Testimonials
Sam is a four year old multi pedigree rescue dog who was adopted after spending a year in
kennels. He had obviously been abused and as a result suffered from nervous aggression
which of course put off potential adopters. Once in his new home he bonded with the family
but displayed aggression to visitors and to people approaching the family when outside the
home. Having tried a number of ‘experts’ (who suggested almost permanent muzzling and
the use of drugs) with no success, Sam’s owners decided to try ‘Amichien’.
We have had two sets of visitors since Friday and the techniques you showed us worked
really well each time. It probably took longer than when we did it with you but we got there in
the end with no nasty surprises. Sam seems very contented and on a walk over the weekend
he even ignored a runner (usually his pet hate).

Harry has problems travelling by car causing extreme distress, pacing,
barking and screaming throughout the journey. This is bad news for
Harry as he is dropped at his owners mothers house every morning
for daycare. This involves a journey of at least 20 minutes in heavy traffic
twice a day.
Thought I'd just drop you a line to say that Harry on the return trip from Mum's to our house
didn't make a noise or walk round in circles two days in a row. He did a little bit on the journey
in but not much compared to what he has done, and today even though I was 30 mins late
(the alarm clock didn't go off) he didn't utter a word!
Dunc's converted, oh ye of little faith! Ha, we showed him, he's been telling everyone what a
change there has been in Harry! I have also signed your petition.
You're magic you are!

Time after time after consultations the words contented, relaxed, happy and stress-free
are used to describe the change in their dogs. In almost every case the same words
could be used about the owners.

Woody is an eleven month, white German Shepherd Dog, a really exuberant character. I was
contacted because at home Woody ‘did his own thing’ when called by his owners his
reaction was when I’m ready, he ruled the roost. He was not aggressive but got his own way
by only hearing instructions he wanted to hear. He also pulled on the lead when out walking.
During the consultation all issues were addressed and an action plan put in place, the
owners were told that the pulling would take a while to stop permanently and they are
following the system and making progress. They wrote,
Just thought I would drop you a quick line to update you on Woody’s progress. We have tried
to follow your instructions and we have seen a huge improvement in him at home-he just
seems like a much happier dog. It didn’t take that long, we started to see an improvement in
a couple of weeks.

Zak is a ten year old Patterdale Terrier. He is a rescue dog with unknown history. I was
consulted primarily to deal with his severe separation anxiety and constant barking which
was causing problems with neighbours.
We’ve had a wonderful weekend. Zak is a different dog. He is 300% better. Are you sure you
didn't swap him when I wasn’t looking? Everything is much more relaxed, we can begin to
enjoy ourselves and I’m looking forward to the good weather.

Kylie is a Husky who on moving to her new home and family found it very difficult to live along
side the resident cats and chickens as well as having problems sleeping and recalling on
the walk. As always, following the consultation, a full Action Plan was prepared and the
clients were prepared.
Thought we would update you on the progress Kylie has made since you visited us in
September. Our main concerns were Kylie and the cats; Kylie and our chickens; Kylie
sleeping at night and not howling for the duration.
Kylie has now accepted the cats as senior members of her pack
(the picture is not posed but just where they were when I came
through). This seems to have been achieved by treating the cats
as the senior members including feeding them before her and
adressing the cats first when we come home and the 4 elements.
We allow Kylie out in the garden with the chickens loose and so far so good. We do not do
this for long periods but when the chickens are in their run Kylie generally completely ignores
them.
Overall your visit has been hugely successful with a more controllable and happy Kylie; thank
you. We still have some work on recall although we have had some off the lead success and
continue to progress with the basic commmands.
