Behaviour t herapy - phobia of walking and the car
"Just a brief note to update you after your home visit to assist us with our 10 year old Border Collie Max. As you may recall Max was unwilling to leave our garden to take even the shortest walk and was very anxious and nervous when we tried. With your help and guidance he now looks forward to his daily (occasionally twice per day) walk which we route vary every day. Each walk lasts 45 minutes to an hour and is the highlight of his day. He is now walking with/behind us and doesn't 'tug' on his lead. Only difficulty he has is with large lorry/buses type traffic passing close to us and he gets a wee bit 'skitty' until they pass..... but we are working on that. Our next task is to get him to travel in the car but we see that this might take some time yet. Repetition seems to be the way forward with Max.
Thanks for your help and we will keep you informed of his progress. BTW we also enjoy the walks!"

Behaviour Therapy and training classes - Dog dog aggression (barking and lunging) and cat chasing - Tara cross bred "Just wanted to give you a quick update on Tara's progress. Miracle of miracles I think we have just about won the war. She is coping so much better with other dogs on and off the lead. She now barely whimpers when we pass another dog in the street and her recall in the park when she sees other dogs is nearly 100%. Alison who would hardly ever take her out now walks her every day after school ( its got nothing at all to do with the fact she walks with her boyfriend Sam tho!) and she has no problems with her at all!
I know its your job to train and give advice but I cant thank you enough for all your help with Tara you have been a god send. You just have the knack when it comes to relating to the dogs and owners and are genuine as well and that is so apparent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and the training classes to other people."

Behaviour Therapy - Dog dog aggression (chasing and barking) Bailey "I wanted to drop a note to thank you for all your help with Bailey (our two year old German Shepherd). Bailey had a real problem interacting with other dogs and would bark and lunge towards them. what a difference! Since working with you he is now much calmer and a pleasure to take out a walk. he has even started to make canine friends.
Thank you for helping us to understand our dog.
I cant recommend you highly enough."

This was a particularly pleasing case as Bailey was already on his third home, what a wonderful dog he is, even I was impressed how quickly he improved. Lynn Allardyce.
Behaviour therapy and training classes - seperation related Fraoch "I saw Lynn for a behavioural consultation for my 9yr old Deerhound as he was howling when I was with clients. My GSD had died and he was missing her. After a very thorough consultation, Lynn concluded that he had separation anxiety and gave me several areas to work at to address the problem. The whole experience was very positive, and Lynn was very encouraging, knowledgeable, and reassuring. I later went to one of her classes, again a very positive experience; the training was all reward based, conducted in a fun environment that encouraged learning in a stress-free way. Since then I have a new GSD puppy whom I’ve taken to puppy class for socialisation, and is now in the junior class…..and we’re both loving it! I would recommend her without hesitation, whether you need one-to-one behavioural work or a training class."

Puppy 'right start' session and classes Ross Golden Retriever  We consulted Lynn for a Puppy Right Start Consultation when our Golden Retriever ‘Ross’ was 12 weeks old as his playful biting was becoming too aggressive and causing us concern.
Lynn engaged with ourselves and Ross in a very thorough assessment and commenced the process of clicker training which Ross responded well to, along with giving us lots of helpful advice and areas to work on.
After a few weeks we saw a marked improvement in Ross’s behaviour.
He is now 11months old, has gone from strength to strength and has successfully completed Lynn’s Training Classes in Puppy, Junior, Advanced Level I, is currently doing Advanced Level II, and hoping to progress to Fun Agility.
We cannot stress enough how valuable Lynn’s help has been, Ross is now a contented, very sociable loveable dog/rogue who has learned so much.
Throughout our involvement, Lynn has been very professional, her classes have limited numbers and a relaxed atmosphere, which encourages owners and their dogs to have fun whilst learning along with making new friends both canine and human.
We would highly recommend Lynn’s Puppy Right Start and Training Classes to anyone and wish her continuing success for the future.

Training classes - Rocco Chocolate Labrador  I dread to think what Rocco would be like if we had not attended the classes. I imagine he would be uncontrollable and not nearly as much fun especially as he is a large breed of dog.
The classes are informal and most importantly FUN FUN FUN for the dogs and owners. The positive learning technique really works at all times and for all circumstances, the hard part is getting your head round the dog’s psychology, thinking the way the dog does.
Do not hesitate to join these classes you will reap the benefits. He started off in the puppy class, moved onto junior, advanced level 1 and is currently doing advanced 2 in anticipation for the fun agility class.

Training classes - Nikkita German Shepherd Hi, my name is Nikkita and I'm a nine month old German Shepherd bitch. I have successfully completed my puppy, junior, advanced 1 and currently doing my advanced 2 obiidience training.
The HAPPY Dog Training Club (pet behaviour scotland) is a fantastic dog club, I've made lots of new friends there, Lynn our trainer is great, she teaches us new things every week, is great fun and very patient with us. The bond I have made with my owner has grown stronger through doing the training.
So if you want to be a HAPPY DOG come along and join us now.

Behaviour Therapy - Alfie and Buddy Golden Retrievers  The one - to - one behavioural session we had with you was worth every penny. It very quickly made us (and the dogs) realise how small behavioural changes can make such a big difference and it has transformed the way that we interact with the dogs - everyone human and canine has benefited. Caroline (10 years old) now enjoys walking the dogs on the lead without all the pulling and other problems and they are responding well to recall when off the lead. There is still a long way to go but we are looking forward to attending classes later this month. Thank you again for all your help.
