    Why People Believe In Us

    “Nigel taught us how to help our Miniature Schnauzer Dilly who was very fearful in the park and in our local pub. After some time implementing his methods we saw the real progress she was making. Nigel’s technique is unique and was the only method that had any results for us. Now we can go anywhere with Dilly and she is totally relaxed.”
    Yvonne Taylor
    “Our dog Bugsy’s main issues was barking at the front door, passers by and attacking the letters (mostly my expensive magazine subscriptions) that dared to enter our home. Nigel helped me develop boundaries and communicate my role around this space demonstrating to Bugsy that I had control of the situation.”
    Rikki and Tori Glover
    “Nigel’s challenge is to help my rescue Labrador overcome his fear of unfamiliar dogs.  He has educated me on communication techniques (with refresher sessions) and has worked with my dog whilst I was away.  The significant improvement in my dog’s behaviour evidences Nigel’s excellent skills.” 
    Robert Neil
    “My overriding impression of Nigel was his gentleness, patience and strong, but quiet presence with Abi my German Shepherd. The little rascal didn’t want to willingly concede her lofty position as ‘leader’, but as the week progressed, Abi became calmer, less demanding and finally was demonstrating good manners both in and out of the house.”

    The Dog Guardian Book (available in paperback and ebook format) is packed full of practical advice, step-by-step instructions and case studies. All this will set you on the road to becoming the guardian of a happy and well behaved dog.
