Barking & Aggressive to Bundle of Joy

Lola would pull on the lead constantly, barking, aggressive to other dogs and I dare not let her off the lead!

We have worked with Jenni as a family over two sessions and the improvement is remarkable! Jenni is so in tune with dogs it’s almost like magic!

Lola is now much calmer on the lead, doesn’t bark when walking and her recall is almost perfect.

Anxiety, trust issues and barking

Honey barks at everyone and anyone unfamiliar who comes in our home and I can’t walk her in public as it’s a stressful experience for all with her growling and barking at anyone close or making eye contact and her pent up anxiety leads to her lunging towards dogs on the lead.

I am absolutely over the moon. Still lots to work on but Jenni has explained her behaviour, how I need to respond and how to mould this behaviour over time. I am absolutely thrilled and had such an enjoyable day today.

Puppy Training Made fun for the family

At times we felt quite daunted by the task of co training this puppy with our daughter. Jenni has so many clever ways of making the training fun for the dog as well as us. I have learnt so much, I thought I knew about dogs till I met Jenni!

We can’t thank Jenni enough. The confidence she istilled with our rescue Malimut was amazing. He is a large dog and highly energetic. Jenni showed us how to channel his energy into positive behaviour, allowing him to be a relaxed dog and enjoy his new life with us.

The main issues we needed fixing were the lead walking and recall, after our second session things had gone from Improved to near on perfect. We are not worried about letting him off lead around other off lead dogs, the changes are dramatic.

Jenni is highly recommended, thank you so much

Jenni is amazing, can’t fault her or hubby Dan who is there supporting in the background.

Jenni has worked with us a few times. Working with reactivity, recall and today territorial and protective behaviours.

She is brilliant at not only observing them and understanding them but asking us questions and clearly explaining what’s going on and why they react the way they do, as well as training us how to deal with it/change what we do and it really works.

We love working with her and highly recommended her.

She’s worked wonders with these little monkeys. Thank you

We contacted Jenni about puppy training for our 6 month old Cocker Retriever Rory as we were struggling with his recall and pulling on the lead. The consultation call, followed by the 1–2-1 sessions made a huge difference! We had felt bamboozled by all the different advice we had been getting from friends/family and online and it was so good to get some consistent advice from someone so experienced. Jenni’s approach is so effective because she teaches you to really understand your dogs behaviour so you are equipped to deal with any issues in the long term. Jenni makes training an enjoyable experience and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

We contacted Jenni at Salisbury Dog Trainers for help and confidence with our GSD puppy, Margo.

Margo was lead reactive and generally pushing boundaries.

Having always had dogs I never thought I’d need ‘help’ but Jenni has taught us so much and given us the ideas and confidence to carry on with the training.

I would 100% recommend Jenni, she’s great at sorting even the smallest of problems and taking the time to make sure you have resolved the issue. She is always at the end of the phone to give advice and genuinely cares. Margo absolutely adores Jenni and her improvement is amazing, now we can enjoy lead walks as well as having new ideas for future training.

Jenni is amazing!! absolutley fantastic with dogs. My five month old German Shepherd Wilson, was reactive on the lead and very nervous around other dogs. He is not my first dog, I have owned German Shepherds before. As I discovered not all dogs are the same and although experienced with this Breed, Wilson was more of a challenge than expected. Jenni not only worked with Wilson to fix his lead behaviour and reactivity but she also worked on my issues too. It seemed like Wilson was never going to understand me, that is until Jenni taught me how to speak to him in the correct way. Quite soon I was able to maintain the training she put in place and it felt really rewarding and exciting to see my puppy responding to me the way it should be. I recommend Jenni to anyone with dog behaviour problems, she is the all round package.

Jenni has been incredible in helping us with our Rottweiler puppy Bruno. The knowledge she has about all breeds and behaviours is so beneficial. Aside from helping with recall and threshold training, Jenni checked in with us weekly to answer our messages and request videos of our improvements or back steps. Thanks to this amazing behaviourist Jenni Molland, we have the perfect family dog. We would not hesitate to recommend Salisbury Dog Trainers.

My partner and I were struggling with Reggie’s increasing anxiety on walks, particularly with traffic, people and certain areas. He’d always been a timid dog in strange situations since he was a pup, and things seemed to get worse this year. Thanks to Jenni, we now have a much better understanding of specific triggers and an increased wealth of training knowledge to help our boy enjoy his walks a lot more. The guidance and advice has been incredibly valuable and the improvement in Reggie has been wonderful. Would recommend in a heartbeat, not least because Jenni’s after care and availability have shown that for her, it’s not about giving us the time we pay for, but giving us the result that we needed. Many many thanks!

Had 2 sessions with Jenni and have made progress with our 18 month old springer/collie cross even in a short space of time! Jenni really addressed our recall issues and we’re feeling more confident and using methods of training that really work for our little tinker! Thank you

We couldn’t of done it without Jenni’s expertise. She has eased our minds and taught us how to deal with our very anxious Cane Corso puppy, Zeus. Jenni has this amazing ability, not only to read a dog, but also the owners. Along with all her knowledge, help and advice Zeus is now enjoying being off the lead, playing with other dogs, understanding basic commands and his recall is 110% . All this after only 2 sessions!!. Can’t thank Jenni enough and would highly recommend to anyone as no dog seems to be too much of a challenge.

Patient, friendly, understanding and very knowledgeable. Jenni took the time to understand our dog and how best to move forward with training specific to our Rosie. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Jenni is fantastic with dogs. She has great depth of knowledge and expertise. We wanted to make sure we were doing the right things with our whippet puppy and Jenni certainly made sure we were. we feel we have the skills now to continue her good work. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

We found out our new puppy Stella was deaf from the breeder a week before we were due to bring her home. Of course, all of our families and friends offered their opinions but we wanted to make an informed decision so spoke to some deaf dog owners, a vet and I emailed Salisbury Dog Trainers.

I got a really lovely email back within an hour and the offer of a chat over the phone (on a Sunday). Dan gave me lots of information, advice and explained what they could offer as support if we decided to still give Stella a home. Their first discussions with us were a big factor in us decided to still get Stella and making sure we were fully prepared.

Jenni came to meet us just over a week after we’d had Stella. We asked Jenni 1,000s of questions! During the session Jenni showed us how to teach lie down and wait- both of which we were very proud to show her at our next session! She also gave us LOADS of advice and we felt much more confident in what we were doing. She also gave advice on suitable harness/leads etc.

What we found really good is that Jenni checked in with us in between sessions and responded to some immediate questions we had before our session. Also a couple after, as well.

Jenni had done her research and her previous experiences with a deaf dog really helped, but it was mainly the day to day puppy ‘stuff’ that had the biggest impact for us.

We still have a very long way to go with Stella on recall, but we have the basics and a very happy/confident puppy. Jenni has given us the tools we need.

We have taken Stella to puppy classes as well, which have been great, but there is nothing like the 1 on 1 if you have any specific issues or want to ask lots of question. Well worth the money. Thoroughly recommend!

Thank you Jenni!

Absolutely fantastic trainer! Really helped us with our recall issues. Fun & energetic, Jenni is very thorough and gives you lots of approaches to practice. After only a few weeks our dog was already much improved, we are delighted with the success. Highly recommended trainer, she’s worth every penny!!!

Jenni spent two sessions with us and our beautiful boy Chase. Whilst he is a gorgeous dog, walking had become a really stressful experience due to his pulling on the lead and unpredictability with other dogs. Jenni gave. us so much great advice and included the whole family. She made it fun and productive. Although we still have lots of work to do, Jenni has given us the tools and we all feel more confident and family dog walking is becoming a pleasure again.

Dan was also fab from start to finish – they have both been so kind and are still on hand when we have questions or concerns. Thanks Dan and Jenni from all of us Comptons – especially Chase!!!

Jenni is amazing! after one session there was a noticeable change in our dog Ella. we rehomed Ella 2 years ago and she was still very reactive to other dogs, staring at them and pulling. After 2 sessions we were able to stand in a park with 2 dog running near her and she was fine. You will not regret using Salisbury Dog Trainers!

“Jenni’s expertise and understanding is incredible! I was recommended to Jenni as struggling with our Maltese! She would pull on the lead constantly, barking, aggressive to other dogs and I daren’t let her off the lead as never sure if she would come back!

We have worked with Jenni as a family over two sessions and the improvement is remarkable! Jenni is so in tune with dogs it’s almost like magic! Her ability to understand how they’re feeling and what they need and then translate that is hard to explain unless you see it for yourself!

Lola is now much calmer on the lead, doesn’t bark when walking and her recall is getting much much better! Jenni has been a breath of fresh air for us, she listened not just to me but the children and was so patient!

Jenni has also been an enormous source of support in between appointments when I felt we weren’t making progress! I can not recommend her enough, truly amazing and talented lady! Thank you so much xxx”

“I cannot thank you enough Jenni (Salisbury Dog Trainers)

I contacted Jenni as I have a Romanian rescue (Honey) who is terrified of unfamiliar people, particularly men.

She’s 2 years old and we’ve had her for 18 months. We’ve worked on so many issues but this one I just couldn’t crack. I even approached Dogs Trust at my lowest point with her who simply told me they couldn’t take her as she was too anxious and they couldn’t help.

She barks at everyone and anyone unfamiliar who comes in our home and I can’t walk her in public as it’s a stressful experience for all with her growling and barking at anyone close or making eye contact and her pent up anxiety leads to her lunging towards dogs on the lead. All I’ve ever wanted is to have a nice family day out at Moors Valley with her.

100% recommend.”

“Jenni is a dynamic, highly skilled dog trainer and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs. She gave us the confidence to train Basil.

Although both my husband and I grew up in homes that had dogs we haven’t had a puppy or dog before.

At times we felt quite daunted by the task of co training this puppy with our daughter. Jenni has so many clever ways of making the training fun for the dog as well as us.

I have learnt so much, I thought I knew about dogs till I met Jenni!! Her training makes sure the dog is well behaved and content. I would recommend her to training highly.

Thank you Jenni.“

"Jenni is so good with Santiago. It’s brilliant to watch her whip him in to shape. She’s trained me too! Loads of helpful advice and tips. Even during lockdown, when I thought I was going to lose the plot! We had the puppy training and although we’ve had dogs before, I feel so much more in control and the dog is super happy."

Dog Owner Reviews

"Jenni is such a natural with dogs, she has the ability to gain their respect instantly and an impressively deep understanding of their behaviour. Her help with our puppy Alfie has made a huge difference - we were struggling before our sessions with her, but her training and guidance (and patience with us human owners!) has worked wonders. Do not hesitate to book a session, she absolutely has the skills to turn any tricky canine behaviour around"

Frea Nunn

"It has been a pleasure to have Jenni helping with both our dogs: our exuberant and stubborn Dalmatian pup and selectively reactive border terrier. She is so insightful and builds an instant rapport with dogs and humans alike."
