"We sought Lesley's help due to the challenges faced by Frank, our Saluki. Frank was terrified of everything when we first got him, including going on walks, strangers coming into the house and other dogs. Lesley helped us to break all of these problems down and come up with training solutions to help Frank build up his confidence. We saw improvements almost straight away, but she had a long-term plan to keep improving on each area. We have seen a huge improvement in Frank which has been of great benefit to us all and we look forward to continuing to work with Lesley in the future."

Anna and Frank, County. Dublin.
