“I am lucky to have known Jane a long time, and have been helped by her and Georgia many times with my furry friends. I know Jane as a friend, a teacher, an understander of dogs and a person I can call on when my human girls are troubling me. Between her and Georgia recently I have been supported through the Christmas build up, they are an awesome duo with such understanding. The inner Wild truly is the best supportive place. I took my 2 girls on an Eco session in between Christmas and New Year and it was great. We got wet and cold, but laughed and jumped in puddles like kids and Jane took us through some lovely experiences, I loved the Hot choacolate ceremony at the end, Georgias homemade vegan chocolate was delicious.. I feel lucky that Georgia and Jane spoke to me first and almost seemed to know what we needed on the Eco session. We had a blast and will definitely book a session next Chrimbo.”

“Ive wanted to write a full review for some time but all I can say is growth and changes happen daily so when is the 'right' time? The Inner Wild have been supporting us with our poor Romanian dog with extreme trauma for months now and she has improved from the moment Georgia and Jane first arrived in our lives. We took notice of what they told us but honestly couldn't really relate to the reality of it at that time, we just did as we were told. That was working. Then we had a lot of unexpected stress happen in our lives. Georgia and Jane explained how they could help me cope better with what I was dealing with and that I didn't need to become overwhelmed. I was gifted a free Neuro Development session to support me and I don't have the words to explain the deep sense of peace and calm this brought to me. It changed everything. It felt like everything I had been panicking about was suddenly so simple to deal with. Excess anxiety which kept me in a state of worry was gone, I could think clearly. Of course this meant that I was able to continue supporting my dog in her recovery from trauma. What it also provided was the ability to really know what was happening for my girl. They had mentioned previously they were showing me how to "grow my dogs brain' but I really had no idea what this meant, I just followed there instruction and was happy with the results. But know I really know and feel it on another level from a personal view point. I can't recommend it enough, I tell everyone about it! In the past month my dad has been having these sessions with The Inner Wild because they told me it can really help with mental decline and memory as well as overall confidence. This is exactly what my dad is getting, The Inner Wild certainly do as it says on the tin! we are all experiencing a new found way of life and relationships and we don't know where we would be without them. Thank you ladies and Geronimo, Blessing, Bryn & Birdy for helping us to enjoy life when we thought there was no hope. LD”

“ I was lucky enough to have met Georgia through obtaining some advice in the past about my dog, since then I’d been back in contact with Georgia after seeing the Inner wild development centre for dogs had now been expanded to also help people too. After the amazing advice I received in the past I wanted to see how Georgia could help me with a bad habit I was dealing with daily that we have now found to have been triggered by past trauma. We started on a Neuro development program, seeing eachother weekly and ensuring to complete my movements every morning that Georgia had set for me. I can now proudly say I haven’t looked back since starting the program and after a few months or working on me with the help of Georgia the bad habit is now a thing of the past and I couldn’t be happier with the way things are still going -heading in the right direction. I definitely feel more confident and secure within myself and I look forward to our weekly sessions. I feel blessed to be on this healing journey with Georgia! Can’t thank you enough for everything xx”

“The Inner Wild healing retreat offered me an escape from daily stress, providing a blend of mindfulness practices and natural surroundings. As a person who would not normally participate in this type of experience, I found the whole weekend enlightening and great to be a part of. The expert-led sessions were very personable and were very peaceful in their content and delivery. I was made to feel very welcome by Georgia and her team and encouraged to participate in group discussions. As a man and new father the retreat experience was very beneficial to our family and offered a great insight into how we understand our relationships within the family, particularly understanding our relationship and behaviours with our 2 rescue dogs. The accommodation was brilliant and gave us a personal space to unwind and relax, whilst still being part of the group experience, and the wholesome meals and diverse activities complemented the holistic experience. The Inner Wild offered our family a really informative and relaxing journey.”

“its taken me a while to write this for many reasons because the experience has changed my life so much and every week their is more for me to make sense of. in a good way! in June I was so low with my mental health, that I contacted Georgia at The Inner Wild to see if she would rehome my dog. I wasn't expecting the response I got, I was expecting to be judged as there are so many dogs being handed in thought id be turned away but that was so far from what she did. she stepped up above and beyond anything I could ever of imagined someone doing, not only through her kindness have I managed to continue to keep my dog and feed him but with her support I have turned almost every part of my life around. she has helped me apply for benefits which I didn't know I was allowed and has given me free therapy sessions weekly to begin with but now I see them every 3 weeks but I know they are at the end of the phone I havent needed to call just text. Due to Georgia & Jane at The Inner Wild Im now moving forward in my life when I really felt there was no hope. They have shared so much and Im now able to be calm & think so much better than I ever did. I leave the therapy with them floating on a cloud, my anxiety isn't anywhere near as bad as it was and I am enjoying walks with my dog again, which is amazing as I was beginning to not get up, let alone leave the house and he seems happier as well. I am not in contact with my family and that makes me feel lonely but I now know that I have a sort of family Georgia and Jane. Im hoping to start to make some new friends next year as my confidence grows. I can't recommend The Inner Wild enough, they rescued me and my dog. Thank you thank you thank you”

“I heard about the Inner Wild through a friend when I was looking for behavioral training with my dog... After an initial consultation I quickly tuned into how G was explaining how Neurological development was as important to humans as it is to canines how these amazing creatures pick up on our own anxieties/traumas that most of us are unaware of... Georgia not only treats our four legged friends, she has an amazing way in treating our own unresolved traumas... As a man I was aware I was carrying "trauma" and was cautious to open up about my own emotional imbalance, I dug deep and asked her to help with my own anxiety as life felt like it just wouldn't stop kicking me down... After the first few sessions and innerstanding our bodies carry the unresolved traumas of life from childhood (I just thought that was all in the past) we quickly started to work on trauma therapy investigating where and how the pain was being stored, healing is feeling, and being with the feeling and acknowledging the feeling was a first step to resolving and healing... I recommend anyone to speak to G for yourself or if you can get your children to engage with this type of therapy, it can be good for any of the conditions the medical profession seem to treat with medication only suppressing the issues. It's a journey and we all need to heal and grow from the Inner Wild... ”

“I have had my 3rd session with Georgia, of The Inner Wild CIC, today and just had to complete a review immediately. I have known Jane from The Inner Wild for years and seen such a change in her and when she recommended I get on board I wanted to but was reluctant. I was reluctant because I have had ‘therapy’ before and tried medication but nothing really worked. Georgia has guided me in these sessions and I love how she says ‘shifts and gifts’ because I definitely get them and it lasts. I mean I feel them for days and now I can actually say I am able to speak. I don’t like doing reviews because I don’t feel I get my point across but I hope if I can convince one person to give it a go I have done my bit. Thank you Jane for nagging me and oh my gosh thank you Georgia for listening and then hearing me. ”

“I called The Inner Wild to help with my dog a few years ago and have been able to tap in and out with Georgia and Jane ever since when I needed because they are so dedicated to helping dogs and the people who love them. We recently had a traumatic event that has effected my whole family and I immediately contacted The Inner Wild. Georgia responded quickly and set up an nature therapy session, I think it’s called something different but I just remember being in nature with my family and suddenly feeling like my old self before the ‘stuff’ happened. Jane led the session and encouraged me to stop and look and I saw my little family smiling and enjoying and being themselves again before the before and I cannot recommend this feeling enough. Georgia and Jane are unique and treat us the same. They listen and set up a package for what we need. Their fur family helped me before to SEE stuff with my dog but they have developed their knowledge further and can help us too. I am excited for our next session because so far day to day life feels better and my family say the same. I cannot recommend them enough for dog connection, people connection and YES for understanding all round.”

“Quite honestly I am not sure where myself, my family or my canine companions would be without The Inner Wild. If you are struggling to find peace and harmony within your home with the dogs you love and live with , contact Jane and Georgia. I first contacted The Inner Wild to help me with my two Romanian rescue dogs who I had for 7 years- proof that time is not a healer… After I was unwell during the last trimester of my pregnancy and a c section to deliver my son safely into the world, I was in short , traumatised. I had gone into fight or flight just to cope with each day and I felt totally horrendous. My dogs behaviour had always been quirky and having worked with dog trainers and behaviourists before nothing ‘worked’. What a waste of money , time , energy. It was never going to work as my dogs are traumatised from their start in life. For the first time I truly understood the inner workings of my beloved dogs ( that came as a ‘bonded pair’. ) Again, never were and never will be. Georgia worked on me before we worked with the dogs , and 2 months later the hypnosis helps me daily. A breathe a fresh air when a previous dog trainer suggested my anxiety was the reason my dogs were disobedient … saying , as a ‘joke’ ‘ it’s not my fault you’re a nutter.’ Words that engrained into my brain everytime my dogs barked at another dog outside the house. Very damaging and hurtful and very very untrue ! Fast forward to two months after our first meeting … one of my dogs is thriving now she is finally in the right environment …! She has been re housed for all of the right reasons and The inner wild continues to support me in de coding my beautiful boys behaviour. Georgia and Janes knowledge of both dogs and people ( & babies!) has helped me and my family in ways I cannot explain. Just don’t waste your money paying for trainers when it just isn’t what your dog wants!! Jane and Georgia have become my friends and myself, my husband and my son recently joined them on their annual retreat … it was truly amazing and a weekend I will never forget. Thank you for bringing so much to my life in so many ways, I am eternally grateful. X”

“Spent a wonderful weekend with Georgia and Jane (and of course their gorgeous dogs) at their summer camp in Essex. Truely mind opening, have come away with a different insight to making sure my dog is happy. ”

“I contacted The Inner Wild when I felt both the physiology in myself and my dogs was off. And I can honestly say I don’t know what I would have done without the help of Georgia and Jane who knew I needed help , and fast. 2 days later they were with me despite a very long round trip. Georgia assessed me on the phone prior to the visit and established my unbalance and offered to relax me via hypnotherapy before working with my dogs. This was phenomenal and has served me well so far! Just try it! I have had my ‘bonded pair’ for 7 years and recently noticed an increase in reactivity towards their surroundings, in and out the house - and most distressingly towards each other. Take this from me- do not trust ‘bonded pairs’ are truly bonded pairs- I’ve learnt the hard way. They never were, never will be. The insight given on the day has unlocked years of unexplained behaviours from both of my beloved dogs. They have been suffering , I now know what they have been saying all these years!!!! I have tried trainers , behaviourists and guess what nothing worked. The inner wild is truly what dogs and now people need to heal and be heard. Thank you inner wild - you have changed my life. The inner wild is what you and your dog need. ”

“It seems I will be leaving a review after every session with you Georgia as I can’t believe what is happening in my life and how lucky I am to be healing at this age! I want the whole world to know that it is possible to feel great so easily. I don’t think u will ever imagine the immeasurable amount of relief/release u’ve given me today, WHAT a journey home, I howled my eyes out but I mainly smiled from ear to ear, as the situations were all brought back one after the other and my learning loud and clear ‘there’s nothing to forgive’ I’m absolutely mind blown, then it came to me I’m so glad I got my answer whilst on this journey with you. I believe it is healing my family too. I came to you with an open mind, not knowing what to expect, but trusting you. With you as my life guide, your teachings, for me, have been so quick, successful, mind blowing. But nothing prepared me for yesterday. Wow! the healing I received without voicing the particulars of my, deeply suppressed- sadness/hurt/guilt, again I left you dumbfounded, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and am excited for our next session.”

“ I met Georgia through my love of dogs and have attended many of her workshops which are amazing. I heard that her and Jane have recently expanded their knowledge and services so I initially went to see Georgia 5 weeks ago at The Inner Wild Development Centre for Dogs & People to help me with a ridiculing inner voice I have lived with for decades, and also to give up sweets which I was addicted to, craving them like mad! Immediately I felt lighter, like a light switched on and that I could do anything I put my mind to - mind blowing and overwhelming. I also had no desire to eat sweets. I was very surprised at how easy it was to change something which had been a big issue for me for so long. In the process, my migraines ceased. I enjoyed the experience so much and Georgia intrigued me with her knowledge and stories of her healing journey in therapy with firsthand experience, which made me wonder what else she could help me with. It had never really occurred to me that anything was really wrong until I began to feel better. I decided to start a program with Georgia as my therapist and life coach and she went on to help me with a difficult relationship I was having with a colleague at work, which had been causing me alot of stress. Again, immediately she resolved these feelings of anxiety and frustration straight away. She also helped me feel motivated and full of energy, I had felt stuck and tired for a long time. I went home and mowed not only my grass but my neighbours also! The ease at which Georgia was able to improve my mental and physical state and relationships in life just made me want more! We have recently been working on other negative emotions which have been affecting me for most of my life. I no longer feel angry or have outbursts of frustration. I am not fearful at all- the boogie man has gone, I can sleep with the light off for the first time in my life and my fear of spiders has gone and we didn’t even work on that! Im look forward to my next stage of life with my new found confidence and peace of mind. The psoriasis which I have suffered with for over 50 years has cleared also. There are other more personal issues which I no longer live with which is such a relief. I am generally so much calmer, happier and excited for where Georgia will guide me on my new path at the age of 72!! Georgia says I look like I’ve had Botox! I would not have dreamed it was possible to feel this good! I’m now tapering off of anti depressants I have been taking for 25years. Georgia has helped me feel better than the tablets ever have in just a few sessions. Been five days now of just taking half dose, feels good, couple of very short periods of rattiness and thought oh is that coz of half dose?, but dismissed the idea straight away and got on with life . I’ve been on these depressants for 25 years and always felt too afraid to stop in case I went back to the crazy woman. I now feel, with Georgia’s teachings and guidance I have the courage , determination and strength to carry this out. She is genuine, caring, knowledgeable, experienced and I trust her implicitly to have my best interests in her heart and mind. She doesn’t just talk the talk of trauma and mental health healing, she is walking the walk having recovered from severe mental health issues and trauma and really knows her stuff! Highly recommend this service for anyone struggling in any way with anxiety, depression, anger, fears, phobias or for general support in life. I was going to say ‘finally’, but I’ll change that to ‘at this moment in time’ because I know there’s a lot more learning and growing to do and I am happy and eager to receive it. I am happy for my full name to appear in my feedback, it all sounds so bland, yet I feel it deserves a full band of trumpets blasting to celebrate such a huge and fast learning, growth and development! I cant thank you enough Georgia xxx Pauline Paton ”

“When I first met Georgia Innerwild, I wasn’t aware of what NLP Therapy was. Georgia, is the most kindest, caring person I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, and I can honestly say what a true gift she has given me using her expertise and skills in NLP. Georgia spent so much time explaining what NLP was all about, and from the first moment she started to explain, I was hooked. I wanted to find out more. I still want more…….. After my session, I felt different immediately, I can honestly say that. I felt lighter and happier and different, it was a surreal moment. Georgia worked on my weaknesses that I wanted to work on. We discussed what I wanted to work on prior to the therapy. We worked on my fear of driving to unfamiliar places, (I was actually going over to a friends’ house the day after therapy, a journey I’ve dreaded and avoided like the plague for years. However, the very next day, I actually got in my car with no anxiety and just drove). There was no drama, I drove like I was going to the local supermarket, expect this time I was conscious of my surroundings, and not sub-conscious as I normally am. I didn’t do this deliberately, it just came to me, something I have not been aware of prior. We worked on my relationship issues. I have to say when it was time for Georgia to leave, I felt like I was a million miles away from the Lisa that started this journey. That night the difficult relationships I’ve had with certain people was cleared. I actually felt very calm and the conversations ran freely. It’s now bee nearly a week since my therapy session, and I can honestly say, everything is so much clearer to me. After the therapy I was given the opportunity to tap into my sub-conscious mind which was mind-blowing, I was then offered to get rid of any energy that didn’t belong to me, this was so fascinating. Afterwards I felt even better, I continue to eradicate energy on a daily basis that doesn’t belong to me, I also continue to grow using all of Georgia’s advice. My husband agreed last night, I am calmer, and we both get the benefits from that. I know this review sounds like it’s too good to be true, but from the moment the therapy ended (which was one session) I have felt so much better to have the strategies Georgia has taught me, so that in the event I stumble across a situation that I start to feel uncomfortable, I can tap in and eradicate before it starts. Not that I’ve need to do that, I can honestly say – so far so good. I can’t wait for another session. This has literally changed my life. I really don’t want to write a review like this because I want to keep her all to myself, but of course that wouldn’t be fair to others. I can’t recommend Georgia enough, she is my earth angel! ”

“Had a fantastic weekend with Georgia, Jane and their dog family at the summer retreat. Every time I spend time with these guys I learn so much about myself and my dog. It's truly enlightening If you want to understand more about doggy communication and how you can help your dog live in our world I would highly recommend Georgia and her family. ”

- Jan

“What a fantastic time was had by all at the inner wild retreat,this weekend. Georgia's inner standing of both dogs and people,was amazing. Georgia,Jane and team made us all feel so welcome. The group of people That attended were from many different walks of live,but we were all there for the same reason,to not only help and understand our dogs but also ourselves. We were greeted by the novel way of making our breakfast on a firepit,this was an instant conversation starter,that eased us all into the morning. This was followed by some yoga lesson by the lovely Denny. Feeling relaxed we were eased into the inner standing of our dogs and ourselves. Talk about an eye opener,Georgia was amazing,you could see that she came from an inner standing,from her own life experiences. Sha was so down to earth and humble,but very knowledgeable,she instantly drew the group in ,what an experience,lots of light bulb moments. From the yoga to the knowledge of dogs and humans to an amazing lunch cooked on the firepit,getting to know everybody,followed by a group session of drumming led by the lovely Denny. Ending the day round the firepit after another amazing meal,with a few glasses of wine and interesting conversations, I think I can speak for all that attended,that the following day of forget bathing,"no bathing costumed needed" the rest of the day was just as amazing. I will definitely be attending the next retreat. Thankyou for an amazing weekend Georgia and team.”

- Teresa

“Thank you Georgia and Jane for a great and insightful weekend retreat. It was something i have never done before but it was a fantastic experience. I learnt so much about my dog, why it demonstrates certain behaviours and how my behaviours have an real effect on the connection and respect we have with our dogs. Also great food, yoga, forest bathing and drumming therapy all in aid of helping us manage our frustrations. Can highly recommend 'The Inner Wild ' and can't wait for next year”

- Lynn Longland

“I can’t recommend this business highly enough. Georgia has helped me immensely with my two dogs (formerly known as the kray twins). I was at the end of my tether with my two dogs, lunging, aggressiveness etc. after talking to Georgia on the phone I had finally found someone who “got my dogs”. She works tirelessly with me and is always on the end of the phone if I need her. I have just come back from my second dog retreat and once again I have been blown away by her knowledge and experience all tied up in a ribbon of fun, mindfulness and kindness. Thank dog for Georgia and her team.”

- Debbie Dalziel

“I have recommended Georgia before when her and Jane came to assess my dog, but I have just been on their retreat and am buzzing. From the dog information and learning, to the yoga, drumming and forest bathing it was end to end value for money, not to mention the food, all cooked on the fire! The site is perfect with all necessary amenities and what I forgot, Georgia’s team had a spare! They are welcoming, kind and really helped me feel part of a lovely group of people all willing to take a deep long look at themselves to help their dog and themselves live happier balanced lives.”

- Jo

“Just wanted to say how wonderful it was when I had an amazing assessment with my dog and Georgia. we’ve continued on with educational walks and It’s been so informative to learn all about how she can be calmer around other dogs. The service & support I've been given after is really first rate. Thank you so much for your help and advice x”

- Dawn Tyler

“The Inner Wild team have been helping me settle my Rommie rescue for some time now and I am blown away by the magic that has happened. There have been ups and downs, but all the time Georgia has been on the end of the line to help and reassure. I have had dogs before but this relationship is completely different thanks to everything the team have guided me through. My pup has a long way to go, so do I, but we are doing this together and I have had to have Georgias ‘inner standing’ of myself to innerstand my pup. The behaviourist I first went to had me pushing my pup with a muzzle on because it was not coping and it was not comfortable. Now my pup looks at me with so much trust and I am grateful to be on this path with Georgia and her team, including the lovely dogs that have helped my pup feel safe and part of a family; G and B&B thank you furbabies.”

- Kristie

“After working with a couple of dog trainers and feeling deflated that our problems were escalating I saw a Facebook post about a workshop ‘speaking your dogs language’ I felt a workshop would be great but wasn’t going to cut it for us so I messaged Georgia at the inner wild and told her my situation. She came to our house with Jane and assessed the dog whilst filling me with her knowledge that she’s learnt from her many years of training and experience. Her training was very different to the old school type where we are taught how make a dog obedient through fearing or ‘respecting’ us as their master or ‘treating’ them every time they please us. I felt with my dog, I needed to heal her on an emotional level before any training was going to work. Everything Georgia said resonated with me. I attended her workshop which was very educational & inspiring. I am fascinated by her interpretations of dog language during our sessions with her & her therapy dogs. The dogs teach exactly what the dog student needs maybe in a way humans can’t. Georgia & Jane facilitate & intervene precisely when they need to. We call it doggie school. Our wired, anxious, anti social puppy comes away educated and calm as we are too. You get given homework to do which helps the process and like anything you get out what you put in. Georgia supports us all the way and has a very calm loving nature but is assertive & in full control. Our anxious puppy goes to Georgia, Jane and the therapy dogs happily. It’s ok having an obedient dog, but I’d rather have a balanced, happy dog. ”

“I attended the weekend retreat with Georgia and her wonderful team. The site was beautiful, had all amenities and the team made sure we had everything we needed- including some amazing food!! During the weekend we were blessed with some great speakers and demonstrations such as zoopharmacognosy and canine interaction- being able to ask questions and see these processes in action was so insightful for the group. I would highly recommend the retreats for anyone who is curious about dog behaviour, psychology, trauma and dynamics- with guidance from the inner wild experts, you won’t be disappointed”

“Having had non rescue dogs and with the slogan "adopt don't shop" when it comes to pet ownership, I decided on going down the rescue route and adopted a cross breed from Spain (the adoption took place through a UK charity). When we got our 16 week old puppy I knew there would be a lot of hard work needed but didn't truly appreciate how much. Our little one has separation anxiety and almost sticks to me like glue and has a destructive side when left alone. She even escaped her crate and to this day we have no idea how. I found CDC purely by chance but something about them resonated with me and I gave them a chance. All I can say is wow. Georgia and Jane came around for an assessment and didn't clock watch and explained everything in a clear, simple way which means we can communicate with our dog in her world and not ours. To cut s long story short, our cross breed is stuck at 8 weeks and because she's a rescue, she has development issues and missed out on a lot of nurturing which is what we have to now do. Georgia and Jane only assessed our puppy 2 days ago and already we are seeing small results. Rome wasn't built in a day and you need patience and love to rehabilitate but CDC has been there and are always at the end of the phone. Both ladies are absolutely tremendous in what they do, how they treat you and your troubled pet also. They affirmed what I had previously believed and in them, I have found not only a passionate team but people who care and who will offer support. Seeing CDC was the best decision I ever made and even our son in on board and looking forward in helping with Luna's rehabilitation.”

- Dan Boyle

“I spent an evening with Georgia and some of her team, both human and canine, and WOW! She explains their approach to dog behaviour and therapy so clearly. Everything really made sense for me, including why I react the way I do and why my dogs react differently. To then have a practical demonstration really consolidated what had been explained. I cannot wait to start my journey with Georgia and her team. ”

- Jane

“Just had a wonderful weekend at Messing with the InnerWild gang and guests. Beautiful scenery, relaxing environment and great food cooked on a camp fire. I always learn so much with Georgia, Jane and their lovely dogs. Its fascinating to get an insight into a dogs world and hopefully learn to talk dog with these lovely people showing us the way. Would definitely recommend these events for anyone who wants to understand their dog and help them cope in our human world.”

- Jan

“I have just come back from a weekend retreat organised by Georgia at the Inner Wild. Wow, what an amazing time I had, my mind is blown, as always. The knowledge that Georgia and Jane impart to others is truly exceptional and I will be always grateful to them for ensuring that I can be "heard" by my two dogs and the insight that they give me into their world. Georgia has a way of ensuring that the knowledge she has is not only for your canine friends but also enables you to understand people and yourself more. The Inner Wild staff are very patient and have as much time as you need to answer any questions, you can tell that imparting this knowledge to others is Their life's work. Apart from the incredible insight that they pass to you, the weekend was full of fun, good food, great people, camping, nature, nurture and I was able to take a rest from my busy mind. I will definitely be going on the next retreat, hurry up please.”

- Debbie Dalziel

“I have just attended the Inner Wild’s first weekend retreat and it was glorious! The site was ideal, with our own, enclosed, private area for our group to enjoy. There was an abundance of food expertly cooked on the fire by the team. There was a guest speaker and several informative talks with practical demonstrations. It was a real eye opener. On top of all the insights gained and the relaxing weekend away, Georgia has a real knack for knowing what people will gel well just as much as she knows what dogs will. As someone who is quite shy and not normally up for spending weekends with strangers, I could not have met a nicer bunch of people and would happily attend another of these retreats. Amazing job Inner Wild team.”

“I attended the weekend retreat at Messing and was really impressed with the way it had been organised. Sadly a couple of demonstrations were cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances but it did not impact at all on the enjoyment had by all. I was particularly interested in the talk and demonstration by Victoria Dorman (Applied Zoopharmacognosy). To see an animal choose the herbs it feels it needs was fascinating so much so I have booked my boy in for a session. Jane and Theresa did a fantastic job in feeding us all delicious food. The site was lacking in washing facilities but given it was a two day one night stay that didn’t really matter. The site itself for anyone interested in wild flora and fauna could not have been better. Georgia and Jane make a great team with no question going unanswered. To be able to witness first hand the nuances in dog communication whilst having it explained by Georgia and Jane was priceless. Clearly I have not even scratched the surface at this point in time but alreadyI feel I am better placed to help my boy. I’m looking forward to the next workshop in July. Big thanks to all who made it a great weekend.”

“The workshop on Sunday was fascinating watching different dogs behaviour and trying to determine which character they were. Just as you begin to come to a conclusion some would show a behaviour you wouldn’t expect for the character you had in mind. It reaffirmed for me the need to watch even more closely what the dog is trying to tell me. The speed with which the dogs were able to determine what character the humans were was mind blowing. I am making inroads with my boy but we still have a long way to go and whilst I am chomping at the bit to get him where he needs to be I know I have to give him the time he needs. I have no doubt that with Georgia and Jane helping me we will get there.”

- Sharon Verdon

“Before we even got our puppy we contacted & were supported by The Inner Wild team. We then got our pup & had Georgia & Jane visit when he was only a few weeks old. Found out the type of dog he was in personality characteristics. Found out he would need to be treated a bit differently for other dogs so he would have the most rewarding life. Its has been a few hard months & our dod will always be a strong minded dog, but he us a joy to be with & that is thanks to the work with The Inner wild & their constant support they give us. ”

- Sara

“The workshop exceeded all of my expectations- it honestly opened up my eyes to a completely different way of looking at and communicating with my dogs! It was just fascinating and Georgia and Jane are just amazing and so experienced. I learned so much and can’t wait for more workshops to learn more! ”

- Lorna

“I'm blown away by the information and the presentation at the InnerWild workshop I attended today. It was an introduction to Canine Trauma and Behavior Therapy and i found it to be a totally holistic experience. I highly recommend this workshop for the future, especially if you want a holistic approach to understanding your dogs needs. It teaches us about ourselves too. ”

- Denny

“All I can say is thank goodness I found Georgia, Destiny, Geroninmo, Jane and her lovely dogs. We still have a long way to go but for the first time in four years I feel like I’m getting somewhere with my troubled boy. Thank you”

- Sharon

“Visited my second workshop yesterday and, as always, it was insightful and very helpful. Although I've trained dogs in the past and studied dog behaviour and have been involved in rescue and around dogs all my life, the workshops made me rethink many 'old-style' beliefs. Always a pleasure to attend and learn more. Thank you Inner Wild xx”

- Debra Brown

“I have just attended my first seminar with Georgia. I've aways been around dogs and was brought up with the yelling and threatening method. I have always wanted to truly understand our furry members of the family, and being in a house full of rescues, each with their own issues, I have felt really frustrated that I do not know enough. At the seminar saw a different approach to understanding dogs and it felt so right to me. It was a light bulb moment. Georgia and her team are amazing and I hope they will let me learn more from them in the future. I would totally recommend them to anyone seeking help or just wanting to learn more about the dogs in their life. ”

- Tracy

“Attended my first seminar with Georgia... and it won't be my last!. What an eye opener!!. If you want your dog to be it's true self you NEED this lady. The Inner Wild Team are a lovely, welcoming, friendly, genuine team of people that are TOTALLY dedicated to helping dogs and owners communicate. In a VERY short time you can see a difference in the way your dog reacts to you... you're understanding what your dog is saying to you... AND what you're saying to your dog!!. This lady is a God send!. If you have a problem with your dog, or just want to have a better understanding of what your dog is saying to you.... Georgia and her team are the answer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

- Tracy

“Attended a very informative and interesting seminar by Georgia. A completely different approach to dog behaviour and one that makes great sense. Am anxious to learn more from this passionate behaviourist. Fully recommend Georgia and suggest anyone interested in dog behaviour attend her seminars. ”

- Karen

“Attended my first workshop today not knowing what to expect. I've been living with dogs all my life and have a great interest in dog behaviour but felt that, although I'm fairly knowledgeable, there's always more to learn. That really hit home at this workshop. I realised that I've only just scratched the surface of dog behaviour. I learnt so much from Georgia at the workshop and it was such a fascinating day the time just flew by. Georgia is welcoming, really knows her stuff and has a great ability to pass her knowledge on in an interesting way. Jane was also extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They were happy to answer any questions from the group. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be signing up to learn more.”

- Debra Brown

“Before we were introduced to Georgia we were at a loss. Our rescue dog, Stanley had eaten our sofa, our bed, my DVD collection, several books, a brand new dining table, i could go on. We had been to two trainers, one whom told us they would have gotten rid of him after the first sofa incident; the other had been great but Stan was becoming reactive to every dog in the training sessions and we were too embarrassed to go back. Georgia took one look at Stan and his adopted sister Edith and could see two rescues that were deeply traumatised. We have since attended Georgia's innovative training seminars, engaged with her rehab programme and been for socialisation walks. Stan and Edith are far from fixed, such is their trauma but we are unpicking, piece by piece the trauma these guys have suffered. We cannot thank Georgia enough for her nurturing pep talks and peace she brings to us. Each week is a new learning experience and we find out new things about our dogs every day thanks to her!”

- Matthew Hogg

“I recently attended the inner wild workshop . I had my eyes opened to a completely new way of thinking and a far better understanding of my dogs and their behaviour. Georgia's knowledge and passion for helping dogs and their owners is second to none. I hope to learn more from georgia in the future who is s patient teacher and her understanding of where and why bad behaviours in our dogs develop and how to help them is great. Thanks Georgia your a life saver.”

“Our Romanian rescue dog was 18 months old, and we had her since she was about 6 months when I contacted Georgia. Jolie was found on the streets alone when she was about 4 months old and taken to the sanctuary in Romania. So we know nothing about her first 4 months of life, and her first 6 months were totally disrupted. I contacted Georgia as I was concerned that when meeting people, but especially other dogs she was getting over excited. It was more than a wagging tail and not a happy excitement, almost a panic. Georgia later explained that she would be unable to hear any commands from me when she was in this state. I was worried that if this carried on she may get herself in trouble if she met any unbalanced dogs. As soon as I had a response from Georgia to my email I knew she understood. Previously by some trainers I had been told "its great to have an excitable dog". Georgia explained that the crucial developement stages are in the first 6 months of a dogs life, a time of scarey disruption for Jolie. Luckily for us Jolies problems showed themselves as over excitement, it could just as easily have been agression. We are now 2 months into Jolies therapy. We have had to change a lot of our normal routine and behaviour with Jolie, also include daily calming sessions. We have also had sessions with Georgia and Jane, and some well adjusted dogs to teach Jolie how to behave. Jolie has come so far, better than I could have hoped, we still have a long way to go but her progress has been amazing. I have learnt so much from this journey with Georgia and Jane, and I now look at all dogs in a whole new light. I would whole heartedly recommend Georgia, a lovely lady who is passionate about her job, knows what she is talking about and is always there when you need her. ”

“Working with Georgia at the Innner Wolf is a no brainier. Thanks to her my dog remains open and available and not shut down and withdrawn. ”

- David T Mensah

“Thanks to Georgia at the inner wolf for helping me become the successful leader my dog needs. She helped me identify what I was doing wrong and helped me see and understand my dog’s natural behaviour. Brilliant ”

- Sharon Winters

“Would never go back, contacting Georgia at the Inner Wolf is hands down the best decision I’ve ever made!!!! I’ve got a new dog one the same body with the best personality. ”

- Lauren Hall

“All I can say is thank you and even that doesn’t feel like it’s enough. I travel from south London to Essex to get the best training available. The communication between me and my dog has brought in a whole new dynamic to my family. I can’t recommend the Inner Wolf highly enough!”

- Michael Prempeh

“Georgia is brilliant - I wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone else. The results are brilliant and now I have an even deeper bond with my boy. Thank you ”

- Tom Mitrulevicius

“Georgia at the Inner Wolf is remarkably brilliant. I have a very challenging dog, and was at the end of it with not knowing what to do and feeling totally helpless. She saved my life and my dogs life. She’s supremely supportive and I mean that with no hyperbole. Do it, don’t even think twice - you won’t regret it! ”

- Shareen Swainson

“I went along to Georgia's recent two day workshop. I am familiar with the Shaun Ellis approach and his work and wanted a 'refresher'. Also, you never stop learning and understanding more layers of it, like science. Georgia's in depth knowledge and understanding of this approach is superb. I feel she also gives it her own 'Georgia twist' with her human empathy and compassion to human emotional psychology. She can dip into wolf, dog and human psychology and it all gels together nicely. Her passion and love for her work and dogs shone through the workshop. I most certainly went away with more knowledge and understanding. Thank you.”

- Nicola Dale

“Have just attended a 2 day workshop with Georgia. It was fascinating, I feel like Georgia has opened up a whole new world of understanding dogs to me. She has a wonderful way explaining and it’s made me eager to learn more. Thank you for opening my eyes ”

- Susan Marriott

“Just completed a 2 day workshop with Georgia after having had a couple of one to one sessions quite a while ago. What I learnt from the one to one sessions has already helped me a great deal with my dogs but workshop has been a great reminder and Georgia shares such a wealth of information that bring regular lightbulb moments when she speaks of certain behaviours. It’s unlike any other dog training I’ve been to but makes so much sense when you start to take it all in. Would highly recommend, Georgia’s passion for animals and understanding of their needs is so clear.”

- Alice

“I have attended a couple of educational walks with Georgia. They are a fantastic experience for anyone who would like to understand their dog on a higher level. Georgia makes the walks very interesting. I have learnt so much about a lot of dogs different characters and why they behave the way that they do towards each other. With my own dog it has been a great help in understanding her position and her behaviours. Also I’ve learnt ways on changing some of her less desired behaviours and she has improved and relaxed because of them. Georgia is very passionate about dogs and her love for them shines through. I thoroughly recommend innerwolf and look forward to attending one of her seminars very soon. ”

“I recommend Georgia 100%. My story...we rescued a Springer last August. Without going into too much detail, she was about 16 months old, in a terrible, physical state and had recently had pups. Maggie has a beautiful, gentle nature but mentally, she was anxious and hyper and a nightmare to walk. But the biggest challenge was her reaction to cats. She would squeal and lunge at them whenever she spotted them. Without knowing her history and having 3 skittish cats, every day was a nightmare and it was nigh impossible to calm her down. I was in a constant state of heightened anxiety and began to wonder if, now that she was physically fit, was I doing a mis-service to both Maggie and the cats (2 rescues and 1 adopted). I felt that I was losing my way and someone recommended a behaviourist. I was recommended to contact Georgia, who came to my home and spent several hours with us. Georgia is a beautiful soul, very open and honest with a sense of humour too. Her knowledge astounded me and I learnt so much about Maggie (and myself), how to understand her behaviour, her need for healing and balance and how to calm down myself! Georgia promised to return, as it was difficult to fully assess Maggie on the day. On her second visit I wasn't sure how we were doing but she reassured me that we were on the right track and gave me more advice. We still have a long way to go but Georgia gave me the confidence to continue and with the knowledge that she is there if I have any concerns, I feel I am not alone. I am so grateful for her support, she has been our saviour and in fact I 200% recommend her. ”

- Denise

“Following on from group work with Georgia we were lucky enough to have some LIFE CHANGING 1-2-1 sessions with our Labradoodle puppy. The expert guidance and feedback from Georgia has turned our experience of puppydom from something to be endured and survived to an absolute pleasure and joy. Walking him is no longer a stressful nightmare and he is no longer excessively and anxiously barking!!! Can't thank you enough for helping us to be better puppy parents!”

- Anna Bloye

“Recently attended an inner wolf workshop headed by Georgia. Was a great session where we were challenged to identify the the natural identities of dogs in a very interactive environment. Georgia is very knowledgeable and is generous in sharing with others her expertise. We have recently rescued a dog that has developed dog reactivity and the workshop provided us with a deeper understanding of our dog that will support us going forward. ”

- Julie

“I recently attended an Inner Wolf Workshop. It was excellent and exactly what I was looking for . I have recently taken on a second rescue dog - i wanted to better understand the dynamics of a multi dog household and which types of dogs are better suited living together. It was so interesting and insightful and helped me to understand this complex topic. Georgia delivered the training in a way that was easy to understand. She was very knowledgeable and provided an interactive session, ”

- Rachel

“I recently attended a 2day seminar with Inner Wolf and her knowledge and experience has been a revelation. Inner Wolf doesn’t just teach you how to train your dog, you will learn how to bond and build trust with your dog. The techniques allow for much better communication, understanding and trust between human and dog and allow for easier training. Great for you and your dog. ”

- Lisa

“Just attended a 2 day workshop with Georgia which was fantastic! Georgia is so passionate and knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviour and psychology, and gave me a much deeper understanding and confidence. I’m really looking forward to attending anymore workshops Georgia does in the future! Thanks Georgia Xx”

- Caroline

“We adopted a dog with extreme anxiety and control issues. Inner Wolf offers an enlightening experience enabling a better relationship with your dog, using simple & easy techniques. Georgia is always on the end of the phone to provide support and answer questions. I highly recommend this method for distressed, anxious or seemingly unmanageable dogs, there’s hope out there.”

- Lisa Creamer

“If you get a chance to attend one of Georgia's workshops I cannot recommend them enough. They are relaxed, informal and packed with information. She has a deep knowledge and affection for dogs that is enthusiastic and infectious. I could listen to her all day ”

- jane peck

“Thank you Georgia and your amazing canine team! The workshop and puppy proofing session were so incredibly informative. Your wisdom, patience, understanding of puppy attachment and both human and dog pack dynamics is phenomenal. Thanks to your support I’m feeling a lot more confident that I won’t make the same early mistakes as last time we had a canine family member. You work in such a compassionate and kind way and impart your wealth of knowledge with humour and in a way that makes the information really easy to understand and incredibly easy to follow and put in place in such a practical and simple way. If only dog training had been this easy first time around, life would have been so much easier! I’m really looking forward to the 1-2-1 puppy session and group sessions. From the bottom of my heart - Thank you for training us to be better puppy parents. ”

- Anna Bloye

“Having now attended 3 seminars and worked on an individual basis with Georgia, I have come to see what a deep understanding of dogs and their natural behaviour she has. This together with her approach and ability to explain the techniques she uses has been invaluable to me in learning to understand my Bull Mastiff (Vinnie) and re-educate both myself and Vinnie, enabling us to form a stronger bond and mutual trust so that we can encounter the world together with a positive, calm attitude.”

- Eileen

“Not only is Georgia a lovely kind soul, but her connection with dogs is unbelievable, she is so full of knowledge and is very patient and totally inspiring, we are in the process of socialising our dog, and have seen a major difference in him, albeit we still have a way to go. I would recommend anyone contacting Georgia for advice, ontraining or any issues you may have with your dog, as Georgia does talk dog! And helps us understand them on their level ”

- Nina Martin

“We have 2 Samoyeds, Dexter is nearly 10 but has had lots of health issues throughout his life and lives with chronic pain. Skye was found living on the streets in Ireland at about 10 months, she has lived with us for 2 years and has always been quite anxious. Thank you Georgia InnerWolf and for sharing all of your wisdom, you are truly inspirational and have made me view Dexter and Skye so differently. Skye has come such a long way from her traumatic early life and I hadn’t fully appreciated how much Dexter’s various health problems had impacted on him. I really feel that I will be able to help them both move forward now with the techniques you have shared. Thank you a truly wonderful experience xx”

- Lisa Stilwell

“I took my puppy to Georgia for puppy classes and again when I was having trouble with him pulling on walks and she is AMAZING. I understand him so much better since working with Georgia and her wonderful pack. I'm certain that he is a happier dog because of her input. I couldn't be happier with the training WE have both received and would definitely recommend her.”

- Kelly Archer

“Georgia's approach and techniques really helped our situation with our springer spaniel Jack. What she taught us gave us a deeper understanding of his world so we were able to help him and build a better more respectful relationship with him, which dog training and agility classes never did. Would recommend Georgia and her techniques to anyone who owns a dog with or without problems, though especially with behavioral issues, she shines a light on these complex social animals and us as humans. ”

- Julie

“Georgia is amazing, the difference in our two dogs within the first hour is amazing, although we are aware it’s a slow process but I now know why my dogs do what they do. Georgia genuinely care about dogs and her knowledge is amazing, she is always there for you if you need her, I can’t recommend here highly enough.”

- Debbie Dalziel

“I was recently recommended to Georgia by Wanderers Animal Haven when discussing my endless plight to try and help my long suffering dog lailah. After seeing several dog trainers who just didn't seem able to help I'd almost given up hope. Georgias approach is refreshing and believable. Everything now makes sense, her attitude and love towards truly helping and teaching me to understand the actions and reasons towards lailahs extreme anxiety and what I thought was aggression gives me confidence and support. In only 4 weeks I can already see changes, our bond is getting stronger and she is much more responsive with me. I have no doubt we will continue to find more balance and help heal any traumas she has experienced in her vital growing period. Georgia truly is one of life's Angels, healing not only lailah but me too ❤️. I hope we remain friends for many years to come, big respect! ”

- Mandy Flynn

“I contacted Georgia for help with my 15 month old greyhound, having had 6 greyhounds previously I have never encountered one with severe destructive behaviour/separation anxiety before, After an initial assessment lasting approx 3 hours we returned home armed with the calming techniques and info required to help our boy become the well adjusted greyhound I had hoped he could be. After the initial assessment Georgia is on hand for any ongoing support you may need, on one occasion I was having a bad day and when I messaged her she was round in 30 minutes to sort me out ! She is so passionate about her subject its infectious. I recently attended a day long seminar with her learning about dog behaviour and the different identities within a pack which I would thoroughly recommend, even if you have no issues with your dog. Im so grateful to have found her.”

- jan

“I recently attended the Natural Dog Communication seminar hosted by Georgia and found her approach to dogs absolutely amazing and a real breath of fresh air. This is a lady who really cares. The whole day was a revelation and I cant wait to attend other events she has in the future. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who needs help with their dog.”

- Jane

“I was recommended to Georgia via a Facebook page. I was having trouble with my 11 month old huskamute Loki. He was showing signs of aggression towards smaller dogs and was unable to calm himself down, this was making our walks with him more of a burden than an enjoyment. Georgia was brilliant from the first contact via phone. We met Georgia and was made to feel so comfortable straight away. The love for what she does just shines through and the knowledge that she has about a dogs behaviour and there natural instincts is amazing and a complete eye opener. We came away with so much more understanding about our Loki and also a deeper knowledge of knowing how to care for him and build a better and stronger bond with him. He is now trusting us as leaders and being able to calm himself down which was something that he was unable to do before. Georgia has also sent us paper work to go through and keep as it is a lot to take in and learn in one day. I though this was brilliant as we always go back over it and check if there are things we are doing right or wrong. I can’t wait to meet again with Georgia and show her the results of her work. I would highly recommend Georgia at The Inner Wolf Dog Education Centre. ”

- Jacque

“We were very impressed by the enthusiasm and passion demonstrated by Georgia. Clearly this is a vocation for her and to be in the company of somebody who is so passionate was inspiring. But - in addition to this - Georgia demonstrated a deep knowledge in helping dogs and their owners form a deeper bond and, while her approach is very original, it does make complete sense when she explains why she approaches things the way she does. A unique experience - but one that has already started to show positive results after only a few days. ”

- Rachael and Steve

“Georgia was and continues to be an amazing support, andy and I went to Georgia with our 2 dogs Bailey and Mimi, Mimi was having issues with toilet training. We was made to feel welcome immediately and Since seeing Georgia we have 2 different dogs, they are still both following the programme that Georgia designed for us in our report and making great progress and it's so nice not to be continuously mopping up dog pee and poop haha, we now connect with bailey and mimi on such a deeper level now that we have the knowledge that Georgia shared with us, we have learnt so much and without Georgia we probably would of had to give up but she has been amazing and I can't recommend her enough, such a lovely lady that I hope to now take through life as not only our educator but our friend also.”

- Jemma gregory

“I can't thank Georgia enough for the invaluable care, advice, support and hands-on development over the past few weeks for our two Rescue dogs. Our dogs have transformed by the help of the Inner Wolf from wild and unbalanced animals to stable and happy dogs. I myself have learnt more than I thought possible about becoming a leader for my dogs to have trust in. Georgia cares so much about what she does, and her passion shines through in everything she does. She has spent countless hours rehabilitating and generally loving all members of "my pack" ;) It is just the beginning of our journey with Georgia and Jane at the Inner Wolf, but I can not imagine where I would be without them. Huge heart and impressive knowledge. Anything I say could not do the service justice, just outstanding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ”
