Wenlock joined our family two weeks ago and although he is gorgeous he is something of a handful; we were feeling a little nervous about what we had got ourselves in for! I found Louise through the Madrid Pet Lovers page and am so glad I did!

We had our first session last night via Zoom and Louise was brilliant. So friendly and warm and so knowledgeable. We really trusted all of her recommendations and everything is clearly based in science, which made us feel comfortable.

As well as making suggestions based on her knowledge, Louise also recognises that each dog is unique, so we tried a few different exercises with Wenlock to see which worked best. We’ve got some homework to do with him and are looking forward to our training and play sessions this week. We are working on stopping the puppy biting (Louise recommended redirection and scent work), manners (making sure he is always sitting before he gets treats etc.) and “drop” when we’re playing with toys. We’ll also be focusing on feeding him without his dog bowl to get his little brain working and tire him out that way rather than just physically.

Both my boyfriend and I are feeling much more confident about training him – we just want to do the right thing by him! Already excited for our next session, as is Wenlock (especially if it involves chicken…)
