Reviews of Leadchanges Dog Behaviour Solutions
L. x.We had a very human and dog reactive German Shepherd puppy due to not being able to socialise her well in lockdown. I put an add on bark looking for a dog trainer to help us and Tamasine replied and saved the day! We completed all the basics via video call which worked really well and had 2 in person sessions whilst socially distancing in my garden and on a puppy play field. Tamasine's instructions were very clear, and after every session follow up information such as notes and videos were sent to aid our training in between the live sessions. I am amazed by how far Storm has come in her confidence with people in particular and I now have the tools to help her improve even more around dogs and in new situations that she would have been very anxious about before. I highly recommend Tamasine if you have an anxious/reactive dog, well worth the time and money!
C. V. I.100% recommend! The home visit with the training exercise helped my Lola the podenco so much. She struggles with paying attention to me and getting worked up over dogs and small furries on walks. The exercises we were given have already improved her behaviour so much, and it's only been 4 days!
I also received a hugely detailed and helpful personalised program via email with videos, links, and advice as well as a rundown of all our exercises.
Tamasine is friendly, knowledgeable, and worked so well with my often nervous Lola! Can't wait to see more of Lola's improvements as we continue to follow the program. :)
D. P.I can’t put into words how much Tamasine has helped our little Golden Retriever puppy, Sophie, to have the best start in life. When we first got her, we were completely overwhelmed and struggling to get through each day (first time puppy owners!). Then Tamasine came into our lives and completely transformed our relationship with Sophie, helping us to lay the foundations for a well-mannered, four-legged family member.
Her knowledge, dedication and attention to detail is simply incredible. It meant that we always stayed on the right path during the sessions and the fact that she actively encouraged us to send her videos of our progress outside of the sessions, to which she always responded and critiqued, is proof of how much Tamasine cares about Sophie’s development and that truly means the world to us! She even sent us a whole host of demonstration videos, too, meaning we could always practice and perfect each element of the training.
During the sessions, Tamasine never rushes you or makes you feel inadequate. She explains things extremely clearly and ensures that each task is completed properly, both by us and our puppy. Our little Sophie has come on leaps and bounds and we couldn’t be more proud of her, all thanks to Tamasine. Please, if you’re thinking about getting a dog trainer, contact Tamasine. You really won’t regret it!
R. N.I was recommended Tamasine by a friend after my dog was diagnosed with severe anxiety. Its taken a lot of the training provided by Tamasine but I'm now finally getting my old Oscar back. I've gone from a dog was afraid to leave his safe space to a dog who is now happy to get on the sofa to cuddle and is happy relaxing. We still have a bit of work to do but thanks to Tamasine we're feeling so much happier and we're off to a fantastic start.
I. W.I cannot recommend Tamasine enough. She spent two days with my dogs.I have six. Although the original remit was to work with two of my dogs it turned out that the rest of the "pack" needed some behaviour modification therapy too! The two that I had the problems with were amazing just after a few hours of Tamasine's teaching. She is so knowledgeable and imparts such confidence that I am highly motivated to carry on. I have already noticed a big difference in the dogs. She has introduced me to scent work which I had no idea was great for nervous dogs. I have looked for a long time for a properly qualified dog behaviourist who knows what they are doing. She is a thoroughly lovely person too and very patient with this old lady who has trouble remembering things! Don't go anywhere else!
D. M.I am President of Axarquia Animal Rescue in Spain. Tamasine has supported and worked with us for a long time now , offering support to us and our fosterers and adopters. In Feb 2020, Tamasine donated her time (her travel costs were covered by a sponsor) and came and spent a week with me and my team visiting some of our adopted and foster dogs who needed behavioural support. It was a packed and hectic week. She was wonderful and has kept in contact with the adopters and fosterers since. Tamasine continues to provide advice and support on all our behavioural matters. I can't recommend her highly enough. Her experience and knowledge combined with her passion and love for what she does, and her love and respect for dogs, makes her very special.
K. E.Tamasine has been an absolute god-send for my now 16wk old puppy and I. Sadly we are in lockdown so face to face sessions are off the table but thanks to video tech and WhatsApp conversations we have managed to create a fantastic and effective training schedule.
When I got my lurcher pup Lilly I didn’t really appreciate how much training was required from day one. There are many things that blog posts and FB groups do not tell you as first time owner. Yes, there are plenty of enrichment ideas online but none of this explains that puppies have to learn ‘calm’ and patience as the ABC of their education. This lack of knowledge was a bit of a challenge for us which surfaced in many unsettled evenings when Lilly just didn’t understand that there was a time for play and that I wasn’t her toy on standby.
Then I managed to get help from Tamasine. Tamasine’s training is highly dog-centric and ethical. She helped us lay the foundations that we had missing and gives us weekly exercises to practice in between sessions. The best thing is that Lilly really enjoys it - it’s fun but clear training for the dog! And it is incredible to see just how tired her little mind gets after our sessions. Lilly had become a much more patient and less frustrated little pup. She has really started to think about solutions and I am seeing a lot less of the ‘I want it and I want it now’ pup that I had a few weeks ago.
I can highly recommend Tamasine - you will not find another dog trainer like her. In fact, Tamasine is probably the best top notch expert I could’ve found for us.
K. M. (.Tamasine came out to us on Friday, she has given us so many training advice for our girl . She is full off enthusiasm and makes you feel really positive , very professional, friendly and she's just like having an old friend in the house. Would recommend her to anyone with dog problems.
n. p.Being a new dog owner, is daunting, being a new dog owner to a five year old Romanian rescue with behaviour issues is even more daunting and also being a dad to two cats could've complicated things too. Esme my adopted dog has been badly mistreated in the past and as such is very reactive to humans and other animals. She and I fell in love the very first day but I knew I had take on her issues as well as her, and so I searched on line for a behaviourist in my area, and the reviews for lead changes convinced me that's who I needed, and so here we are a couple of weeks in and my dog is a very different dog, she still has a long way to go but thanks Tamasines patience, and kind natured way I have a dog who doesn't want to eat my cats or my neighbours children. Tamasine Smith is a very special person, she will explain processes, and the reasons our dogs do the things they do, it's been really encouraging to use WhatsApp as a way communicating our training between visits as Tamasine can review video footage and message back positive feedback. I have no problems recommending Tamasine and lead Changes as my life has been turned upside down with this adoption, but my dog had several homes prior to mine and families have given up on her, well I wasn't prepared to do that and Tamasine is very experienced with rescued dogs. I have a long term neurological illness which means no two days are the same, some things I find harder to do than others, Tamasine has easily adapted the "human" training to fit around me, communication is key and Tamasine will be with you all the way.. You and your dog will be in the safe and hardworking hands of Tamasine Smith and Lead Changes.
T. A.I had the pleasure of speaking with Tamasine over the phone before her visit and she reassured me that she could help Alfie with his barking and anxiety. When she visited we both felt that we had a job to do to make Alfie a dog to be proud of. We are working on the instructions Tamasine left us and have found that only after a few days, Alfie is already changing his habits of barking and jumping up people. It will take a while to get him trained to Tamasine standard but we will try to put the work in so we can do her proud for all her hard work. Thank you Tamasine and it is nice to know we can contact you with any issues we experience. We are so pleased you are there for us.
G. G.Tamasine spent the morning with my 5 month old Border Terrier puppy and I yesterday . She was amazing , professional yet friendly and very easy to be with . She was inspiring and has empowered me to go confidently forward with training my lovely puppy. I highly recommend her .
s. T.My dog is a big rescue from Spain and came with lots of baggage . He was a victim that didn't have a voice and used normal but unacceptable behaviour to show his feelings . Two days working with Tamasine as part of the family and we are all in a better place, a happier more confident dog and owner . No longer worrying about him being a bad dog, just a dog that was crying out for help. She was the help we needed with a service that starts before the home visit and follows through after with help and advice for as long as needed. Massive thank you Sheila , Simon and Big Boy Benji xxx
H. T.I can't thank Tamasine enough for all her help with my nervous cockapoo puppy. She came to my house and right from the off gave me ways to help Nellie feel safe. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with any behavioural issues with their dog- her knowledge is just amazing!
B. C.Tamasine worked with us and our frenchie Buddy on Friday, and she was amazing. She is clearly very knowledgeable but is also very skilled at identifying the areas that you need some help with and she also managed to make the session fun for all of us. Buddys response to her was incredible, we have never seen anyone hold his attention for such lengthy periods, and he also clearly enjoyed the stimulation of the training. Tamasine followed up the session with lots of information, including video clips and we are looking forward to starting to embed the training that she has given us but we are also reassured that we can contact Tamasine over the next few weeks if we need to.
C. A.Tamasine has been outstanding and instrumental in ensuring that our rehoming of Henry has been a success. He came to us at 18 months having been in 2 homes already. He had received no training, and hadn't been walked so had a fair amount of problem behaviour. After only 3 visits from Tamasine, we have a totally different and lovely dog after only 7 days. We are very much looking forward to many more wonderful days with him.
C. S.It's only been a short time since we had our session with Tamasine but we're so delighted to already see improvements in our dog's behaviour and the support and encouragement from Tamasine has been amazing. Would highly recommend her to anyone
S. V.I cannot recommend Tamasine enough, she is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She spent around 5 hours with us knocking our two puppies into shape. We’ve also had lots of ongoing support from her which is invaluable.
Thank you Tamasine.
N. S.Many thanks Tamasine for spending time with us (mum, me and Bramble) we all learnt a great deal the information you gave us was excellent .The training was handled with structure and fun, bramble responded to Tamasine within seconds and “I” need to practice some more!! The follow up documents/videos you receive are great and allows you to revisit the items you’ve been shown on the day.
Highly recommend to everyone who would like their fur baby to be the best he/she can be👍🏻
L. S.It is only 6 days since Tamasine came to my home. My 6 year old Keeshund, Poppy, had a high level of excitement and barked incessantly. In such a short time Poppy is more relaxed, thus she does not have the need to keep barking, her barking is under her control. obviously it will be ongoing . Poppy and i are thrilled that Tamasine came into our lives. Tamasine can certainly teach old dogs new tricks .
K. H.I cannot express the gratitude and admiration I have for Leadchanges. Tamasine is professional and friendly a difficult combination to get right. My two min pins have very different characters and difficulties which needed guidance for us to get them back on track. Us guiding and them following not the other way round! Would recommend to anyone with problems with their dogs a first class service.
J. B.Thank you so much Tamasine for your work with Tilly and my daughters and myself, we were at a point where we really believed Tilly would have been happier living with another family. Since your involvement we now have a happy Tilly who is so much calmer and who we are no longer thinking about rehoming. Looking forward to our next session with you. Again thank you, your help has been so greatly appreciated.
J. J.I spent an intense, interesting and highly beneficial day with Tamasine in early Jan.
She is SO calm and focused, and literally had 2 barky rescue dogs eating out of her hand.
She explains how many 'bad' behaviours can be sorted out just with some simple exercises aimed at increasing attention and reducing reactivity. She demonstrates what to do, gets you to practice and is always patient, never tells you off if you go a bit wrong.
Within 2 hrs the dogs had stopped barking at the door, stopped jumping up and had learned to ask for attention with a nice sit or lay down. It was amazing to see how much the dogs enjoyed the training, and how quickly they understood what to do.
She spends as much time as you need, you don't feel rushed. She leaves you with some homework, sends you a detailed plan of action a couple of days later, then checks in via WhatsApp to see how you're doing. There's then a follow up visit after a few weeks to check progress and address any further issues.
Book her, you won't regret it.
L. W.Thank you so much Tamasin for your highly professional, caring and in depth knowledge of dealing with our difficult, nervous and socially challenged little dog. Because of your help and guidance she is now moving forwards with confidence and is so much happier, as are we! We can't thank you enough.
M. K.Thanks Tamasine for the valuable informative time spent with us and Dexter, we really appreciated it. The training session was so constructive and gave us a new approach to the training methods to use .The after training session back up is excellent with follow on guidance and so much information available. We are already seeing improvements in Dexter`s behaviour!
N. M.Highly recommend to any one who wants to understand and do the best for their dog. Tamasine makes so much sense with her instruction which we will now be putting into practice. Thank you so much
J. H.Can’t recommend this service enough! We have a beautiful rescue staffie that we rehomed recently. She has given us great advice and help on how to settle her down. As you can see for the photo my son has gained a best friend already! We will carry on with her training which is simple to learn and something the whole family can do.
Thank you again for all your help
p. c.Tamasine came to help us with our little dog and we could not speak higher of her she was so friendly and spent time teaching my wife and me and Tink my dog on what we should be doing with her, Tamasine is very dedicated and Qualified and go out of her way to give us all the information we need to help us and Tink and she will be there for us if we require more help, i would have no problem in recommending,Tasamine, to any one that require her help, thank you again Tasamine for all your help
