Fig Tree Training



Fig Tree Training - Dog Trainer/Behaviourist in Diss, Norfolk

My Name is Vicky Ellis and I have been working as a dog behaviourist and trainer for over 10 years.

I have many years of experience working with dogs in the rescue (as well as public) sectors which has allowed me to develop a great deal of experience and gain a comprehensive knowledge of dogs normal/abnormal behaviours as well as how to rehabilitate and resolve a wide range of complex behavioural/emotional issues including those involving:

Separation Anxiety
Hyperactivity
Attention-Seeking
Destructiveness
Excessive Barking
General Anxiety and Nervousness
Possessiveness
Reactivity towards other dogs and animals, etc
Car Chasing
Recall/Lead Pulling Problems
Aggression (including fear-based aggression towards people/other dogs)
Desensitization sessions (for fears and phobias such as, nail trimming, etc)

The methods I utilise in modifying, managing and resolving dogs behaviour are individually tailored and involve a combination of positive reward-based training, structured leadership and complimentary/supportive therapies. These methods help to overcome or resolve a dog's problematic behavioural issues through understanding, trust, respect and consistant guidance and leadership and covers all aspects of canine behavioural rehabilitation, socialisation, confidence building and basic obedience training in a kind, positive and humane way that ultimately aims to restore balance and harmony to the dog/human relationship.

I serve the Norfolk and Suffolk areas (within a 20 -25 mile radius of Wymondham/Long Stratton).

Alongside freelance behaviour work, I have worked with dogs in rescue centres for many years and  have also previously worked in a veterinary practice where I ran residential training courses and group puppy classes.

Reviews

“Vicky came to help us with our rescue dog Nelson and was amazing. She was so helpful and informative and the excercises she taught us have already helped with Nelsons’s behaviour! We will be recommending Vicky to all of our friends and would definitely use her again if our dog requires any further training! Fantastic service thank you! ”
