Case Studies

Del has worked wonders with Alfie.

She showed me where I was going wrong, and I had no idea that it was me who was sending all the wrong signals.

Alfie was such a nuisance as he jumped up and scratched anyone who called in.

Now he’s a good boy and sits down quietly.

She taught me how to go through the door without him pulling my arms off and then took him for a week holiday and worked with him so he would stay by my side instead of getting in front of me all the time.

He’s very strong, and I’ve had a knee operation, so I needed him to be good on walks.

I’m so pleased, and Del’s a brilliant teacher. Fantastic.

Thank you Del.

I’ve been struggling with Rwbi for a while. Walking her has been the biggest issue as she’s so absorbed with sniffing, that she pulls me along the pavement, and my hips are not in the best condition. By accident, my husband was out with Rwbi at the park and noticed Delina training her dog. So he went over and asked if she could help us out.

We had already seen another trainer, but that hadn’t worked out. Delina came over and spent some time at our home explaining a few things and showed us how to walk Rwbi correctly.

I realised that once was not enough and there were other issues that needed addressing. Delina helped us to understand that it wasn’t just about the walk, but it was also her behaviour inside the house and getting out of the house for a walk.

There’s so much more to it than we realised, and so with her help we are slowly getting to the bottom of these problems. Rwbi seems to be responding well. She’s listening, and I have been shown that to gain respect from Rwbi, I have to mean what I say and follow through. Every time.

So thanks Delina, a chance meeting has turned out to be a great decision.

Having lost my beloved lad x rotty dog Rose very suddenly at the age of ten, and saying I wasn’t going to look for another one…. but if one found me, then I would consider it. Bonnie found us. Del is the wife of my farrier Bob. Bonnie was sent to Del for training as she was being rather defiant and not responding to her elderly owners.

Del had her for nearly three weeks and during that time Her owners decided to part ways with her as they couldn’t cope with her energy and strength. Del worked her magic and Bonnie is a reformed character and so well behaved. I take her running with me 2 or 3 times a week and she’s just by my side, no running off or chasing pheasants any more. No pulling on the lead, and she’ll sit and stay where I tell her when I’m moving the horses.

In fact, because she is so good I’m thinking of doing some research regarding her becoming a hospital support dog.

Del had Lenny for a few days and had her husband drive up and down the road with a trailer full of scrap metal.

Plus, she got him in a slip lead.

It’s made a massive difference.

Now he’s concentrating on me instead of what’s going on around him
