In 2012 a dog named Floyd kicked off the "I don't need a pack leader" slogan. Sadly Floyd passed away a few days ago and in his memory his loving family would like to see this slogan take off again. Post your pictures with the slogan "My name is .... And I don't need a pack leader" and hash tag #Floyd. Let's give the big fella the send off he deserves. Get those pics circulating 👍 #Floyd... "Dogs don't need pack leaders, they need guardians that understand that behaviour happens for a reason; a symptom if you will. Punishing the behaviour just suppresses it, often causing other unwanted behaviours to appear instead. Fixing the underlying problem by supporting your dog to cope with the world safely with kind methods builds trust, strengthens bonds and has less fallout #floyd with Claire Staines" words by Lyn Dobson
Our names zeus and fudge and we dont need a pack leader!

So zeus has put on 4 kilos in 3 weeks! Im glad i spent some of his early days conditioning to vet stuff including syringes as he has a little bit of a poorly tummy at the mo

Hands up whos coming!!!

Today me and zeus are off to a craig ogilvie workshop.....apparently Zeus isnt all that keen on a 6 am start to get ready

One of todays consults was with Clyde. Who is just the sweetest little dog. Im helping his owners deal with his reactivity towards dogs and cats💓

Ready for a day of consults #forcefree #motivate

Zeus is finding all this socialising and learning incredibly tiring

Ghost used to go completely nuts at the door......so we trained a more acceptable behaviour

Beautiful Eddies mum did a long journey to come see me for a consult today.
Eddie is a anxious boy who lacks confidence. Today we talked through personality traits and slow processes to help him.
Im humbled to have someone travel as far as Eddies owner did today
... Their bond is so incredible to see💓💓💓

Socialising has started. Today weve been off to bubbles pet store

My job
Recently i was asked what my job entails.
Well......
... I specialise in reactivity and aggression. So i have lots of potentially dangerous cases. I have lots of emotional cases.
My qualifications mean i can fix the issues these dogs have.
But equally i offer emotional support to owners. Im there for them through the high and lows of owning a reactive or aggressive dog and their journey through their behaviour modification.
This means im always working and im cool with that. Its what im here for. Its why i love my job.
This morning ive had long text exchanges with 4 owners on their reactive journey. Some of them needing some reassurance and others wanting to share their successes.
Being part of the journey is incredible💕💕💕

When our daughter got a Westie puppy we went to Charly to sort out our 8yr old Westie Mollie who didn't tolerate other dogs at all. One month later our daughter and Bear spent the whole weekend and with us and we walk them together most days.....amazing change! Thanks soooo much Charly

We have a very reactive 5year old rescue Rottweiler. We've only had him for about 8 months but that whole 8 months we have really been struggling to get his focus out on walks. He's a very sensitive boy and very reactive out on walks. We hated walking him and we started to loose hope! We got recommended Charly by a friend. We've only had a consult with Charly so far but she was extremely thorough and has shown us that we can actually have an enjoyable walk with homer and how to do so. We're so proud of homer and couldn't be more thankful for Charlys help! I never thought we would be able to walk homer with relaxed lead and she's proved we can. Homers beginning to enjoy himself outside and relax. It's so lovely to see. Would highly recommend Charly to anyone!!

We can't thank Charly enough for all the support we have received. We had a very bad experience with another trainer who almost made us go backwards. we feel so lucky to have found Charly. we are so much happier. I would recommend her to everyone. Our dog Ralph loves her :)

Very helpful and understanding of both us and the dog considering we have talked to so many other dog trainers Charlie was the only one willing to help , would highly recommend to anyone!!

My team at FootFalls canine physiotherapy received a fantastic behaviour presentation and question and answer session from Charly this morning, she was professional, approachable and made the session interactive and all staff found the session helpful and feel they gained relevant and useful information. Thank you so much for spending the time with us and we look forward to be able to help our clients and their dogs.

My dog, Ghost, isn't great with people so I called Charly to see if she could help. I have never seen my dog become so friendly to a stranger so quickly! Charly really knows her stuff and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again!

Lily was reactive and on a very restricted diet. We have changed her diet on Charlys advice and are putting a training plan into action. Lily is a different dog! I can't recommend Charly enough

I've only known charly since August but she has been amazing helping us get a great relationship with our german shepherd harley!! His recall and general obedience is now fab thanks to charly educating us!! We now have another german shepherd pup called diesel and at 15 weeks is a joy! Thanks to charlys puppy training diesel was house trained in 5 days and his recall and confidence is great!! Cannot recommend charly enough!



Thank you from the Harris family and of course your best mates harley and diesel x

I've known Charly for a while and been able to use her advice with numerous bogs. giving advice to people that are at wits end and about to give up.



In March this year I took on a rescue myself and have been having some issues mostly with anxiety and stress. I was getting to my wits end as all the normal training that I have used over the years wasn't working. Charly took her time and gave me a large amount of advice. coming to see us and going through things.

I have gone from being scared to take her anywhere to the point where today she has been to a dog rescue show and even won a few of the meddles on the day. she no longer wants to get hold of every dog. or scare everyone away from her. she is now a big happy part of my family. We still have a lot of work to do and will be in constant contact with Charly. something I feel is very worthwhile.

I would recommend this young lady to anyone. she is very approachable. easy to talk to. knows what she is talking about. and I think it says it all. when the dogs get excited they are going to see the trainer.

I have a stranger and dog reactive 4 year old Bulldog Bitch, she was a rescue and not a whole lot was known about her.



I contacted Charly to see if she could offer some further advice to what I had already been working on. Charly has given me all the skills, methods, tools and training advice to help Bella overcome her anxieties.



Charly enlightened me that I was the one who needed the most confidence with handling Bella and she would work with me. After only one session, Bella is so switched on and is making progress already, I’m feeling very positive.



I would highly recommend Charly to anyone, she is fantastic at what she does and helps owners as well as their dogs.



Very happy pooch and owner, the good work continues!

I first came to Charly as my puppy is a resource guarder. Charly guided me through managing this behaviour as well as pointing out the mistakes I had been making that increased his guarding.

I have been working with Charly ever since and today have focussed on “settling”. Slow and steady steps with my pup, but Charly’s support and guidance is keeping us on track �

I could not recommend Charly enough! She has been a huge help with our reactive boy Ollie. With Charly's continued support and advice, he is making a vast improvement. She has also supported us through a change in Ollie's diet as he had been struggling with digestion issues and it was difficult to get him to eat, he now seems much happier and healthier for it. Charly is very knowledgeable and is always on hand for help and advice, nothing seems too much trouble. She has been fantastic and Ollie is always very excited to see her.

Had our first meeting with Charley this morning and was really impressed! She knows her stuff and put it across in a knowledgable, friendly way with out making you feel she was patronising you. Dexter was really responsive to her and she gave me lots of advice and tips to work on until we next see her. I really enjoyed the morning! ☺️

Had my first meeting with Charly and I’m really impressed with her knowledge and patience with dealing my dog (and me!!). She bonded straight away with my dogs and has given me a clear understanding on the issues and how to take things forward with a positive outcome! Thank you x

Charly is my life saver. We got Ralph a wheaten terroir at 8 weeks old.

Charly came round to meet us straight away and asked us what we wanted from Ralph.

Charly put a realistic plan together for us and Ralph.

She came weekly to make sure we was getting on with the plan and teach us something new.

Charly would always answer my calls or text when I wasn't sure if I was doing it right (believe me this was a lot but she never got annoyed with me constantly calling her)

Charly is excellent and we highly recommend her. Charly has also helped us with the bumps we have had along the way with Ralph.

Ralph is now 9 months old and we still see Charly on a regular basis to keep us on track.

As much as we love Charly, Ralph loves his auntie Charly the most!

Well done Charly excellent service and awesome person, really knows her stuff.

Charley is a fantastic and very knowledgable trainer. I would highly recommend her professional services.

Bern having sessions with charly for a while. She has had to work on getting my dog to a better less anxious place indoors and now the real work begins outside. My dog is highly anxious and nervous and was taken away from his mum about 4 weeks I think. I have had various trainers/ behavourist but nobody that I liked and trusted or let me down. Charly has been a godsend in every sense and been consistent with my boy. She has taught me so much and I know it's going to be a long process in getting him to a better place but who better than charly to help me.

As complete puppy novices we wanted our puppy Toby to have training, we found it difficult to find classes to fit in with us until we read about Charly on Facebook. We had our consultation and booked the course. Charly was absolutely great with Toby & very understanding with us!!! Always had great support & advice and would recommend her to everyone. Toby loves her visits so much we booked a further course.

After two of my dogs had a huge fight (in which one was hurt) I never thought they would accept each other again. Just two and a half weeks later, Charly has them relaxing together in the same room. Absolutely incredible, and all using force free, positive methods. There is no way I will ever be able to thank you enough Charly, you're a miracle worker.
