Meet Jo Carford - Vet recommended & Award Winning Trainer (2021 - 22) West Sussex 

Are you struggling with your dogs behaviour?

Whether your dog pulls on the lead, fails to come back when they are called, jumps up at visitors or can't settle when you're trying to have that relaxing meal/coffee at  the end of the walk, 121 training sessions would be great for you. 

If your dog isn't keen on being left home alone, has problems getting on with your other resident dog/s or reacts to strangers or visitors in your home, a behaviour consultation would be ideal. 

Jo  – (Full Member of the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) can help. With a solution to fit in with your busy life, Jo offers  tailored sessions that suit you. Whether that be home visits, walks with you and your dog or a session at her secure training paddock. Weekend sessions are available 

Jo uses proven ethical and science based teaching methods. She works on building the bond between you and your dog and understands that every dog is an invidual. Jo specialises in Dog to Dog reactivity but does cover all areas of training.
