Jilly Edmondson



"When we got Jilly from rescue she turned our lives upside down. She nipped three visitors in the first three weeks! Claire’s intervention was practical, down to earth; she helped us adapt our lifestyle and understand the signals that we had been giving Jilly. Claire is very approachable and has been very supportive.

Whilst Jilly will always be somewhat unpredictable she is without question 1000times better behaved and we now know how to manage her behaviour and stay one step a head!" Su Edmondson.

Brambles and Fido

"Brambles is a highly strung, excitable lurcher who was a bit of a loveable handful.

Claire was great in assessing the whole situation, what Brambles had been through prior to us adopting him, how he was adapting to his new life within our family, what motivated him to behave and misbehave, Claire even looked into his diet and how this may affect his behaviour and energy levels.

Claire is very calm, understanding of not just the dog but their owners and gently teaches us as owners how to react towards our dogs in a gentle, calm, way that allows us to understand why the dog behaves as it does and then for us as owners to react appropriately towards them to break the cycle of negative behaviour and create a strong bond of mutual understanding.

Claire gives you clear easy to understand and apply techniques that work because they are simple and effective. And she’s always there for you if you have any queries and to come back to with any questions.

We now have a lovely lively lurcher rather than a totally loopy out of control one!" Corinne Barke

Freddie Dorricott

"Claire gave me the tools to manage Freddie’s behaviour. She was able to describe the underlying problems that I had had with Freddie which had culminated in his biting me. She gave me clear, practical instructions. Claire showed me how to have things on my terms and put boundaries in place and Freddie is calmer and happier.

Knowing what to do has given me the confidence to manage Freddie’s behaviour. We now have a much better relationship. I am now able to fully enjoy him" Sybil Dorricott.

Claude Neilson

"Shortly after I left him (well cared for) to go on a week’s holiday, Claude began to over-groom resulting in a very bald tail on a very fluffy cat. He also managed to eat holes in two cashmere jumpers! Claire’s approach was straightforward and practical and between us we managed to sort out Claude’s behaviour and help him have less reliance on me. I now have a lovely affectionate confident cat with a tail that looks like it belongs to him" Julie Neilson.

Holly Challoner

"Holly has improved far quicker than I thought that she would in such a short space of time" Simon Challoner.
