I first met Antonia for an online consultation, and we discussed Lula’s reactivity and the worries I had about her interactions with other dogs. Antonia’s advice was very clear and her follow up report explained in detail the exercises we needed to put in place before our first meeting.
When Antonia met Lula, it was so interesting to learn about so many nuances to Lula’s body language that I hadn’t seen. Antonia was very professional in understanding Lula’s behaviour and was very useful in providing tips on how to better understand my dog, as well as what to look out for in other dogs when they were interacting.
I really valued Antonia’s advice and now I’m more confident and much less stressed about managing Lula’s behaviour. Thank you!
We have a 2 year old border terrier called Rudy who gets a bit too excited/anxious around other dogs and has some reactivity towards some of them, but since we have started working with Antonia she has helped us massively! She is so great with Rudy, shows no judgement (which we have had in the past from others) and just wants the best for you and your dog – she gets it! I cannot recommend Antonia enough and we look forward to continuing our training with her!
My dog Ophelia has been struggling with anxiety and reactivity since we moved to the UK from Canada. Starting in our first meeting, Antonia set us up with the building blocks we needed both inside and outside of the house to help build Ophelia’s confidence.
From the first session, Antonia was so incredibly caring, thoughtful and responsive to all questions and concerns. She is truly a one-of-a-kind trainer and builds such a loving bond with your dog, which I am very grateful for! Her expertise and endless support has been crucial to Ophelia’s success and she has improved drastically over the year we have worked with Antonia! She even helped us pick out treats that Ophelia will eat outside (this was a big challenge for us!).
Since, we have met Antonia, we have been able to maintain Ophelia’s anxiety and her trigger threshold by changing our habits and building her confidence inside and outside. Thank you Antonia for all your support!
I rescued a dog from Romania via the Pack Project in December and prior to Emmy even arriving had my first session with Antonia to prepare. Since, there have been multiple Skype and in person (now Emmy is ready) sessions as well as unwavering support over text. Without Antonia’s help I wouldn’t have been able to get through the first few weeks and since, she has helped me ensure Emmy settles into her London life. We are now learning things like recall etc. She is kind, great at her job and I couldn’t recommend her more! I joke but I think Antonia is the best therapist for me I’ve ever hired! 
Antonia has been a great help in the early stages with our Cavapoochon puppy and has also been amazing with our Assistance Dog training. After the very first session, Alfie could comfort my daughter when she was struggling with her emotions. Antonia always has very practical and simple advice. Alfie absolutely loves her! When she leaves, he always cries at the door for ages. We’d highly recommend her!
A friend recommended Antonia to us. We have a 2 year old English Cocker Spaniel who is the most amazing dog and we needed the training to make his life easier. He also had some possessive ball issues, with recall and lead walking not great either.
Antonia arranged a video call and then an in person session. The video call was amazing as it allowed us to work on some easy training which was then used during our in person training.
I just can’t believe how much as been achieved within such a short time and Charlie is clearly so much happier as he knows exactly what is required and not confused between us trying loads of different techniques.
Antonia is a gifted trainer who understands how to communicate with us as much as Charlie to get the best results.
We just can’t wait for our next session and the ability to do online or in person with the same results is a huge plus!
Our puppy Atlas is anxious and highly reactive to other dogs, making our walks uncomfortable. Antonia was a breath of fresh air from our very first session.
She built a bond with Atlas very quickly, took time to consult with us and help us understand some of the root causes of his reactivity, and clearly explained the options ahead. She made us feel at ease instantly.
Though we have a journey ahead of us, she is the second trainer that we’ve worked with and we’re confident that she will be our last. Her passion for dogs and caring nature has not only left us feeling highly confident in her abilities, but also means that every session is fun and engaging, and I think Atlas has fallen in love!
Antonia was recommended to us by one of my friends Jack and our amazing dog walker/sitter Becky at Colliers Woof. Antonia has helped us with our dogs separation anxiety by giving us a practical plan in steps that are easy to follow and are achievable. She has also helped us with his reactivity/fear when meeting new people. I have seen a big positive difference in our dog, he’s happier which in turn means we’re happier. Bravo!
Antonia has been brilliant helping me with the first stages of training for our black Labrador puppy and I am so impressed with how quickly she gets Zeyla to interact with her and pay attention. Antonia is so clear with her guidance and explains so clearly the steps to take with each session. Being a typical greedy Labrador, and knowing she will be rewarded for good behaviour, Zeyla is getting to grips with her re-call and loose lead walking quite quickly. I look forward to continuing to work with Antonia and with the homework I put in having a very well-trained Labrador! All thanks to Antonia and her advice.
Couldn’t recommend Antonia more. We’ve found her puppy training classes really useful! She’s also helped us learn how best for my puppy and family dog to interact as they didn’t get on the best (overly excited puppy and grumpy adult). She always explains why different commands are necessary and has given us an understanding and insight into our dog’s body language. The dogs coexist great together now (they’re even nap buddies!) and we know what to look for to make sure they’re both happy around each other!
