I first met Karen at a dog show where she had a stand and I wandered over thinking that she may be able to help one of my dogs. I had no idea that before the day was out, I would definately need her help with one of them. Karen first helped us when our eldest Irish Setter started showing signs of aggression which was completely out of character for him and he was later diagnosed by a vet with hypothyroidism and treated successfully.
This time it was one of our younger setters who had inexplicably stared to urinate indoors and would not go out into the back garden. It became obvious that something had seriously frightened him out there. I thought of Karen and she spoke to George, who is 2 years old, asking him the questions I had given her.
The answers were very helpful and gave us a true insight into what was bothering him. There were several issues,not just his reluctance to go into the back garden! What amazed me was that from the moment Karen spoke to him, his whole demeanor changed. All his tension was gone. And from being a very sad boy he started to play again and gradually over the course of a few days he started to go out into the back garden once more. He still won’t go out there at night, so it is a work in progress; but Karen was so helpful and continued to reassure him and relay his worries to us and I would not hesitate to recommend her work to anyone.”
