Problem Pet Solutions

Claire is amazing! She helped us with our rescue whippet-staffie who was reactive to other dogs and had zero recall. Thanks to Claire, Twiggy is now totally focussed on us when we are out and comes back when we call. Claire took the time to really get to know us and Twiggy, and she tailored all her advice to us. We walked Twiggy together on her initial visit and then had loads of follow up calls which were all super useful. The service Claire offers is incredible value for money and we couldn't recommend her enough. We have tried other trainers in the past but Claire is by far the best!

Claire was brilliant at sharing some basic training techniques to help me and my family deal with our new,very reactive puppy. Very reliable and provides a lot of useful information, links, videos and written information. At the end of our 3 month sessions, our puppy is much calmer, responds to commands and gets on better with our other dogs. Also we have learnt how to identify triggers and pre empt a more positive reaction. Thank you Claire.

Our 20 month old rescue dog had been bred for breeding and lived with other dogs in the country. As a follower he went outside with the other dogs, so when he joined our family he was confused and incontinent in our home. We tried various dog trainers until our vet recommended a a registered dog behaviourist. Claire spent two full hours with us. She made a sound assessment of Jamie, befriending him before instructing him on the use of a bell to go outside. We were trained too! So as a family we worked hard to help Jamie settle into our home and with Claire’s help is now continent and a happy part of our family. Claire has followed up each month to check on progress and to help with other behavioural problems associated with his young life. Claire was an excellent listener, asking helpful questions and ever ready to explain canine behaviour to support her interactions and recommendations. Her written report has been a helpful guide as well. We strongly recommend Claire as an excellent animal behaviourist and although at the mid to high level of fees, the money spent has been a really good investment. We know we can return to Claire at any time should we need more advice.

We were referred to Claire by our vet as our dog has extreme fear of the vet and he had to go under anaesthesia for even nail clipping. Claire visited is for a two hour visit, walked with is to our regular routes, interacted with him to get to know him. Then we received a plan. We started with small visits to the vet, all positive affirmation based. Then we started practising the table at home, slowly desensitising him to situations that can happen when going to the vet. We also worked at Totoro's reactive behaviour with other dogs. We followed Claire's instructions and she called us every week to check on the progress and we discussed the weekly videos we took at practice situations and shaped the plan according to Totoro's needs. After three month he now pulls into the vet's. He sniffs around, making friends, offering paws for treats. He goes into the examination room with no issues. Still has some fear of the table but can be but on when treat is on the top :) He even followed his vet around, giving laws to him and let him pat him. He plays with dogs now, now every dog but off leas he enjoys company. He does not yepp on every dog who passes by and often does not even bark back if another dog starts barking at him. We are grateful for Claire's guidance and support and it is heartwarming to see that our dog's personality evolved. Thank you Claire! I highly recommend Problem Pet Solution. P.s: insurance may cover this, did for us as Claire is qualified up to the highest standards.

Since meeting Claire back in January, and following her advice and guidance our Staffie, has come on leaps and bounds with his separation anxiety. We are now able to leave him whilst we go to a show or an event and he doesn’t cry for the whole duration and he’s quite happy to be with those he loves. Many thanks Claire. We are very grateful and will let you know of his progress. We would highly recommend Claire to anyone with pet issues. She’s fab!
