Working with our XL Bully

As the XL Bully ban is coming in, our family wanted to get our Crystal assessed by a trainer and to do a little training session, to brush up on leash manners and to get help with muzzle training. Jenni was absolutely amazing, she gave me valuable information on the ban, what needs to happen next and showed me just how smart our girly is! Perhaps what was most important to me, was that Jenni gave me as a dog/xl bully owner confidence that I have been doing well with Crystal. Overall an amazing experience. Thank you Jenni!

Life Changing

How to start a great review for a great service?! We have 2 reactive collies. Jenni has taught me how to be confident and how to own their reactive situations. I wasn’t able to walk them and they would not listen to me (only my boyfriend). Because of Jenni I have overcome my fears and have created a bigger and better bond with my fur babies. I cannot express enough how much Jenni has helped me and the boys. She’s been totally honest from the start which I highly appreciate and always there when I need her! We couldn’t walk past anyone, even on the side of the street. Now we can! Sounds so little but her service has been life changing. Thank you so much for all your help. I look forward to joining in on her new clients group sessions.

Having taken on Mungo, a 5-month old Scottie with no training whatsoever and no experience of the world beyond his breeder’s house, my wife and I were desperate to instil good behaviour without breaking his delightful spirit. Jenni provided the solution with her empathetic and caring approach.

In no time, Jenni had Mungo walking on a lead. She also cured his traffic phobia and taught us how best to socialise him with other dogs. With that in mind, she even arranged to have Mungo meet a selection of star former pupils.

Formal training sessions apart, Jenni regularly made herself available via email and phone to help us deal with problems as they arose.

Thanks to Jenni, Mungo is now a happy, well adjusted and well-behaved dog. We recommend her wholeheartedly

I sought assistance from Salisbury Dog Trainers for our rescue dog, Macho, who was struggling to feel safe and confident when getting into my car and our dog walker’s car. Macho’s refusal to enter the car was jeopardising our relationship with our dog walker, as it was hindering her ability to walk him alongside other dogs in her care. Thanks to Jenni’s expertise and guidance, Macho has made significant progress and can now confidently and comfortably enter the car. This has allowed our dog walker to continue providing her services without any issues. We are grateful for the support and professionalism of Salisbury Dog Trainers in helping us overcome this challenge.

The team at Salisbury Dog Trainers diligently contacted us and fully explained the process, options, and fees. Jenni has remained in contact, helping us feel confident and reducing stress throughout the training process. She has been calm, professional, and patient with Macho, which has been greatly appreciated

I contacted Jenni via a recommendation/ referral as an urgent case.
My dog Luna had become uncontrollable and slightly reactive due to a previous incident.
Luna had zero recall and I struggled to control her around people as she would constantly jump up and nip.
I was struggling to see how things would ever improve and felt we were a lost cause.
The anxiety taking her out was horrendous and she would also constantly pull as well.
Lund is a staffy and with everything going on in the media regarding xl bully’s it made me even more anxious due to the stereotyping of the breed.
I did a FaceTime with Jenni and we agreed a date for training to commence, 1 training session completely transformed the walking experience I had with Luna, Jenni gave me advice and techniques to use to stop the pulling and after 1 session the pulling had stopped.
We worked on recall and how to cope with people coming in to our home and the jumping has stopped Luna knows boundaries and we have a happy home with no jumping or nipping.
Luna now has a strong recall and has become happy and confident around other dogs.
We have such a balance now and the bond I have with her is stronger.
Jenni has given us so much and we cannot thank her enough.
Luna now enjoys off lead walks and can happily walk past other dogs with showing them no interest. Recall is good and we can actually enjoy having people over now.
The training and advice we have been given is invaluable and without Jenni’s support and training we wouldn’t be at the stage we are now.

Jess our large rescue dog was very reactive to other dogs on the lead, so much so I had lost all confidence to walk her. Jenni gave me back the confidence and the tools to enable me/us to move fowards. We are making steady progress with each walk. Jenni is highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and so friendly and relatable, working with her has been a joy. We’ve had 2 x 1-1′ sessions and are now looking forward to our group session to practice further. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for any sort of help with their dogs. We would not be where we are today without her

Absolutely outstanding expertise and service with passion and care.
UPDATED: I now have some time to write a more detailed review that this amazing business – Salisbury Dog Trainers fully deserve. How deserved ? Well, this is my first ever review of anything.
I completely agree with everything else written in all the other reviews, but wanted to give some context about what 20+ years experience gives you when applied by Jenni and in the way she delivers this.
For me it comes down to layers of tools and techniques built from experience, that can be called on if a particular approach doesn’t quite get the outcome required. We had a particularly stubborn problem that was so frustrating for the Dog and us. Jenni worked through a range of approaches with us, each time falling back to another technique as needed to keep us moving forwards, and on top of that Jenni meshed some of these together and came up with some extra things to try. I once got a message at 7 or 8pm saying – I was just thinking about….
I kept trying things I was told by the Dogs Trust for a year without going anywhere, and then procrastinated to commit to a Dog trainer as didn’t know who/how etc. Don’t be me.

Context: Dennis – Doberman, 3yrs old and adopted from Dogs Trust at 1yr old, gentle caring dog but clearly had not had exposure to life, dogs, people, plants, leaf’s, bags, or at all really that moves, or doesn’t move for that matter – anything outdoors would put him into super and unhealthy high alert, his lead walking didn’t exist and recall was worse than that

Jenni came to our house to help with our black Lab Pepper. We were a bit anxious as training in the past had been a complete disaster, but she was fantastic from the start. She was very clear and give instant advice and ideas. I found her very encouraging and enthusiastic and she gave us confidence to really improve and enjoy the training. Pepper is now like a new dog – She is not perfect (which is fine), but she is much calmer around visitors, more responsive and our relationship is much better and happier. I would, and have, recommended Jenni to anyone looking to improve their relationship with their dog and address any behaviour issues.

Very happy with Jenni’s knowledge and approach to resolving an issue with my 4 year old, the video call initially to understand the problem worked well, and multiple follow up video’s were sent to provide a video of diary of progress and Jenni would suggestions on adjustments – A remote service that resolved the issue, would highly recommend.

Jenni worked with me and my blind dog Olive in our home and on our usual walks to help us walk better together as a unit.
I had been finding it difficult to walk with Olive on her harness and lead; I was tripping over her or kicking her when she got too close. Jenni was able to help me understand her behaviour and why she was behaving as she was. Jenni gave me some pointers and some training to do between our sessions.
Within a few weeks I can walk around our estate and the local garden centre with out falling over each other.
Working with Jenni was so easy I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She has so much knowledge and is very friendly.

I asked Jenni to help me with my large rescue dog who can be quite reactive – barking and lunging on the lead. I had been avoiding taking him out on the lead for years as a result.
As he was an older dog with a very bad past, I didn’t expect his behaviour to change much.
How wrong was I ! Jenni was amazing! She did 2 x 1-1 sessions with us and using positive reinforcement, taught me so much about what was driving his behaviour. She gave me lots of good advice on what equipment to use – better leads etc.

I can now confidently walk him around Salisbury and I can see how much he enjoys this. I have even brought him down to Spain and he’s loving it here. I never thought I would be able to achieve this with him.

I thoroughly recommend Jenni – thank you so much !

Cannot recommend Jenni enough. She has worked wonders with our Bernese mountain dog puppy who can be extremely stubborn! Jenni is very professional but also very friendly. Jenni also explained the reasoning behind certain behaviours and the best way to deal with them going forward. Honestly having Jenni help train our pup was the best thing we’ve ever done!

Amy Cutler

Jenni has helped us better understand our dog’s behaviour and has provided us with practical advice to reduce adolescent reactivity. She has trained both us and our dog. Her knowledge is endless and, with her approachable nature, she is a real pleasure to work with. Her aftercare sessions offer an excellent environment in which to continue training. Would thoroughly recommend

Contacted Salisbury Dog Trainers for help with my extremely reactive 8 month pomchi -tilly. Jenni was fantastic. She understood Tilly straight away and gave us some methods to work with. We noticed a huge difference within a few weeks and she has helped us to overcome some other problems too such as recall around horses and cattle on the forest and anxiety about being left alone. The individual attention from Jenni during training sessions could not have been better. A very wise investment for our puppies future

Jenni is brilliant with dogs. She uses positive reinforcement to get the best out of them and they love her for it. I’m much more confident about managing my Akita who is a big girl. Jenni gave me some brilliant tips. I thoroughly recommend her if you need support with your dog. Coco can be stubborn so Jenni taught me how to get her attention and to use a double lead in busy environments. Coco sometimes mouths and pulls on my clothes in play. Jenni taught how to react and not excite her and to always give her a toy instead of treating me like a toy. I’m much more confident with Coco now.

Since starting training with Jenni my confidence has grown and actually being able to handle my dogs has changed my life. I had a few behavioural issues with my 2 dogs and 1 is also nervous which didn’t help the mix. With Jenni as a behaviourist and trainer, she has taught me to take control and now I couldn’t be-happier with the outcome. It has taught me a considerable amount, it’s amazing how my dogs have responded to the close training she provides. Highly recommend. Thank you so so very much, you have done so much for us!

Jenni has been fantastic helping us with our two Romanian rescue pups Fred & Barney. Fred is a scared pup and is reactive because of this.

She’s taught us how to mange and deal with this and has given us a lot of confidence to deal with situations.

She’s so knowledgeable with rescues which has been paramount to us. Jenni is very friendly and really easy to talk to.

Her training techniques are very kind and it’s definitely paying off, we are seeing improvements all the time.

The individual training sessions are fantastic, having Jenni there to guide us and give us pointers on what we can do differently. She also provides aftercare sessions which have been great. It’s great for both pups to be in group settings and we are then able to work on Fred’s reactivity in a controlled setting.

We would 100% recommend Jenni and we look forward to our future sessions.

I came to Jenni after my French bulldog had suffered a trauma and become terrified of his lead and harness. We’d not managed to go out for a walk for weeks as he would run away, put himself in his crate and cower for hours after I just picked up the lead. He also had become very fearful of being touched and handled by any one but me. Jenni helped us desensitise to the lead so we could start enjoying walks again and his happiness and confidence since has started coming back with him even having a cuddle with my sister again! We still have a way to go but Jenni trained me to understand how far to push him and when we needed to go back some steps so he doesn’t get too overwhelmed and anxious. Thanks Jenni!

Jenni was great with our puppy. As first time owners we really wanted some guidance and Jenni supported and gave useful tips from the outset. She really helped us to develop our confidence and having the 1-1 time with her to show us (and puppy) key training tips was invaluable.
We are so glad we booked the puppy package and would recommend it to all new owners!
Thank you

Jenni has trained us and our dog!
He was very reactive to other dogs and his recall was terrible!!
Now his recall is so much improved and his reactivity lots better…. In just a couple of months!
We will continue to use Jenny’s advice and training tricks.
I would highly recommend using Jenni.

Jenni is amazing…Oh my, talk about everyday is a learning day! If you buy a car you need to learn drive so why not the same approach with dog training! Sessions are informative, fun and constructive and this is for both two and four legged clients. What I love is the way that Jenni explains the “why” and allows me to understand what Teddy is thinking and why he reacts, then it’s upto me to use these skills. The results are there within moments, and much like driving we need to practice. Would highly recommend Jenni

Jenni has really helped us with our Bobby who is a big friendly boy. She has been so positive with him and he has really taken to her. From what we see, he is constantly listening to her and being engaged with her which is what we found really hard and struggled with previously! We have learnt a lot from her and she had taught us so much. Thank you for all your help so far and look forward to our next sessions!

We adopted a boisterous 4 month old English Springer in December who was really anxious and nervous. Milo could not be left alone for any length of time and we were really concerned. We contacted Jenni who scheduled a visit at the earliest opportunity. With her amazing guidance and advice, 4 weeks on Milo is a completely different dog. He has confidence and their are no issues with leaving him unattended. His lead skills, recall and his overall levels of obedience are now out of this world! He has now settled in as part of a loving family and is a genuine pleasure…..although we do have the occasional teenage tantrum! Thank you to Jenni for her patience and guidance, my wife and I would recommend Salisbury Dog Trainers to anyone having problems with their dogs young or old…..thanks

Jenni helped us a lot with our Finnish Lapphund puppy Elmo! Elmo had some frustrating behaviors such as eating walls and peeing inside at night. We live in Finland so Jenni couldn’t visit us Jere so we took a videocall with her. Before the videocall she asked some videos and backround information of Elmo. We thought that it was nice that she wanted to see our dog even though we couldn’t meet. She gave us an explanition why Elmo behaved The way he did and recommendation what to do with him. Since that videocall Elmo has been fully housetrained and hasn’t eaten walls. Jenni gave us multible usefull tips to use when training Elmo! We are really greatful that Jenni could help us besides that we live abroad.

Jenni is so personable and friendly, she takes the time getting to know you and your dog in your own environment and her advice really does work. She’s really passionate about what she does and genuinely cares. Anyone you speak to who’s had training with Jenni only has good things to say about her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any kind of issue (no challenge is too great!) or even if you just want to get a head start on training

Whether you have a small problem or a big problem with your dog or dogs, Jenni can help. We found we had a puzzling problem which could have escalated resulting in two unhappy dogs and two unhappy owners. Jenni told us about our dogs, reassured us in how to tackle the problems we faced. We found her presence supportive, reassuring and very helpful. Without her knowledge and experience we would have been confused and not known what to do. Thank you Jenni.

Jenni came to see our 10 year old dog, whose barking had got out of control. I wondered if much could be done as she is a senior dog. The difference is amazing! Jenni gave us many suggestions and not only dealt with her incessant barking, but also walking and generally better ways of interacting with our dog. It has made our dog so much calmer and the barking has decreased to an acceptable alert, rather than prolonged sessions, which had got steadily worse recently. Her explanations of the displayed behaviours made perfect sense and the tools and tricks make for a much happier environment for us all

Jenni has helped us so much with our 18 month old, 70kg St Bernard, who had several issues. She was anxious when people spoke to us, and in narrow spaces and pathways. She would also bark at anyone passing by our home and also our car. Jenni gave us many simple tips and suggestions that we have been working on with great results. We suddenly have a much calmer dog and walks are enjoyable again, instead of being stressful. We will continue to use the advice jenni has given us, with the knowledge that we can call her if need be. We found the group walks to be fun and incredibly helpful as it helped us and our dog to build confidence in greeting and passing by others in a controlled environment, knowing that everyone was in a similar situation.
We highly recommend Jenni, her calm gently approach is exactly what was needed.

Excellent help and support with our tibbetan terrior who was a bit of a handful when we first brought him home. Great training tips and advice have ensured we have a much calmer and loving dog. Thanks so much. Would highly recommend

It has been a pleasure to work with Jenni. She listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve with our puppy and gave us lots of insights into her behaviours we hadn’t managed to address. We now have lots of strategies to use with our very bright, energetic puppy!

Jenni has worked wonders with our puppy Tali. From our first video meeting she filled us full of confidence that we would work together to give our gorgeous Cocker Spaniel pup the best start in life. Tali, and us as a family, still have much to learn and practice, but with Jenni meeting and guiding us, I have no doubt we will be successful!

Jenni has helped us hugely with dog to dog reactivity. Our rescue is anxious and recently became dog reactive as a result. The training was more for me as I had to learn to be confident and not panic when I saw another dog which was directly feeding down to Twix. Jenni gave me back my confidence and rather than panicking when I see a dog, I’m now advocating for her and it has made a huge difference to her reactivity.
Still plenty of practice needed but I now have the tools and confidence. Jenni has a genuine love of dogs and was compassionate and non-judgemental towards me (and the mistakes I had previously made). Full 5/5 for all her guidance and professional help!!
Emily Lane

Can’t recommend Jenni enough. The training is so positive and my dog is perfectly behaved with her, it is ongoing training with me as he is over protective. But the changes are getting there and I can message Jenni for help. She does not complete her time with you and that is it. Jenni offers ongoing support

We took our 2 year old spaniel monty and all we can say is WOW absolutely amazing!! He is a totally different dog and we are feeling so much more confident about dealing with him and other dogs. Jenni is absolutely brilliant, she is so lovely and calming with both the dogs and people. She made us feel reassured that everything would be okay and monty loved her. We can’t recommend Jenni enough!!

I put off using a professional dog trainer because it’s expensive and I thought having had a dog before who was well trained and behaved I could surely do it again. But I struggled for months with my girls and finally called Jenni when I literally couldn’t cope anymore. Jenni has been amazing. She not only taught me how to engage with different energy but also how to read body language and diffuse situations quickly. Her quiet manner and continued support makes her a first class trainer and lady. My girls and I are doing much better together and they now have some really great foundations for being well rounded dogs. If you’re hesitant like I was, don’t be, just call Jenni, you won’t regret it!

We came to Jenni because she was recommended by a neighbour who was really impressed. Jenni was brilliant. We had a problem with our new lab/spaniel puppy who was bullying our 8 year old lab/retriever. Jenni explained the differences in the dogs temperaments and showed us some really simple things to do to help them get along better. In no time at all the problem went away. We would highly recommend her and would use her again if we had more problems.

Jenni has been fantastic helping with our young Labrador, Hunter. After spending most of his life either in lockdowns or recovering due to medical issues, Hunter’s socialisation had been severely limited and he was an anxious little fella around new people, places and new situations. With Jenni’s guidance, he has improved dramatically and is so much calmer and happier now when out and about. Jenni has turned my boy into a happy and more confident doggie and I would 100% recommend Salisbury Dog Trainers for dog training and behaviour issues.

Jenni has been absolutely amazing! My 9 month sprocker spaniel has been suffering with anxiety including a separation anxiety and has had massive issues being left alone since we moved into our new home and away from other dogs. Jenni has helped massively with tips and support when it comes to leaving him and slowly but surely he is learning to settle and becoming more comfortable with me walking away from him. I think the key difference Jenni makes is giving me the confidence and knowledge in how to support my dog the most I can and she is always at the end of the phone whenever I’ve needed her! We also did some recall training with jenni, again giving me exercises to practice on how to get him to walk at a shorter distance instead of bolting off into the distance! Couldn’t recommend more!

Jenni has been amazing with my labradoodle “Bryn” who was very reactive on the lead as well as with black dogs. I can now walk with him on his lead without (almost) all the time him not barking and lunging at other dogs. He’s also let off the lead which I thought I’d never do with him. He even just settles down quickly and quietly when we stop for a coffee in Salisbury. PLUS he absolutely adores Jenni. All in all she’s done a fantastic job with both of us!! I’d highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Jenni for everything & we look forward to our group walk.

Dog training with Jenni has been such a positive experience. I fully recommend Salisbury dog trainers. Training was made achievable and enjoyable – fun all around.

Jenni helped with so much more than our orignal issue. Lots of useful tips and hints in numerous situations.

Random resource guarding was the reason we got in touch. Merin our 8 month old Golden Retriever would pick up items from around the house, if I showed any signs of trying to take them away he would get quite angry. This became scary and so I needed expert help. Jenni came and quickly solved the WHY? and soon things were changing for the better.  

We have so much confidence now and I am pleased to say Merlin’s improvement is fantastic. Thank you Jenni

Working with Jenni has been such a pleasure, she has given my whole family so much confidence with our pup, Winston.

This was a first time dog for all of us, we have two girls aged 3 and 4 and as a family we wanted to learn to do things right from the start. 

This was so much more than training the pup, Jenni understood our needs as a family and helped to fit training to suit us, including the children. 

Jenni could relate to all the issues i was raising and had amazing solutions to them all. We are so grateful that we found her, this was the best investment we made since purchasing Winston.

I don’t know how to thank Jenni of Salisbury dog trainers enough, I contacted them as my Beagle Poppy was having all sorts of behaviour issues. The main concern was her stress and anxiety when she is out on walks and comes across other dogs. She would literally make a shrill screaming sound, like she was being murdered. Needless to say walking her is not a great experience. The first part of the training was the video call with Jenni, I mean this was great as we did all the talking and history before our first one to one a week later. Jenni even gave me home work from the call and asked me to practice the “Look at me” command. When we got to our first session, Jenni was pleased that the command was working well for the most part. Now the training started, we switched to her recommended lead for this and it wasn’t long before Poppy was responding in a different way. Jenni’s breakdown of the reasons why she is acting in these ways was a real learning curve and helped me to understand Poppy better. I had to keep up the hard work but when she revisted a few weeks later, MY GOD !! what a difference. Life changing stuff, as long as you put the effort in too. Jenni you are an amazing lady/dog trainer.

After getting our puppy Canaan, “Rogue” my partner and I realised that we would need some more focused expert help after our inital puppy class training.  We felt we needed our confidence building especially with recall. Rogue, well us! also required help with walking on a loose lead, socialisation and just making sure we were doing all the right things in other areas of training. A local friend in Ringwood had used Jenni and recommended her to us. We instanly liked her style of teaching and gained so much from her experience, skills and knowledge. We now enjoy our dog, with normal things like off lead walks in designated areas. We have learned so much in such a short space of time. Jenni really knows how to connect with dogs and their owners, if you need help then look no further

I cant recommend Jenni enough she has worked wonders with my dachshund already only within a few sessions and can see so much progress and light at the end of the tunnel already. Jenni is professional and friendly and adapts each session to our needs and is full of knowledge and tips and tricks to help us train our dog, she’s always just a call or a text away to help with anything and for any updates and milestones we hit. Whether your problems are big or small Jenni is dedicated to helping any dog

Jenni helped me and my Portuguese Podengo, Lola. The timing could not have been more perfect for me and Lola. She was definately an unruly rescue and very excitable. Then there was the other dogs issue – she just didn’t like them. After training Lola passed a cat on our walk without a fuss at all. She is off the lead everyday as we have the confidence to do this now. Lola also can attend a doggy day care with lots of other dogs too. The main point to make here is the understanding Jenni has left us with about Lola’s behaviour and how we communicate with her. We are so much happier for this experience.

Jenni was simply fantastic with my anxious miniature dachshund, and the 2 others who shall we say are very vocal.
From consultation to our meetings I was put at ease as felt I had let my dogs down .
Jenni taught me how to read not only the dogs but myself as well, as my little one was feeding from my anxiety to.
We worked together and Jenni was never bothered by my hundreds of questions.
Her husband who I spoke to first about my queries about the training and costs etc was just as professional they really make a great team.
We are still in progress as you can’t just wave a wand it’s a team effort with myself and the dogs and the first class training we received, but now having the knowledge and tips we are making great process.
Thank you Salisbury Dog Trainers
From Myself Hattie, Sydney and of course Frankie

Our very socialable Dalamation, starting showing signs of being aggressive towards certain other dogs. This was a horrible situation and so already aware of Jenni and her experience I gave Salisbury Dog Trainers a call.
The training went so smoothly and Jenni had our dog under beautiful control. She taught us what to do and then supported us with the same methods.
We have a comprehensive understanding and aproach to how we communicate with our beautiful Dalmation now. We can help to control her when situations stress her out and this helps our stress too.

“This is Millie, she is our adorable doggy who we rescued and adopted from Hungary.
We have had her since November of last year when she was around 12 months old. Being out on the streets had its affects on Millie and has left a few scars. From being very nervous and timid, she has transformed into an amazing, well natured, well behaved dog. We had problems along the way but with the help of Jenni we are finally getting there.
Jenni is amazing with dogs, she truly understands each and everyone of them. What she can do with dogs is amazing. She makes it all look very easy which we know it is not – but she gives you the tools, the understanding and the confidence you need to continue her good work.
She is very supportive through all areas of training and even checks in on you after her training is complete. I would highly recommend Jenni – her training has made a difference”

After taking in our rescue, we were struggling. Also we are having a new baby in the house towards the end of the year meant that we had to get some help and we couldn’t have hoped better than Jenni  Salisbury Dog Trainers. Within the first few minutes she had our boy almost behaving and after our first session it was like night and day compared to how it was before. Now after our second we now have a happy and less stressed out boy which was our main concern & even i’ve been sufficiently trained at the same time! We cannot recommend Jenni Salisbury Dog Trainers enough, what she did and taught us has been a complete game changer, highly recommended.

Jenni has recently helped us with our dog Stevie’s behaviour. Stevie was awful around our food and would constantly jump at the table and on us if eating on the sofa and had also been known to steal food out of hands and off plates! We also just needed some help with ensuring that Stevie knew that we were in charge and that no meant no!
Jenni is absolutely amazing – so easy to talk to and very understanding. You don’t feel like you are being judged for your dogs behaviour either which I think is key! Jenni has helped us so much, Stevie never jumps up at the table anymore and doesn’t steal from us if we eat on the sofa. He listens to us so much more and is an even more enjoyable dog now. Jenni also offered advice on general nutrition and gave us training games to play inside and outside and I know I can reach out and ask her any questions any time.
I would recommend Jenni to anyone struggling with their dogs behaviour – like I said before she is amazing.
Plus Stevie loved her and her treats too!

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.

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.

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.“

– Miranda Walker

"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."

Sophie Nias-Cooper

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."
