“Its been quite some months since Tato (anxious Cockapoo) and I worked with Naomi but wow we’ve come a long long way!
We got 8 weeks of support through Naomi and when we started Tato could manage around 5 minutes alone in the house without becoming pretty distressed, now we are easily able to smash 3+ hours where he mostly sleeps the time away!
It takes patience and commitment but so worth it in the end.

Picture of a chilled Tato a good few hours in to being without a human the house!”

“My vet referred me to Naomi at We Teach Pets to help with my Cavapoo, Buddy, who was struggling with anxiety, fear-based aggression, and separation issues. Vet visits were incredibly stressful – he would bark, react aggressively, and need to be muzzled.

Naomi was supportive, patient, and never judgmental. She came to our home, listened carefully, and gave me practical strategies I could start using right away.
From confidence-building games to adjusting Buddy’s routine.

He became noticeably calmer and more settled. Over 12 sessions, we made huge progress -he now stays with other people, goes to cafés with dogs around, and even completed a 6-week group course (something I never thought possible!). Vet visits are now calm, he accepts treats, and the staff have commented on how much he’s improved.

Naomi has made a real difference to both Buddy’s quality of life and my own confidence as an owner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone struggling with their dog’s behaviour. She’s been fantastic.”

~ Jenny with Buddy

“I am so grateful to Naomi and the team for tackling what seemed like an impossible challenge.

My cat had major issues with eating and would actively attack people with food and seek out food. After Naomi’s training, I can now eat food in front of him. He even leaves me and guests alone when we eat!

I’ve seen a monumental change in him and I can only thank Naomi and the team. Truly this has changed my life.

I would 100% recommend WeTeachPets to anyone with pet problems big or small.”

“Mitch had lots of problems due to late socialisation. Outside he lunged and barked at everything, inside he howled when left alone. Mitch was attached to my partner, they were best mates but my partner died suddenly.

Desperate for help, I employed dog trainers who used harsh abusive out of date methods including water sprays, collar tugs etc. This only made Mitch’s behaviour worse. I was told by these so-called professionals “your dog’s got problems”!

I was at my wits end!

Finally, I found Naomi who is a qualified clinical animal behaviourist. What a difference!!!! Naomi wrote up a full report on Mitch and the training began again with patience and kindness to increase his confidence and set him up for success to help him make better choices by reading his body language.

I am so glad I didn’t give up on him as he is such a lovely dog. Until I met Naomi I had felt like a failure with my dog, after watching numerous TV programmes about dog training, with hours of such heavily edited footage that it made everything look like it should have been so easy.

Never give up with your pets, there is always hope. Naomi gave us that hope. She has changed our lives!”

~ Linda with Mitch

“Naomi at WeTeachPets is absolutely amazing!

We contacted her just over a year ago and explained that we needed someone to help us re-build our dog’s confidence due to recently suffering an unexpected bereavement that had really impacted us all.

Our boy had sadly become fearful, reactive and completely unsettled day to day.

With the incredible help of WeTeachPets we have gone from him being unable to leave the house without panicking, barking, and crying at all sorts of triggers; to loving his walks both on and offlead, walking calmly past other people and dogs, and even calmly greeting new people!

Naomi has helped us to have calmer car journeys and we’ve recently even managed a really successful vet appointment where our boy greeted the vet with an excited tail wag and allowed him to do a physical exam. A few months ago, the vet couldn’t even get near him!

Not only does our boy now completely love life and cope so much better in challenging situations, he has become a real dream to live with. Thanks to WeTeachPets, we also feel much more confident supporting him day to day, and continuing the hard work to prevent/manage setbacks.

Naomi’s belief in us never wavered, she had so many new ideas and tricks up her sleeve to add in, as well as an endless supply of information and personal experience.

She has been like our very own cheerleader; celebrating our wins and supporting us through our inevitable setbacks.

We thoroughly recommend her. If you decide to reach out to WeTeachPets, you and your pet’s life really will change for the better!”

“Jasper previously would sprint to the door and bark at even the hint of us leaving him, meaning we had to coordinate our lives to ensure he was never left.

After a few months working with Naomi and her structured training plans that were easy to follow, adaptable to our lifestyle and achievable we are in a very different place. We’ve gradually worked through leaving for a few seconds to now getting a super relaxed dog that’s happy to be left for 2.5 hours! Naomi gave us loads of great advice on separation anxiety and other related problems, was really patient when we couldn’t do as much training as we liked and responded super quickly to any questions we had.

Overall, we are delighted to have a relaxed dog that is happy to be left for a couple of hours, all thanks to Naomi’s training.”

~ B with Jasper

“From the second we got referred we teach pets were efficient with emailing me and sorting out a plan. We started with a dog who was reactive at anything and everything we walked past, bikes, dogs, people. Our dog used to lunge and bark ridiculously non stop. Through the consultation and 2 hours of follow up sessions, our dog now walks nicely and can walk next to strangers with no reaction. We can walk near dogs with no reaction. We have a new dog and it’s all thanks to Naomi. I would reccomend her 10000%. The communication was spot on too.”

“Radley had started to display certain behaviours such as barking at strangers and his recall had completely disappeared.

Naomi wanted to know all about us as a family and Radley so that she was able to see why these behaviours had started. She was personable and professional and was in no way judgemental as I had found a previous dog trainer to be which had crushed our confidence with Radley. Naomi restored that confidence by using her vast behavioral knowledge and expertise.

I cannot reccomend her enough if you are having any issues with your pet that you need some guidance with Naomi will help understand the core reason the behaviour is being displayed and provide a full training plan with constant ongoing guidance.

We found Naomi by referral when we visited our vet but had never considered a behavioralist and thought a dog trainer would be the answer. We were so wrong and Naomi helped us to understand Radley as an individual and not one size fits all.

We now have a fantastic relationship with our puppy and he is thriving and happy.”

~ Sarah with Radley

“I had worked with Naomi before a few years ago with bonding my rabbits and she did a wonderfully thorough job, taking into account their personalities and giving me tailored strategies.

This time, I needed help socialising two feral kittens that I rescued and Naomi’s initial consultation really reassured me that we could make progress (I had been starting to lose hope somewhat).

Her customised plan was easy to follow and extensive. She’s been on hand ever since to answer any questions along the way and seems genuinely invested in the kittens’ progress.

The best thing of all? Her training advice really works! Thanks to Naomi, I now have some valuable tools that will help me train my cats in new things for the rest of their lives. I hope I can work with We Teach Pets again soon 😊”

“We were struggling with multiple issues with Rubi, our Boston Terrier, and had completely lost our way and were getting desperate for help.

We decided to contact Naomi for support; we were initially a little cautious about the remote working. However DO NOT be put off by this. In fact this is an advantage.

We know that if any Dog Trainer made a home visit, Rubi would react completely differently. Working remotely allows Naomi to study Rubi’s (and our) behaviour without distraction.

Naomi listened very carefully to each of our issues over a number of sessions, and followed up each session with detailed written notes which we found invaluable for reference, it is amazing how quickly you can forget what you have discussed! We highly recommend Naomi”

~ Jon with Rubi

“We noticed positive changes in Marlowe’s behavior within the first 24 hours of your visit.

He now very rarely exhibits the aggressive behavior, which was the main reason for us calling you. When he does show signs of it, we implement your suggestions and the behavior stops almost immediately.

For the most part, we are amazed at his quick turnaround and feel you have been a miracle worker!”

~ Marlowe’s parents

“We contacted Naomi about the behaviour of our dog who started showing intolerance of children as a puppy.

All consultations have been via video call to suit our hours which has been very convenient. She asked us to send in videos of the family interacting with our dog, and based on these gave us and our children aged 8 and 9 really clear guidance on how to read dog body language and practical activities to do to improve the situation.

We saw a marked improvement in our dog’s tolerance by following this. On the odd occasion when our dog has had an intolerant incident since then, Naomi has been available on WhatsApp at short notice to give immediate advice, which has been invaluable to give us perspective when it is most needed.

She has also been very helpful with follow-on sessions to address specific behaviours or situations we want to improve.

We feel much more informed, responsible, capable and empathetic dog owners as a result of Naomi’s calm advice (she is great speaking to adults and children alike), she has helped us work on some potentially tricky situations, and it is reassuring to know she is always at the end of WhatsApp if we need her.

I would recommend anyone have a crash course with Naomi before getting a dog to know how best to read them!”
