“We are beyond happy with our experience!”
From day 1, Eleanor has been supportive, friendly, and really knows her stuff. Our bulldog Missy has come such a long way — as have we as owners! We were struggling with socialisation, listening, and helping her stay calm around our kids and visitors. Thanks to Eleanor, Missy is now much more relaxed and responsive, and we feel way more confident as owners.
What we love most is how Eleanor took the time to really get to know us and Missy. Nothing felt rushed or “one size fits all”. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs and the families she works with!
“Eleanor was amazing!”
“We used to have a dog who was triggered by having his fur grabbed, so we constantly told our little grandson not to touch Bobby for fear of being bitten. Sadly, our grandson was frightened of Bobby, who doesn't have a mean bone in his body.
Eleanor had our grandson throwing treats and toys, gradually working up to hand-feeding treats. Now they run and play together!”
