December 7, 2022Jo is an absolute hero. I found her through an old recommendation in an expats group on Facebook when we were struggling with our former dog. Layla was... read more steadily declining although we couldn't find anything physically obvious. I reached out to Jo when Layla had completely shut down. Jo came and did a full assessment and spent a lot of time reviewing possible scenarios with me. Unfortunately, we lost Layla only a few weeks later to what was likely a brain tumor in the end. But thanks to Jo, we managed to get an amazing two weeks with Layla before she passed. A short while later, working through grief and struggling with our rebound puppy, Jo consulted via Zoom and gave us some incredible guidance and advice that not only saved us from the puppy blues, but certainly contributed to the wonderful dog we have 18 months later! I've recommended Jo many times since. Her thorough understanding of dog behaviour and needs, combined with her experience as a veterinary nurse gives her a very well-rounded perspective. Her advice and guidance has always been thoughtful, simple to execute on our own, and practical - and has consistently yielded incredible results!

September 7, 2022A friend recommended me to Jo as she had experienced success with her dog. I wanted to start Poppy off on the right path at a young age so she... read more was only 10 weeks when Jo first met her. Jo was immediately friendly, helpful and approachable. She came and met myself and Poppy in our house and then worked with Poppy on a 121 basis for several weeks with us meeting periodically in between. Jo was knowledgable, fun and really helpful with all sort of issues like jumping up, barriers in the kitchen and recall. Poppy is on her best behaviour whenever Jo comes round so I know she can behave when she wants too! Jo bought her own dogs too on a couple of occasions so it was great for Poppy to socialise and be taught alongside Jo's dogs. Poppy now has a great sit and stay, will walk to heel and her recall is very impressive for a young pup.I would highly recommend Jo - she's professional, confident and a true expert in her field!

March 7, 2022It's been amazing working with Jo to resolve some issues with Sparkle's over attachment to us and challenging behaviours mostly at home. Within a few minutes Jo got sparkle... read more to do things we thought almost impossible and over a couple weeks or so Sparkle has improved no end. She seems so much happier in herself now she knows her place in the family and feels secure. She has become to value much more the time we spend playing with her and shows us more affection in a more appropriate calm manner. Jo's advice on a better feeding regime and guidance on the best food products has been very informative and eye opening and we have already noticed its beneficial effects to Sparkle no we feed her on raw food. Jo has been so inspirational to us with what she has achieved with Sparkles behaviour and obedience in such a short time. We highly value Jo's advice with her wealth of experience backed by qualifications in dog psychology, training and veterinary nursing. Jo is highly professional but at the same time down to earth, she put us at ease straight away and after just a couple of sessions feels like we have known her for years and Sparkle adores training with her. Jo's love for her animals and those she is working with shines through. Along with her passion and commitment to ensuring dogs and owners have the best possible experience and life together. Jo is truly like the "Mary Poppins" & "Dr Dolittle" of dog behaviour & training. 5 stars is not nearly enough

March 7, 2022We had a very positive experience working with Jo with our 16 month old border collie. We were at our wits end as our dog had become aggressive and it... read more was difficult to be around him in the house. I got in touch with Jo and over zoom she was very clear in what we needed to do. What I appreciated was that Jo was very straight to the point but her advice made sense. Druii has become so much better now and although he is still a work in progress, he wouldn’t be where he is without Jo’s guidance.

Jo came highly recommended to us when we were looking for some behaviour support for our dog when outside of the home. She came to our home and assessed our... read more dog thoroughly before moving outside to her trigger area. Jo went through a number of scenarios and concluded that our dog was probably in need of some extra support and possibly medication. Nothing was too much trouble. She went away researched some options, talked us through them and then contacted our vets on our behalf to talk through her findings and discuss next steps. We have felt totally supported by Jo and would not hesitate in recommending her for any dog issue.

March 7, 2022Like so many people we got a puppy during lockdown . We had dogs previously and I felt confident we could provide for our new addition . I asked... read more Jo from Dogs Logic to come and help settle in our new family member . What a excellent decision that was . She helped us set up a feeding routine ( previously he had access to food all day and was not eating well) and also suggested how to make our puppy feel safe in his new environment. This included suggesting alternative sleeping arrangements for him as well as creating a chill out area for him post walks . We continued with guided walks with Jo and her dogs and teaching Riley his commands . When Jo works with Riley it is amazing to watch her professionalism. He is always delighted to see her but knows he is expected to respond to what is asked of him. Jo makes every session fun and challenging both for Riley and us ! I do not believe Riley would have settled so well without her . Riley is well socialised and responds well to what he ask of him ( most of the time !) We are often stopped by people when we are out who comment on his calm nature . Thank you Jo. I cannot give any more stars . If I could I would . Riley would too. Caroline

March 7, 2022Jo Croft at Dogs Logic, creator of puppy coach, was a saviour when our dog became aggressive towards us. Jo has had years of training and from the moment of... read more our first phone call, I could tell she was also good with people. We had been to two dog trainers that just made the situation worse.

We now have a loving and well behaved dog, which we owe to her expertise and advice. Highly recommend!
