Good Dogs Testimonials

This is an excellent course, it was presented very clearly and I liked the use of the videos and handouts so that we have something to refer back to. The venue and food are excellent, such a lovely setting and relaxed atmosphere. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to all our dog customers.

This has been a life changing course both personally and learning about dogs. The venue was perfect, Hazel really looked after us and the food was fantastic. Sharon has inspired all of us to go out and start making a difference.

This course has been amazing, I’ve learned so much in these 5 days and I’m so looking forward to continuing my passion, now with more knowledge, understanding and confidence. The course, the venue, the food and the people were all perfect and I am forever thankful.

Thank you so much for inviting me on the Advance Course. I now fully understand what my dog is telling me and I have learnt so many ways to improve my leadership with my dog. I feel very confident with the knowledge I have received during these 5 days that I can hold my own consultations. The venue was so lovely and the food was fantastic!

I would without a doubt recommend this course to anyone who would like to know more about pack mentality and leadership and/or who would like to become a dog behaviourist.

I want to let you know how thrilled I am that I came across your website, because I have learned so much and it's all so simple and practical and makes such sense. My husband and I have always rescued German Shepherds, which is rewarding within itself, but it has at times been difficult when trying to overcome some of the dogs behaviour issues (if only I had known about you then)!

We have, thanks to you an amazing well behaved, well balanced GSD who is a pleasure to walk, is well socialised and house trained and it's all thanks to you. I've joined your Good Dogs! Membership Site which not only has all the practical advice, but there are also the videos as well. Plus the forums where like minded people can share their doggy moments and you yourself are on the forum answering questions which is an enormous bonus. You understand both dogs and their owners and your practical advice works every time, you are a caring, gentle person who wants to share with others the enormous joy that is to be had when owner and dog have a balanced relationship, and it is joyful thanks to you .

I just wanted to say a big thank-you for training us and Nelly & Doris. We can't believe the changes! Doris has gone from a hyper, barking, dog hating puppy, following me around everywhere, to a calm, dog liking puppy! Nelly has gone from a timid, nervous dog scared of paper! to be much more relaxed and friendly.

We are thrilled at the outcome and great approach you've had towards us and our dogs and would advise any one to do this training.

Having no previous experience of owning and training a dog, we could have spent months studying books on dog behaviour. What we did do was the best investment and had a consultation with Sharon Bolt. When we had finished our session, it was as though we had read several books in one sitting. Sharon taught us that the key to understanding a dog was to forget about trying to fit our human psychology to our dog and taught us how to understand our dog's way of thinking instead. It was fascinating we felt we were experts after just one session. Headley has grown into a delightful, lovely-natured and fun-loving teenager. For anyone who invests in a dog, a session with Sharon is the next best investment you can make.
