I would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone struggling with dog training."
"From the moment you meet Cecilia, it's obvious and apparent that she has a huge amount of love and empathy for dogs.
Her whole reason for being seems to be to give them the best life possible and to really develop the relationship between dogs and their owners and she's fantastic at this.
She spends as much time training the owner as she does the pup and has really helped develop the trust between me and my dog. Don't get me wrong, Darcy is still a rebellious adolescent, but at least now I know why she's behaving the way she does, and how to handle it!
I owe a huge thanks to Cecelia. There's been a marked change in Darcy's behaviour, and she's given me the confidence to trust Darcy and enjoy our walks together. She’s helped get the groundwork there and now it’s up and me and Darcy to keep practising!"

"We first came across Cecilia training her own dog at Ashridge Common and sat mesmerised at her dogs response to her commands. We got chatting and told her about our rescue dog, Kobi. We got our dog at the age of two with little background history. However it was clear that she had never been socialised with other dogs or even taught how to play ball. Cecilia listened to our concerns and after a brief conversation we decided to book some sessions. Although Kobi was well behaved in many ways, she was wanting to dominate practically any dog she met. Not aggressive, just inappropriate play as Cecilia put it. After a couple of lessons, Cecilia had taught us to read Kobi's body language and confidently give orders. She soon worked out that we needed as much training as our dog! A few lessons later and we now have a lovable, happy dog who enjoys playing with others on her daily walks - and off lead!!! This has obviously made us relaxed when walking, without fears of any more inappropriate behaviour.
Without her help and tuition, we would undoubtedly still be walking Kobi on the lead and avoiding other dogs. I cannot recommend her enough. Not only is she highly skilled at what she does, she is also an extremely amiable person who we bonded with straight away. We are looking forward to meeting up with her and her dog socially.
Thank you Cecilia!!!"
