I can honestly say that Judy has changed our world together. My two year old Labrador and I were struggling together as I had total misconceptions of what was the best life for my dog. After just a few chats with Judy and really …More

Judy has fantastic knowledge to impart. After one online session, her wisdom of dog psychology had given us tools that transformed our dogs behaviour in one evening. I was absolutely blown away at the difference after such a short amount of time ! Thanks Judy !

Judy has been brilliant, we have worked on Zoom together and she has been so clear about the steps to go through with our dog Hector. His behaviour is much better, we have made changes that we thought were not possible

We have only had two sessions with our pup and the change has been dramatic. Judy is really teaching us and the pup is definitely learning too! Looking forward to the next sessions.

Judy was recommended to us by a friend and the sessions have been genuinely life changing.  We had a different trainer before but were unhappy with the idea that puppies are hard and you essentially have to just allow them to grow out of …

I think Julie "the devon ladie" does an amazing job, explaining how your dog thinks and acts. I found it very interesting and helpful. I would recommend to anyone needing help with their beloved dog to try her service. Lovely lady

Judy is an excellent, professional and straight-forward trainer and just what we needed for our new puppy. Within 24 hours of the first training session our pup was much more relaxed, meandering around & having a lovely time. A transformation, and Judy comes highly recommended.

We came with our 2 year old dog to Judy for training, as we were unable to walk her near other dogs. We had worked with several trainers already across a spectrum of disciplines with minimal improvement. …More

Judy is exceptional. I came to her for a dog behaviour training session after our Jack Russell started to take over the household with her dominant tendencies. I adopted her and she had not been socialised to other dogs - and she was 10 …More

First of all Judy is the most wonderful person. She is gentle and calm and puts you completely at ease. However, when the training starts she knows just how to show leadership of the dog. Judy is consistent in her messages. She is kind …More

I am so happy I met Judy. And Tinker Bell - she stayed with Judy earlier this year for the first time and loved it. I am glad I listened to Judy about the right food and since Tinker Bell moved onto raw food she lost on weight; there are no …More

We've taken our dog to Judy's many times. She's always been very well looked after and seems genuinely happy to go there. What's great is that visiting dogs are treated as part of the family - this is NOT a kennel! They have walks in the …More

We have only visited Judy once so far but she has already made a huge difference to our interactions with our Retriever puppy. Looking forward to the next visit! Very professional and made the session pleasurable.

Fantastic results in just a couple of weeks. Judy helped us to ‘be more dog’ and less human with our dog Gizzy. Understanding what dogs need (and not what we humans think they want and need) is the hard part but it makes perfect sense.

Our Incredible results in under 2 weeks!
We adopted a ex racing greyhound who had not been walked on a lead before and was nervous getting in and out of the car, often freezing when unsure. Judy’s technique showed us how to provide calm assertive behaviour whilst showing our dog the correct way. We now have a calm and happy dog who follows our lead. Amazing results in such a short time. Judy really knows how dogs think and through her way of training allows them to be happy, independent and confident.

Lynn F  (April 2021)
Judy is a miracle worker. Her calm, friendly and patient approach to working with us and our dog thinks has not only helped us overcome a number of issues, but also given us the reassurance we needed to make changes for a happier and more content relationship. I would recommend her services to anyone with a dog of any age. Thank you Judy!
Katie F  (April 2021)

We have had one session with Judi and already noticing a difference with our pup. Judi involves the whole family , so in my case , myself and 4 daughters ranging from 25-5 and even the little one is confident now in speaking 'dog' to Thor. Can't wait to see where our next session takes us.

*We have now had 3 sessions and Thor has gone from a jumpy biting pup to a calm pup, walking him is now a joy . Still can't get over the difference in him and highly recommend Judi.

Judy is an excellent, professional and straightforward trainer and just what we needed for our new puppy. Within 24 hours of the first training session our pup was much more relaxed, meandering around and having a lovely time. A transformation and Judy comes highly recommended.
Tess, Ashburton on Pip  (November 2020)

Judy quickly understood us and our puppy, she was empathetic, insightful and expert in her insights into ours and Floki's needs. Judy helped us to 'think dog' and be the pack leaders Floki deserves. We will always be grateful for the warmth and encouragement Judy showed. We would highly recommend her to anyone in need of training or thinking of getting a dog.
​Sarah, Devon on Floki (Oct 2020)

When Tiber came to us he was a nervous, frightened dog. Judy helped him overcome his fear and mistrust of people. By incorporating Judy's methods - calm, gentle, reassuring, but firm - he slowly transformed.
​Anna, Broadhempston, on Tiber (Jan 2019, client since 2017)

Everything is much calmer now that we understand each other better. ​It's about learning to be with your dog the way dogs are.
Simon, Buckfastleigh, on Millie (Sept 2018, client since 2015)
