Client Stories

★★★★★
As Lily approaches her second birthday I’d like to take this opportunity to thanks Fiona and all the team at the Scottish Canine Wellness for changing our lives around since we have been going over the past 20 months with both our dogs Lily started off as a very nervous anxious pup however working with Fiona and her team her confidence has grown massively I can’t thank all the team enough as it was so upsetting to see her hide in corners under blankets and shake uncontrollable when approached outside the house by both people and dogs. She will now approach others and even initiate the contact.

We have a very energetic flat coat retriever, we felt desperate before we joined classes at Duffy's. Change in ours dogs behaviour is amazing, we understand her so much better, and we see how happier she is when her needs are met. There is still long way for us, but progress is so brilliant that even our vet said that she haven't seen so calm flat coat puppy before. Thank you ❤️

Since we have been bringing Sven to different activities at Duffy’s, Fiona and the Team have been nothing but welcoming, patient and understanding. We recently finished 6 weeks of reactive/sensitive dog sessions and the change was nearly instant. I can’t wait for us to have more adventures together without me being on edge. If you are thinking of signing up to any of Duffy’s sessions, I can’t recommend them enough.
