“Jo’s fantastic. Our youngest had severe reactivity around other dogs on a leash-walk, but she’s completely changed the way we control the situations and ultimately changed the relationship we have with our dogs. Gone are the days of frustration and getting annoyed/embarrassed if my dog ‘feral barks’ in public. It’s only been a month since we started the behaviour course, and there’s been HUGE improvements! I no longer see walks as a grueling mission to avoid places where other dogs may be, or new places to explore in case something bad happens, but instead I see them as opportunities to train both of my dogs and have lots of fun! were going through absolutely blew us away, and she’s made our dog’s life so much happier. I cannot recommend Jo highly enough if you need help. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

Did you know….
Approximately 80% of dog behaviour cases have some kind of underlying pain or discomfort at the heart of their issues.
Pain can not always be identified in a veterinary environment fear and even excitement can mask pain.
Contact me to discuss the Dynamic Dog Assessment.
Many dog’s behaviour problems can stem from underlying health problems – even dogs who pull on lead or will not recall can sometimes be due to something physical going on beneath the surface.
A high percentage of cases I see, whether its dogs showing fear, restlessness or who are growling, snapping or biting in various scenarios, have had something physical going on. Things like neck injuries, joint pain, back pain, pulled muscles and gut issues are just a few of the problems I have identified alongside a behaviour modification programme.
A recent study by Lincoln university suggests a high percentage of dogs have pain related behaviour problems.
In addition to the behaviour and training packages at no extra cost, I can provide a Dynamic Dog Assessment to investigate whether pain is playing a part in your dog’s behaviour issues. This service is also available as a standalone service.
How does a dynamic dog assessment work?
Using a wide range of techniques I assess your dogs comfort levels, providing observations to help assist veterinary professionals in identifying areas that may be causing pain or discomfort contributing to your dog behaviour.
I have worked with many dogs that have been examined by a vet but did not show any signs of pain during the exam – however after a full Dynamic Dog Assessment, were found to have health problems contributing to their behaviour.

MEET BUDDY
Chihuahua x Maltese
Buddy the Maltese x Chihuahua was a very interesting behaviour case of mine, who presented with behaviours like:
- following owners around
- jumping up constantly and whining
- separation related issues
- insomnia waking multiple times at night
- poor appetite
- wired all the time
- frantic on walks
- could not rest unless on someone
He was a very spritely fella and incredibly sociable with everything, very active and loved to play lots to the untrained eye, you wouldn’t have suspected he was in pain.
After doing the initial behaviour consultation I then carried out a complete dynamic dog assessment for Buddy.
The vets reviewed my video evidence and report and agreed further investigation was necessary. After CT scans and later a brain scan he was found to have his left shoulder luxated with the humeral head medial to the glenoid (socket portion) and the proximal humerus and glenoid were abnormally formed and did not fit together.
Basically Buddy had a dislocated shoulder which needed repairing with a metal plate, but sadly this had to be put on hold due to a more pressing issue…
Buddy had lost the sight in his left eye and after a brain scan he was found to have inflammation of the brain and small holes in it. He was diagnosed with Necrotising meningeo-encephalitis very common in the two breeds he was crossed with.
Unwanted behaviours in dogs are not always what they first appear, it’s vital we look at every aspect of a dog’s life they are always telling us something.

Lola Cockapoo
Jo has been amazing with our Cockapoo Lola with Resource Guarding and general behaviour problems. I would recommend Jo to anyone. We are new Dog owners and Jo has helped us with so many hurdles we faced. We will keep working on the training with confidence. Jo has kept in contact throughout the training.

Twix & Rolo Dachshunds
I originally contacted Jo on the 3rd August 2022 – I must admit I was in despair and messaged many behaviourist, most replied to say sorry about my situation and told me their costs – some didnt even reply. Not Jo, she was different from the start. She replied to my long message in less than 45 minutes. She sent me loads of advice, 4 YouTube videos and offered me a free 15 minute phone call – we spoke on the 8th August – we ended up speaking for just short of 45 minutes. I knew she was the answer to helping us help my dogs. Jo was thorough with training and ensuring we understood. Jo has the patience of a Saint! We chose package 2, which is a total of 4 hours but Jo always gave us extra time each session, which we really appreciated as it made us feel valued. Jo was only ever a message away between every session and we felt very supported. Even since our last session on the 17th November, Jo is always there.
I believe Behaviourists are not the solution to fix your dog but they are the key to teaching you to successfully train your dog and Jo was definitely our key to helping our girls.
Thank you so much Jo. We highly recommend Jo Hinds!

Oscar Working Cocker
Jo has been great from the moment we contacted her. She was available between sessions via WhatsApp to answer our questions and guide us and build on the training points. She went above and beyond and conducted a gait analysis on Oscar which discovered the root cause of the behavioural issue; something the vets had never been able to spot.
We are so grateful for her help and support with Oscar and cannot recommend her enough (in fact we have already recommended her to friends).
