I cannot thank Julie enough for the help and support that she has given to us over the past few years. We were recommended to contact Julie from a friend who had used AB for her German Shepard. The in-depth knowledge that Julie has on the dog’s behaviour is just outstanding and I just wanted to absorb it all from her. Julie goes right back to the basics with why dogs do what they do and how we can help them live in our modern world. Once we understood the reasons for why our spaniels reacted to different things we then knew how we had to change our ways to let them live a comfortable life in our world.

Up until I had spoken to Julie, I was very much of the mind-set that to ‘train a dog’ you barked orders at them like sit, stay and with the occasional scream “shut up” when they barked at the doorbell, but Julie showed me a completely different way and it turned out it was us who needed training and not our dogs. On that note; I had heard of other behaviourists/trainers previously who make the owner feel awful, but Julie is absolutely not like this at all. Julie is so kind and understanding of how we are with our boys and she never once judged or criticised is in anyway, she just showed us a different way to be “pack leader” and guided and supported us every step of the way.

The difference in our dogs now, years later is amazing. Whilst they still have their mad cocker spaniel moments, (which I never want to lose) they’re so much calmer, relaxed and happier.

I have recommended Julie and AB to so many friends and clients as I cannot fault her and the process. I always say to people though to stick with it, if it fails it’s because you’re not consistent and you will never stop using the AB method, because if your pups are like ours, they will still try and test your leadership skills within the pack, I would 100% recommend Julie and AB.
