When our two dogs started to fight, we turned to Megan for help. Megan used her extensive knowledge of dog behaviour to help us to understand how our boys were reacting to situations. Megan provided very professional help and loads of information to help us understand and correct the issues we faced. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing help.

20/03/2024I would totally recommend Meg at Pro-Positive as she's professionally trained and very good at understanding pets and their owners and why certain behaviours can develop. She was fab at helping us with our rescue who had antisocial behaviour issues and she helped and supported us to change the way we were doing things which made a massive difference. Thanks Meg, you're a star.

20/02/2023I want to give a special thanks to Megan for the advice in which she gave for our dog Tilly. We've had problems when it came to walking her as she was being a little aggressive towards other dogs. Megan advised us to view the behaviour differently and to try and give her a treat the moment she sees another dog before she had time to react, so we followed this advice and it worked like absolute magic. Absolutely made up with the result and can't thank Megan enough! Highly recommend

Highly recommend! Our dog was struggling with separation anxiety. We really appreciated the time Meg took to sit down with us and talk through the positive changes we needed to make to support our pup! She was very kind and professional and the dog loved her too! Thanks Meg!

20/02/2023Megan helped us enormously with our dachshund. She supplied many solutions to help her overcome her anxiety around walks. We now understand how to address these concerns and deal with situations where she meets other dogs and encounters sudden noises or events. We feel more confident and walk her more easily. Megan’s approach is thorough and professional. Besides addressing the issue of walks, she investigated our dog's anxiety in the home and improved many aspects of her daily life. We have learnt to manage her reactions to external disturbances, reduce barking and improve her separation anxiety. The level of detail supplied in the form of reports and training manuals is impressive and we have much to refer to should we need reminders. I wholeheartedly recommend Megan and Second Nature Behaviour. Thanks very much!

30/01/2025I was quite anxious about getting a new puppy but with Megan’s advice and guidance the new addition has settled in brilliantly. Meg provided constructive, easy to follow advice and supplied me with a wealth of material to continue the process of training my dog. If you’re looking for someone with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I can’t recommend Megan enough, she’s a star!

Supportive, efficient, effective, non judgemental and very professional. Highly recommended Dog behaviorist for all breeds and situations. If I could add more stars, I would. Meg is extremely well versed in dog behavior and works in an ethical way that you won't find from other local trainers. You will learn so many new things from her and she will change your mind about how to care for your pet.

20/02/2024I found Megan to be extremely knowledgeable but approachable and friendly. Giving good advice followed up with data sheets and a written report. There is a large age gap between my dogs, and I was looking for support in helping them to settle and bond. Although I'd had a multiple dog household before, this was a new scenario and I wanted someone who worked on the positive/reward aspect of training and behaviour.
