I had an extremely timid border collie who would wet himself if a man went near him or if he was in a situation or place he was unsure of and I didnt know what to do to help him, on the off chance I emailed Nij and was asked if I would like to go along with Chewie on a Friday evening after the main class to meet Nij & Jo. Within about 10 minutes part of his problem was solved - it was me - I was being a mother and trying to protect him from getting upset rather than letting him find out that he could do things by himself.
I signed us up for the beginners class, with patience Chewie was encouraged to do things for himself and progressed to the intermediate class, and whilst Chewie may never be the most confident of dogs he no longer panics in strange places or wets himself when men approach. I no longer have an extremely timid border collie - Thanks to Nij I have a border collie called Chewie who is a happy and more confident and hopefully we will continue to progress.
I cant praise Nij & Jo. highly enough and would recommend anyone to take their dog to Bertie Dog Training.
