Testimonial for Rovers Return Dog Training Leicestershire

Sam Is Extremely Knowledgeable

Sam is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of great information to share. I approached Sam, for help and guidance with our dogs occasionally fighting. Sam looked at the events that happen throughout the day, that could contribute stress for our dogs and cause a fight. Since Sam has spent time with us, the dogs have been a lot calmer, there have been no fights. We have also learnt calming techniques and ways to stimulate the mind of a bouncy bulldog. I would highly recommend Sam’s services, and hope that she could help you too. Thanks so much, Sam. Natalie, Paul, Pig, Poppy & Bella :-)

Wonderful Block Of Sessions

Thank you so much to Sam for a wonderful block of sessions to help with our Labrador! Following the behaviour assessment, Sam tailored the sessions to support our Lab but with realistic and achievable tricks and tips that we could do. The sessions were so informative and our Lab really enjoyed them. We have seen huge differences in our dogs' behaviour in a short time with us now to continue with the training. Our understanding of dog's behaviour has improved so much through Sam’s guidance. We honestly can't recommend Sam more highly!

Is Walking Your Dog a Constant Source of Stress? Does Fear Rule Their Life (and Yours)?

You might recognise the signs: the frantic barking and lunging at other dogs or people on Leicestershire's streets, the trembling during thunderstorms , the crippling fear of strangers, specific objects, or even leaving the house.

Living with a dog struggling with reactivity, deep-seated fears, specific phobias, or generalised anxiety can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply worrying.

You see their distress, you feel the tension on the lead, you limit your walks, and you might feel embarrassed or judged.

You just want your beloved companion to feel safe, calm, and able to cope with the world around them.

How Our Fear & Reactivity Program Works:

Our goal is to give you the tools and support needed for lasting change.

The program typically involves:

An In-Depth Behaviour Consultation: A thorough assessment (often starting at your home (in/around Leicestershire) to understand your dog's history, triggers, and specific challenges.
Immediate Management Strategies: Practical advice to reduce stress and prevent your dog from being overwhelmed while we work on modification.
Personalised Modification Plan: A step-by-step training plan tailored precisely to your dog's needs and your lifestyle.
Guided Training Sessions: Hands-on coaching (in appropriate environments around Lutterworth, to teach you the techniques effectively.
Ongoing Support: Check-ins, adjustments to the plan, and encouragement throughout the process, via email, phone calls, follow-up sessions
