My dog had aggression issues towards dogs visiting our home. Thanks to Renee sharing her knowledge and educating me, I’m writing this review sitting in a kitchen with my calm dog and 3 visiting dogs! Learning from Renee has been brilliant. She gave me so much more information with regard to dog behaviour and their body language. Introducing me to enrichment and it’s benefits to the dog's overall well-being both mentally & physically. I feel I understand him more. We’re all a lot more relaxed! It's changed him of course, but its also changed me as a person. I can't believe how much has changed in such a short period of time.

Renee has been fantastic support for us and our cockapoo, and her virtual training sessions have been extremely valuable and effective! I would happily recommend her to anyone who wants to use positive reinforcement to have a happier and more fulfilled pup!

We would like to say a massive thank you to Renee for all the hard work she has put into Alfie. He has done really well under her guidance. In the beginning her was like a shopping trolley, all over the place, now he is a Rolls Royce. lol We would recommend Renee every time! Thanks!

I can’t say enough good things about Renee. Being a single dog guardian can be tough, but her constant guidance, support (therapy sessions for me lol) & training tips really helped to set my puppy up for success. I couldn’t be happier with my pup & she is growing into the well-rounded, socialized dog I’ve always wanted & I couldn’t have done it without Renee!

Renee at R+Plus Dogs is a truly awesome dog trainer and behaviourist. One of the things that drew me to her work was her dedication to keeping up to date with modern scientific training methods. She puts a huge amount of work into sharing a lot of free content on her instagram and the Doglogical podcast is also a great resource. Owning a Belgian Shepherd can sometimes be challenging as others often try to say that they need specific training methods usually involving punishment. My dog was frightened of her harness and whilst I had some dog training skills I felt I needed extra help and un-biased outside eye. Renee was super understanding and gave me a number of different strategies to help with de-sensitising her to her harness. No breed needs a heavy hand and my dog is proof of that. Don't let virtual training put you off, I found it just as good as in-person training and infinitely easier to fit in around my busy schedule. Renee also followed up weeks after our last session to see how we were going and she has offered advice and additional help beyond my expectations.

Renee has been a brilliant mentor for us. She helped us find a balance with our adolescent dog by sharing her expertise and non-judgemental input about any concerns we had and she gave us the tools we needed to help us and our dog cope in the post-lockdown world. As well as a very knowledgable, kind and experienced dog trainer, she gave us the mental support one needs when dealing with the humps and bumps of anxious and 'reactive' dogs. This was our second time working with Renee (we previously did the ace to adolescent course) and we are glad we chose her again to work together in more depth. Thank you, Renee!
