Have walks become stressful or unpredictable because of your dog’s behaviour? Are they barking or lunging at people passing by, chasing cyclists or joggers, or reacting to vehicles?
Behaviour like this isn’t just upsetting — it can put you and your dog at real risk, especially if it escalates or is misunderstood by others.
These situations can quickly lead to restrictions, complaints, or your dog being unfairly labelled as “dangerous”.
You don’t have to wait for things to reach that point.
My Behaviour Support Package is designed to help you understand your dog, recognise when reactions are likely to happen, and take practical steps to prevent them.
Rather than simply managing behaviour, we work on changing how your dog feels in these situations — reducing stress, building confidence, and dramatically lowering the risk of future problems.
Clients regularly tell me they feel calmer, more capable, and more in control on walks — because they finally understand what’s going on and how to handle it.
Julie and Brian contacted me for support with their Cavapoo, Elsie, after she was reported for jumping up at a child on a bike. As a result, Elsie was ordered to be kept on lead and muzzled in public.
“Within a couple of weeks we started to notice so much improvement in Elsie’s behaviour towards bikes, and by the end of the programme there was almost total
success.”
“It is no longer an issue. Elsie is much happier on her walks and whenever we see bikes, and we in turn are much more relaxed. We must thank Jo for all her help,
guidance, and continued support.”

Your journey begins with an in-depth Zoom assessment, where we explore your dog’s history, triggers, daily routines, and your goals.
From there, you’ll receive a personalised training plan, broken down into clear, practical steps that are easy to follow in real life.
This is supported by structured coaching sessions, combining practical skills, real-world application, and ongoing guidance.
You’ll also receive:
● Clear, step-by-step video guidance to support your training between sessions
● Ongoing feedback and support via WhatsApp
● Access to continued learning and progression support to help you refine your skills over time
This approach ensures you’re never left guessing what to do next — and that progress
continues beyond individual sessions.
Reactive and risky behaviour rarely resolves on its own.
The earlier you put the right support in place, the easier it is to prevent escalation and long-term consequences.
Let’s help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more confident — and help you enjoy life together again.

EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Posted on Audrey Anne TarrantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a very stubborn, energetic frenchie and Jo was able to make a difference after just one session. Her calm approach and way of explaining the best way to work with our Hurricane is exactly what we needed i highly recommend Joe for anyone with a stubborn, reactive dog.Posted on Marie CharlesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I reached out to Jo for help with Pimms, my 3yr old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon. Pimms is reactive and I was really struggling with how overstimulated he gets on walks and as big dog, I can't physically deal with him pulling me all over the place and reacting to everything and anything! Jo did a behavioural assessment on him, gave me a training programme and followed up with a practical session. This has helped us a lot with the loose lead walking, recall as well as being more focused and less all over the place when we go out of the house. Jo also holds monthly walks with her reactive dog clients, where we are all able to practice at a safe distance getting closer to each other. These sessions have helped Pimm's so much with better control of his emotions and learning to turn his attention to me when things get a bit too much. We still have a lot of work to do, especially with Pimm's being a very active breed and therefore easily excitable and needs to run around to let his energy out! the WhatsApp group with Jo's other reactive dogs clients is also amazing to be part of to get some advice on different topics and most importantly to be able to share little daily wins with people who understand. I am very thankful for Jo's help and look forward to progressing much further with Pimms with her by our side :)Posted on Alex MunroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fully recommended Jo! We booked onto her level 2 & 3 puppy training to help with our 8 month rescue from Bosnia Luna! Luna had 0 training when she arrived and Jo helped us train her to sit, down, wait & walk all the lead all of which set us up for success with our girl! We now have booked some 1-2-1 with Jo to help work on her recall. Everyone says what a well trained & lovely dog she is and Jo helped us lay the foundations for success!!Posted on Sophie ManceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo’s helped us gain confidence and provided the tools we need to continue to tackle reactivity. If you’re willing to put in the time it’s definitely worth dropping Jo a message.Posted on Richard ChamberlainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo has been amazing for us in helping with our rescue Dotty, not sure how we would have managed without her. Highly recommendedPosted on Nick CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo is very knowledgeable and the puppy training has been really helpful for us and for our Golden retriever puppy Otto. We are looking to book the next set of courses with Jo and would thoroughly recommend training with JC dog behaviour and training.Posted on Russell HoweTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo's puppy training course was very friendly & comprehensive. She's very knowledgeable & helpful, we thoroughly enjoyed the course & would recommend her.Posted on Julie LiepeltTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 2 year old dog, Elsie, was having severe anxiety issues with bikes whenever they were in close proximity. She became very agitated and continully barked and tried to launch towards them in fear. We began using a muzzle as we became concerned for both her and the bikers safety. We made contact with Jo for help and advice and decided to enrol on the reactivity course. Within a couple of weeks we started to notice so much improvement in Elsie’s behaviour towards bikes and by the end of the course there was almost total success. It is no longer an issue. Elsie is much happier on her walks or whenever we see bikes and we in turn are much more relaxed. We must thank Jo for all her help and guidance throughout the course and her continued support.Posted on janina obrienTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jo is lovely and very knowledgeable. She set us up nicely with training our puppy. If we had any issues or another puppy in the future, Jo would be our 1st point of contact!Posted on Georgina ThompsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We attended puppy power training classes and had some additional puppy support at home. I cannot recommend Jo enough. She is calm, patient and adapted to what we needed week on week. We loved the opportunity to train alongside other puppies and their owners.. and to have follow up 1:1 support at home, to iron out any niggles that we came up against. Jo is (of course) amazing with Fergus, but more importantly with me- offering calm advice and helping me to identify normal puppy behaviour and breed behaviour… with clear and achievable advice for us to implement alongside full time work and a busy life. Thank you Jo, I’m sure we’ll see you again! Gina x
