Follow My Lead Dog Behaviour Training, Albany WA

I arrived to Albany with my dog Skylar I’m not sure why but she was continually pulling and being very naughty so I got in contact with Frances who has been amazing in a very short time. I have been to dog training before in groups now I believe how much better one on one is the success I have had in a short time is amazing and thank you so much Frances you have done amazing job training Skylar and myself.

Frances is an extremely talented and kind trainer. The turn around we saw in our puppy was incredible. Frances is able to clearly communicate and show us how to train your dog to produce the results you’re looking for.We were struggling with biting and recall and due to our in-experience were confused how to start addressing these issues and found our self getting frustrated. Frances provided us with an individualised program that catered for our needs and availability. She worked with us 1:1 and privately where she was able to mould our energetic dog into a bright positive and lovely cuddle companion.Frances made us feel safe and welcomed. She provided support and reassurance throughout and was almost instant in her reply’s, proving us with multiple strategies and plans that we could start implementing.We cannot thank Frances enough for all you’ve done for Moe and us. We cannot recommend you highly enough.

Daisy was very stressed about our new home, barking at the neighbours’ dogs next door and any noises. She was growling at visitors when they would try to sit down on the lounge and encroach on ‘her space’. The barking is much more controlled and she now comes to tell me when there is a noise outside. Daisy is now more excited rather than scared when people visit and we have techniques now to use when she gets overwhelemed. We are still working on her excitement at the front door. We found Frances on google and she seemed like a good fit for what we needed and we were really pleased with her help!

Josey was just 13 months old when we met Francis. He’s a sweet-tempered Border Collie/Hunterway/Kelpie X. We’ve always had dogs and trained them in basic obedience but are much older now and an energetic herding dog like Josey was starting to cause some difficulties. The first warning came from our Vet ‘That dog is too strong for you. He’s going to pull you over and cause an accident’. Then a couple of days later he did! Luckily I was unhurt but we knew we had to do something straight away and got in touch with Follow My Lead Dog Behaviour Training.Francis came to our house and we told her how Josey jumped up on everyone, made a fuss when meeting other dogs when out on a walk and pulled like a train! She assured us all these problems could be overcome so we signed up for the Super Dog Course.We started the next week following Francis’ instructions and there was a definite improvement, however the real breakthrough came when Francis took Josey off for four one-on-one training sessions. These made a tremendous difference and each time he came home calmer and more attentive. He is a changed dog now, ignores other dogs and people on the footpath, controls his urge to jump up on people and walks like an old pro on the lead beside me. He’s also quiet in the house, happy to veg out until we go for a walk.Finally thanks to Francis, the other day a unknown guy came up to me at the local dog park and said ‘You’ve got the best trained dog here’! How good is that!It was a team effort but we ‘followed her lead’. Thanks Francis and we’re ready to carry on your good work with our Super Dog Josey.
