Bailey had a terrible problem with spinning, really badly, for the slightest reason and he just would not relax, he was always on the go with one thing or another, which was beginning to cause problems with myself and my husband, he actually wanted Bailey re-homed.
We were also having problems with Bailey when we took him for walks in the park.
We had spent a lot of money on interactive doggy toys to try to slow him down, then in comes Rosie with some different suggestions. After a while Bailey lay down in the living room. I just could not believe it, he never relaxes in the day time. (Rosie) really cares and I recommend her to anybody having problems with their dog.
I first approached Rosie in November 2010 because of the problems we were having with our 3yr old Border Collie, Bailey.
As soon as Rosie entered our home I felt at ease and by the end of her visit I felt as if we had known each other for years. Within 40 minutes she had shown me how to de-stress Bailey who had a terrible problem with spinning, really badly, for the slightest reason and he just would not relax, he was always on the go with one thing or another, which was beginning to cause problems with myself and my husband, he actually wanted Bailey re-homed.

Right from being a puppy we would let Bailey off his lead and he enjoyed interacting with dogs, playing ball and having a run with other dogs, then one day a man with six dogs he uses for hunting hit Bailey with his stick, since then if Bailey saw him he would run out of the park, on another occasion a dog actually mounted Bailey which left him really nervous of dogs he did not know and he would run out of the park and on several occasional almost got run over, Rosie took us for a walk and taught me how to see the signs of Bailey becoming stressed. We are not yet 100% secure in the park yet but Bailey has started interacting with dogs again and either I realise he needs help or he is now able to tell me.
I know we have still got some way to go with Bailey. I fell in love with him as soon as I saw him but because of his behaviour we had a strained relationship mainly the constant spinning. Since Rosie; we now have a much better relationship and I am sure it will only get better.
Rosie saw myself and Bailey twice and you would think that when she left you would be forgotten until the next visit: Rosie sent me useful information and also took the time to telephone me to ask about Bailey, she really cares and I recommend her to anybody having problems with their dog.
