I contacted Sandy at skills for dogs after I had got my fear aggressive Rottweiler, Bella, to the point where she was losing the plot on seeing other dogs. I had been using harsh training methods and had made a scary situation even worse for her.

Sandy was very informative and explained why her force free methods work. Through using classical conditioning Bella is a lot calmer around other dogs, meaning she can enjoy her outings more and so can I!
Thanks Sandy.

Sandy is a very pragmatic, realistic & honest person who is as good a judge of humans as she is of our canine friends.
As a first time dog owner at the ripe old age of 48, I needed advice & help. Sandy to the rescue! This woman is like an interface between the furry ones and the humans – like a dog language translator. She taught me how to read my very anxious scaredy dog, help him to feel safe and to help me to understand his signs and signals. Don’t tell others, but I think Sandy might actually not be a dog trainer at all – she might be a really good human trainer in disguise.
Highly recommend Sandy. Experienced, patient and intuitive.

Sandy is amazing! She helped us through some rough patches with our aussie bulldogs and her support continued well and truly after the lessons were over. Thankyou!

Sandy is professional and amazing. Highly recommended, she listened to all my concerns and discussed realistic outcomes over a period of time. My rescue dog lulu was very nervous and Sandy helped me and lulu communicate better and have some good techniques for the long run. I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone who would like their puppy or adult dog to be an active part of their family.

Sandy has turned our crazy dog into a calm boy who is fun to be with and not a hassle to take places. He also has a heap of party tricks now. Sandy’s classes are fun and laidback so that you don’t feel like you’re at school again. Classes are also very affordable.
