 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Jules because my Shih Tzu was displaying reactive behaviour. I’d consulted two other trainers but I felt like they hadn’t addressed the problem in the right way. As soon as Jules came in she identified that fear was behind the reactivity and explained it was about changing his mindset. She got us straight on the right track to dealing with the issue. I like how she uses positive reinforcement at all times. I now feel more confident when we are out walking and when visitors come to the house. Jules explained that improving reactivity is a long journey, but I can already see we are on the right road. Jules is friendly, informative and personable and always on hand to answer questions and help with anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had 3 intensive sessions with Jules from LEADing the Way with JFJ and they've been hugely helpful. My dog is 4 so had picked up some habits & anxieties around larger dogs. Walks were starting to be really difficult as he was reactive towards dogs that came up to him.  Jules explained everything very simply, taught us some manageable tools to build into our routine & I started to see change after just 1 session. She's helped my dog to calm & respond to my instruction, helped build my confidence to support my dog when in a tricky situation and shared a very detailed report after each visit so I can easoly refer back if I need. I would.have no hesitation in recommending & wish i had done this 1:1 training when he was much younger. Thanks so much Jules ????

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jules is brilliant, and really helped us get prepared for the arrival of our first baby - talking us through and demonstrating useful techniques to make sure our beautiful golden retriever would feel the least disruption possible. Would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jules came recommended to us and has been a huge impact on our training and household. We started with a few 2 hour sessions and trusted her with our puppy while we were away. We got back a greatly trained puppy. She’s patient and helped us with many areas. Lots of pictures, videos and updates while we were away. Couldn’t recommend more

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Jules, desperate for help with my parents very reactive cockapoo that I was looking after. She asked questions to quickly understand what the issues were and how she could help. She explained things is detail, with patience and by showing us what to do and not do. Everything she said made sense and has helped so much. Her analogies to help with understanding, are second to none.

There’s no overnight cure to reactivity, but there was a drastic change immediately. Something other dog trainers have failed to help us with and so we didn’t expect this. Our boy is more confident, can now see a dog from a distance without reacting, something he was not able to do before. The techniques Jules taught us have been so helpful and easy to implement. Walking him is now so much easier and less stressful and we’re all truly grateful for this. Jules explained the importance of consistency and the need for everyone to be on board, so I arranged a follow up session with my parents and they also found it very helpful, and have seen massive improvements is his behaviour and reactivity.

The follow up emails and words of encouragement were also super helpful. We will definitely be following up with Jules to help us on our journey, as she has made a real positive difference within just one session.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julie was excellent working with my dog and most of all me. She reassured me throughout the training session and gave me so many wonderful ideas to use with my dog. Within a day of working with Julie I felt much happier and more confident in how I was training my dog
I couldn't recommend Julie enough for her excellent knowledge and support.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jules literally transformed our dog and what we loved the most is her style of training. It was positive reinforcement and everything was about being positive rather than punishment. I can’t thank her enough because of how much it helped us

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, made a lot of difference to my dog and the way I approach training/looking after him. Jules is kind, professional and knowledgeable. She's certainly to be trusted in such delicate matters. I still follow her advice and it works very well! I found Jules via her previous customer (mutual friend) and wasn't disappointed. Thanks a lot, Jules! Highly recommended!
