It’s All About Teamwork & Results That Last
Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some of my teams have to say about me
“We’ve recently brought our puppy Molly home.
As you know having an 8 week old puppy come home for the first time is quite daunting…and at this point here comes Jo with her superhero cape and training knowledge in tow.
The level of support Jo provides is fantastic, her knowledge is unrivalled and all of this helps towards improving your confidence and seeing the brilliant results in your puppy’s training. We can’t thank Jo enough for her support and how flexible she has been with lesson times.
We will continue to recommend her to everyone!
Thank you.”
— Team Molly
"I cannot praise Jo highly enough.
Her knowledge and skill is outstanding, we are so glad that we’ve all been able to benefit from the training package.
Margot is only 12 weeks old, yet her recall is amazing; recognising the whistle to return smartly to us, which we think is incredible for her age. She also recognises the ‘leave it’ command and is learning to sit and remain on her mat when asked. She has had a ‘lightbulb’ moment with house training and we are so close to achieving this!
Despite the current situation with Coronavirus, Jo has delivered five outstanding sessions, tailored to suit our needs and the whole course has been such a positive experience. Well worth every penny.
Can’t wait to book more sessions when Margot has graduated from puppy school! Thank you Jo, it’s been so much fun - even in lockdown!”
— Team Margot
“This woman is amazing!
Having rehomed a Cockapoo puppy, I was worried we wouldn’t be able to control him due to past experiences with this breed. Boy was I wrong!
Jo had him working miracles; recall, loose lead walking, waiting for a command before eating his food and so much more.
Jo really puts her heart and soul into this job and it’s been a real pleasure to work with her.
Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks Jo, love from Team Archie x”

“We have learnt so much during the three sessions that Jo delivered to us and our puppy has come on tremendously during that time.
Jo is incredibly professional in all that she does and most importantly she makes the sessions fun, interactive and her expertise shines through. She cares about what she does, and in this difficult period of COVID-19, the video sessions did not hamper the progress made.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Jo and we hope that one day you will be able to meet Penny face to face!”
— Team Penny
“I can’t recommend ProgDog enough!
I got a puppy package with Jo when I got an 8 week old German Shepherd puppy.
I was really nervous about getting started but Jo was so lovely and took me right through start to finish with the basics: potty training, teething, the do’s and don’ts of puppy ownership and just overall tips that I don’t know what I’d do without now!
One of my biggest requirements was to have a dog that I was confident to be off lead and now my pup is 4 months old and I was say 90% of the way there! In just 2 months! My friends and family are amazed whenever we go on walks!
A big thank you from Team Ali!”

“I feel like I’ve made a friend.
Nutmeg loved her puppy training sessions. They were good fun and good training for both of us! Thank you.”
— Team Nutmeg
“I really enjoyed our online puppy training with Jo.
She’s so knowledgeable and I totally trust her advice and support. It’s so much fun seeing your pup respond to the training techniques you learn, I can’t wait for more sessions in the future. Thanks Jo.”
— Team Charlie
“Jo is a fantastic person who is such an expert on dogs.
Our adolescent, energetic Irish Doodle has blossomed under her guidance. She has also taught us all a lot about how to help him reach his potential and enjoy his life. And we really enjoyed every session with her - even the one in the pouring rain! Highly recommended.”
— Team Marty
What can I say? Jo is an absolutely amazing person who really knows her stuff.
The importance of getting eye drops into Lenny’s eyes is quite high. After 3 weeks of one on one sessions, I can finally start looking at reducing his medication and administering eye drops as required.
Amongst a lot of other advice and help, we have also worked on recall and have some solid foundations to perfect!
We can’t wait to reap the benefits of that.
This definitely won’t be the last time we enlist Jo’s help! Thank you.”
— Team Lenny
“I really couldn't recommend Jo highly enough.
We booked the recall package when we recently adopted a Romanian street dog, he loves everyone and everything and we wanted to have control over him when we were out and about.
Jo broke the training into manageable steps and has given us all the tools we need to continue our training. We know we have work to do, but feel we are heading in the right direction! Jo is also friendly and great to work with, and she will encourage and support you. Don't hesitate- book!”
— Team Finnley
“Jo is very knowledgeable and professional.
Whilst her aim is obviously to provide help with specific training techniques she always had time to discuss any issues or concerns we had. She is very personable and we enjoyed spending time with her during every session. Our confidence has grown and Luna has most definitely blossomed with Jo’s guidance and we’ve seen some fantastic results. I would recommend ProgDog to anyone.”
— Team Luna
"Friendly, approachable and really good with our 3 month old puppy.
Jo helped and supported us with obedience training with our Hungarian Vizsla Ralph. I would highly recommend Jo as she has made a positive impact on our on going training with our pup and we can see the difference!! Not only that, he loves it!! Thank you Jo!!"
— Team Ralph
"Very pleased with the professional service that was given by Jo. You can definitely tell that she cares and loves working with dogs.
Our dog was an extremely nervous rescue who now has been given a second chance by Jo's wonderful, calm and knowledgeable approach to training. She is always there at the end of the phone if you need any help."
— Team Ross
"We sought Jo's advice when our 11 month granddaughter came to stay with us over the Christmas holiday.
Our extremely friendly, gentle 6 year old Schnoodle Hattie, who had had little experience of living with a toddler, was not happy in the company of our granddaughter.
We found Jo's advice informative and reassuring. She suggested various practical approaches we could use, as well as basic safety advice, so that we could build positive associations between our toddler and pet.
It was, after all, about training the owner as well as the pet!
Jo used Hattie's natural motivation towards food, and introduced us to strategies using positive association activities. We used these exercises over a number of weeks to achieve happy associations between Hattie and our granddaughter.
We we're so grateful to have Jo's expertise to call on. Her knowledge of animal psychology was outstanding and we were impressed with her obvious skills and patience. Hattie is now very happy to have our granddaughter around her: she is now quite comfortable when she visits. We also have Jo's strategies and suggestions to fall back on, should Hattie need more reassurance in the future.
We would not hesitate to recommend Jo as a competent, caring, professional with extensive skills interpreting and understanding animal behaviour.”
— Team Hattie
“Just to let you know what a good boy Chip is being on holiday this week Jo.
Last night, he sat patiently under the pub garden table whilst we ate our meal, having also sat in the cafe at breakfast yesterday beautifully. He’s never done this before, so a HUGE difference to last summer! Thanks so much for all your help!”
