Doglover

I was in despair after getting my rescue dog Oscar from the Dog's Trust. Two dog trainers told me that they couldn't help with his fear aggression, unruly behaviour and many issues..........then I found Lez Graham. After a couple of "one on ones" Lez was quite rightly apprehensive about including Oscar into her training classes - he would go for any other dog's jugular! But she thought though borderline we could have a go. We attended her classes where we were all given weekly tasks to work on with our dogs, backed up with explicit paperwork which included masses of useful information. Every week we returned and Oscar improved amazingly quickly - I put the work in as directed, you could see which owners hadn't bothered as there was no change in their dogs! I learnt so much and I now have a dog who can be taken into any situation, is social and very chilled - a delight and adored pet. It had become so difficult with him that I had started to look at other dogs and was planning to return him to the Dog's Trust - so glad I didn't and persevered. Recently I have got a puppy for the first time and found Lez's book on puppy training (including a DVD) indispensable. I cannot thank her enough for her thorough and individual directions. I now have two chilled, happy, social dogs and the puppy has given my older dog a new youthfulness in his stride as they play happily together. I cannot recommend Lez Graham highly enough - she is thorough, caring and being a dog behaviourist as well as trainer has an incredible understanding of dogs.
