Story 1 - Tina

Before I met Darren I was at the end of the road with my Border Collie Bluebell. Although Bluebell had never been taught anything; everything Bluebell did was because of my other Collie Lilly. 

I used to walk them together and I hated every minute of it. If we came across a person or a bike or another dog Lilly would start crawling like it was prey and bark. Bluebell would go crazy and do somersaults while on the lead and act as if she was going to attack it became so hard and embarrassing. It was so hard to walk them both that I got them both out the car at a empty private field and just stood by the car with the ball chucker. I can honestly say I had no relationship or control with my girls.

One day I came across Darren training his own dog and I remember thinking 'Wow if only I could do that'. Darren came to my house and explained where I was going wrong and it just all made sense. The best part is he was able to show me instantly some changes and I was able to see both my girls act and change instantly. 

Darren just makes sense and is able to help you believe in yourself. Darren shows you just how enjoyable it is to change your dogs life. Darren keeps in contact with you all week to make sure you and your dogs are happy and to see how you are doing. Darren never makes you feel like you can't do this and is so supportive. 

I see Darren once a week and to date its been a few months now and the difference is amazing. I do training indoors as wall as outside. I can be proud to say I can now walk my girls without them being reactive. Darren has shown me how to enjoy my girls again and I have their full attention. For the first time ever not only are they training but they can't do it without their tails wagging. I am able to walk both dogs together with leads trailing with one each side of me. If I come across anyone who can't control their dog I am the one now who can control the situation. With the knowledge I have gained I feel confident enough to control my own girls even when another dog is invading my dogs space. To think I was at the point of thinking about rehoming Bluebell.... The thoughts of that are now long gone. I send pictures and videos weekly where I am so proud now.
