Testimonial

”Alex is our 8 year old foster son; He has various additional needs, including cerebral palsy, dyspraxia, and incredibly low self-esteem. Alex was especially fearful of dogs, often cowering away and becoming very distressed when they came into his orbit.

We initially consulted with Tracey whom we instantly connected with and felt would be understanding of Alex’s complex needs. At her recommendation, Alex was first introduced to Lola at our home, as this is where Alex feels most at ease.

The initial meeting (as with all subsequent ones) was carried out in a very controlled, calm and non-threatening manner, where all interaction was totally on Alex’s terms. Within the first hour his body language towards Lola was changing, and within a very short time he asked if we could take her for a walk – we seriously couldn’t believe that such dramatic progress was being made within Alex quite so quickly.

So far we have spent around 5 hours with Tracey and Lola and Alex now regards dogs with a healthy, tentative respect, rather than being consumed by an overwhelming fear. This is life changing stuff for what was once a very frightened little boy and I really can’t recommend them highly enough.”
