ABOUT DOG SENSE TRAINING AND BEHAVIOUR

I have always found the behaviours of dogs fascinating since getting my first dog aged 7. In 2017 I realised my knowledge of how dogs manage to live and work with humans so closely but sometimes struggle to adapt and function in this chaotic modern world was too limited. So I enrolled to study with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers Behaviour (IMDTB), a cutting edged innovative institution dedicated to promoting learning and understanding of dogs based in the latest research using only positive reward based approaches always considering the welfare of the dog. Understanding the mechanics of how dogs actually learn and function enables behaviourists and trainers to help with so many behavioural and training issues effectively and with outstanding results. Since then I have had the privilege of working with some exceptional dogs of all breeds, some with severe behavioural issues. I specialise in working with dogs that have a bite history and working with any deaf dog (I have been guardian to four deaf dogs) for behavioural issues, training or just to offer support for those taking on a deaf dog for the first time.

Working with all sorts of breeds of dogs with all sorts of personalities is exciting and fascinating, and I hope to pass on this enthusiasm to my clients. Working to change behaviours can be so rewarding and can be fun, you will be amazed at how perceptive and clever our canine companions are.

I am also a Tutor for the IMDTB working with students training to become Behavioural Consultants.

The day I rang Gabrielle I was in tears ready to re-home Angus. His behaviour was getting me down and he was adding unbearable chaos to family life. I had had enough. Gabrielle’s calm and caring manner immediately put me at ease and we agreed to meet. She worked with Angus over the next few weeks and the effect she had on him was profound. Gabrielle is a fountain of wisdom when it comes to animal behaviour and she explains everything in a grounded , practical way . She helped me see that his behaviour was predominately due to anxiety and I realised that his experience of being in the world was not unlike my own! Gabrielle helped Angus and I to fall in love. She made it possible for me to truly see, understand and accept him as the wonderful animal he is. She has given me the tools and confidence I needed to manage his behaviour and because he and I are both happier things tend to fall into place quite naturally without alot of hard work. I cannot reccomend Gabrielle highly enough.'

Angus

Gabrielle is friendly, full of knowledge and is passionate about dog behaviour. I was referred by a friend after my dog, Ruby, had an increase in anxiety and became reactive to other dogs. Gabrielle was prompt to get back in touch with me and very thorough in getting to know all about Ruby prior to our first meeting. We have now had several sessions which I always come away from feeling inspired and pleased with Ruby's progress. Gabrielle is patient, kind and personal with Ruby and I. She regularly checks up on us via text and gives helpful advice between our sessions. Ruby has improved hugely since working with Gabrielle and is a much happier, calmer dog. She clearly loves Gabrielle and always greets her with an excitable tail wag. I am so thankful for all the time and help we have received and would recommend Gabrielle to anyone.

Ruby

I have trained eight other dogs with no trouble, but I’d never had a dachshund. Mildred was a real nightmare, barking at other dogs, running away from us and pulling on the lead. She wasn’t interested in treats and worst of all she didn’t seem interested in me either. A friend suggested that Gabrielle might be able to help, and she came around to meet us. By the end of that first afternoon Mildred was making eye contact with me. Gabrielle’s methods are very different to the ones I’d used to train previous dogs… allowing the dog to make the right choices herself and teaching Mildred to have the confidence to rely on me. Mildred learned very quickly and after only a few more sessions, she now walks on the lead and is totally relaxed around the house. But she does still bark at the postman!
