We recently checked in our Kelpie (Teak) for a 2 week residential with Vicky. From the very first minute, Vicky made us and Teak feel completely at ease. All of our concerns were taken on board and we were updated with Teaks progress throughout. Any questions were promptly dealt with and nothing was too much trouble for Vicky. She has given us a really strong platform to work with Teak and have seen noticeable results after having her back.
We cannot recommend Vicky highly enough, not only is her knowledge of dog behaviour amazing but her manner and professionalism in all aspects of our experience has been an absolute credit to her and her profession. We look forward to working more with you in the future. Thank you! Ian, Cara and Teak
I contacted Victoria as my 6 month old GSD puppy was reactive to other dogs and pulling on the lead. We've now completed our 3 sessions together and Lena and myself have made amazing progress, she now walks well on the lead and shows no reactivity towards other dogs. Victoria trains handler and dog with calm professional communication, giving confidence to both creating a win win situation.I have absolutely so problem to recommend Victoria to anyone who needs to train their dog
Vicky is an amazing dog trainer, who really knows what she is doing when it comes to training dogs. Her professionalism and knowledge is outstanding. Vicky has helped me immensely with my own dog, who was reactive with both dogs and people. With Vickys training, my dog is now very neutral to both people and dogs and I can take him anywhere with me! Vicky follows through with any training she gives, as she continues to give me guidance with my dog when needed.
Vickys own training with her dogs is incredible and a true credit to her work. She is a true inspiration to myself!
Cannot recommend Vicky highly enough, a totally life changing and positive experience for both me and my dog. Three weeks ago I was struggling with my reactive, over socialised dog and we'd become limited to off lead time in secure fields as he is dog obsessed with a high prey drive and would run to any dog or distraction he saw. After a short residential with Azura Canine, we're on our way to living a completely normal life and he's off lead in some of the most challenging places I'd never imagined we'd be able to go to. If you're struggling with any element of dog behaviour I'd highly recommend to speak to Vicky, a life changer with even the most challenging dogs.
If we could give Azura Canine more than 5 stars then we would! We could not recommend Azura enough! We were struggling with our dog Peppa, due to her reactivity, nerves and territorial behaviour - To strangers on a walk or that came to the house, other dogs, and even noises! We were at a complete loss but knew we wanted (needed) to do something to make some positive changes....and we found Azura Canine (Vicky.) We initially worked with Vicky on a Reactivity Course and made some great progress with Peppa and then following this Peppa went for a residential with Vicky. The relationship that Vicky made with Peppa and the changes in behaviour she made with Peppa, blew our minds! It was also great, when picking Peppa up from the residential that we spent most of our day going through all the new training techniques and she's always been there since for us to ask any questions. We're much happier owners and we have a much happier dog. Just take that step and contact Vicky - You won't regret it!
Fantastic trainer absolutely knows her stuff Vicky has been so amazing for us with our reactive dog, correcting some mistakes from a previous trainer, we thought we'd always have to be on full alert for other dogs all the time never getting to take him to busy places with us, whilst we are still a work in progress we've made such strides forward we actually feel confident and relaxed walking our pup and being able to handle situations.
100% recommend to anyone looking for a trainer from reactive to just basic puppy schooling biggest regret is not starting with Vicky from the beginning.
Me and my wife had some difficulty with reliability from previous trainers and so we contacted Vicky to work with us and our 1 year old GSD.
Vicky was brilliant and went above and beyond, including even being in touch on Christmas day when we had an issue. We would like to thank Vicky for her dedication to our dog and how she always has the best in mind for the dog. She definitely helps to train the dogs as well as their owners!
Vicky was very helpful and supportive when our young dog became unwell and sadly passed away.
We will be using Vicky again when we get another dog and definitely recommend her.
***THE BEST***
When I say that Vicky at Azura K9 has changed my life, I really mean it. Vicky is so remarkable in the way she works as she isn’t just a dog trainer, she teaches people to train their dogs, she sets foundations, boundaries and creates a calmer state of mind with your dog.
My Belgian Shepherd x is dog reactive and Vicky has taught me how to introduce a calm state of mind with Zhivah and has also taught me how to show Zhivah what I want and give her very clear instructions. Vicky is worth her weight in gold, she really is, she has changed my relationship with my dog for the better and I’m so lucky I’ve found such a reliable trainer.
Thank you Vicky 🤍
If you are looking for a trainer to support with reactivity of any sort, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Vicky. I had been looking for someone with well balanced dogs who my spaniel could work around in a controlled way to help his frustration based reactivity (dogs). After struggling to find someone local to me I came across Vickys reactivity course and it sounded perfect. The course has actually surpassed all my expectations. Vicky explains everything clearly and provides you with the tools needed to help your dog and is on hand to offer advice and support outside the sessions. There's no short term fix for reactivity and we have a lot of work ahead to be neutral with both people and dogs, however as a result of Vickys guidance and the course I am much more confident in approaching situations and a more resilient owner. Thank you Vicky.
Vicky’s knowledge and professional approach achieved something we didn’t think was possible with our dog. He has always pulled on the lead and reacted to other dogs. This sometimes proves to be embarrassing and difficult to control not to mention scary for some other dog owners approaching us.
Bearing in mind our dog is now 4 years of age we didn’t think he would take to new methods of training but Vicky taught us how to control our dog in these situations.
We didn’t feel our time with her was rushed and we felt very relaxed about the whole training session. We’ve continued to use Vicky’s instructions and can honestly say that walking our dog is now a pleasurable experience and not an endurance.
I had an overreactive Border Collie and Vicky helped us out tremendously, not only does she tell you how to fix the problem but she explains everything from why the dogs is doing it, how to fix it and why the method is so useful in working to helping you and the dog and she does it in such an easy manner that anyone can understand it and she answered every question I had amazingly and even went well over the time I paid. Worth every penny. Honestly walking is so much less stressful now. Once I get another dog I'm 100% going back to get her to help me train it from the start! Thank you
Vicky has helped me so much with Silas. After being with another trainer and not learning anything about my engagement with him I was struggling and felt hopeless. As soon as Vicky saw us she knew straight away what the problem was. And showed me how to resolve it. Silas had a few issues that I needed guidance with, so we signed up to the ultimate reactivity course and I can not recommend it enough.
My dog that would whine and scream around other dogs and I started avoiding situations. Going on the course gave me loads of confidence to take him everywhere with me and confront all my fears of what I thought could happen. Vicky Is a fantastic trainer.and is always there if I have any problems.
Her own dogs are highly trained and are a credit to her.
