Your days of putting up with your dog’s barking and lunging are over. You’re ready to take action so you no longer have to dread walks. You’re sick of feeling like the only person with a misbehaving dog. You want the very best support to ensure a happy life for you and your dog.
Welcome to our Online Community, supporting you to take your dog from barky to brilliant.
“I work with hundreds of dogs who are barking, lunging and being aggressive on walks and I love watching them become calm, happy dogs so that everyone can enjoy their walks together. The key way for a dog and their owner to be successful on their training journey is to be MOTIVATED, CONSISTENT and SUPPORTED. That is why I developed the Barky to Brilliant Community to give you the very best support and advice to ensure that you and your dog have the best life of happy walks and relaxed pub trips together.”
- Dr Anna Muir, Dog Behaviourist, Founder of Forests & Fetch, and creator of the SET technique for reducing dog reactivity.
Spotlight on Sasha the rescue labrador
Sasha used to be fearful of other dogs and would bark and lunge at them if they passed too close. But look at this video taken by her owner - this is a dog that Sasha hadn’t met before and they calmly met and then started playing!
Here is what Lucy, her owner, had to say:
“Thank you, it’s amazing how much she’s come on! I think even a month or two ago I would never have dreamed of being able to introduce her to another dog like that and we’re so grateful for all the help in getting this far.”
You are not alone on this journey. Anna has helped hundreds of owners to improve their walks with their dogs.
I first approached Anna back in February as my dog Toffee had become reactive in certain situations. Walks had become stressful as he reacted to cars, bikes, dogs and people. Training with Anna has been enjoyable and informative and through her guidance and my commitment to all she has shown us I now have a happy Toffee out and about on our walks. Thank you Anna.
Having worked with Forests and Fetch in support of my reactivate pup l would highly recommend Anna, she is calm and has a wealth of experience in her field and very easy to work with. You will be amazed at the difference in your dog if you follow her guidance.
The behaviour training for our 2 dogs with Anna has been extremely beneficial and has helped greatly to reducing the tension between the two and also the stress it was causing in the house. My wife and I would strongly recommend using Anna for any behaviour issues that you may have with your dogs.
