Testimonials
Flurina is a 1st class communicator and excellent at reading dogs behaviour to make sure they know what instructions translate to behaviour. I have a very lively and energetic Border Terrier called Earl who did not listen or come back when called - in just 3 sessions he had amazing recall and much better behaviour including listening to No, Down and Come Here which we decided on. Training does not involve greedy dogs getting food. 5* Highly recommended.
Flurina was incredible at making me feel at ease & understanding what I was looking for. She wasn’t scared to try new things that were more suited for my dog. I loved the fact that we could just go for what felt like a normal dog walk but incorporate training into it too. Would highly recommended.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Flurina!
She was such a massive help with our 11 year old dachshund to get him adjusting to home life with our newborn!
After her visit, things quickly calmed down and we were back to a calm home environment! Thank you!!!

Every dog is different. If the goal is to find a solution to a behavioural problem, the first element of that solution is to find the right help. In our case, I'd tried four previous trainers before I was introduced to Canine Sense. For my sake and for my dog's, I'm truly thankful that we were. My rescue dog's behaviour towards other dogs was beyond my (>30 years') experience and understanding, and was having a wide-reaching impact on our lives. Flurina has given me insights into my dog's nature and temperament, and has taught us both strategies for successful interaction with other dogs. I am just starting to have confidence again on walks, and it is so lovely to be able to stop and chat to other dog owners, rather than diving into a ditch (not quite) or taking a different route to avoid interaction.
Online reviews often feature hyperbole; I can honestly say, however, that I'd recommend Flurina to any dog owner facing difficulties with their dog's behaviour.

I can’t recommend Flurina from Canine Sense highly enough! After bringing home our newborn, I was really struggling to balance everything, and my miniature dachshund Teddy was clearly having a hard time too. He was barking excessively, not following commands, and struggling to adapt to having a baby in the house.
From the very beginning, Flurina was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. She didn’t just train Teddy — she trained me as his human too. She helped me understand his behavior, taught me how to communicate with him more clearly, and gave me practical, realistic tools that actually worked, even during the exhausting newborn phase.
Thanks to Flurina’s guidance, Teddy is calmer, more responsive, and so much better adjusted to our new family dynamic. The difference has been night and day. I’m so grateful to have found Canine Sense and for Flurina’s support during such a vulnerable time. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands both dogs and their humans, I couldn’t recommend her more. 🐾💛

Flurina was wonderful with my rescue galgo. He had terrible reactivity and was a nightmare to walk on the lead and could never be let off the lead with other dogs around. After only a handful of sessions, he is now walking very well on the lead and can even be let off the lead in public spaces. He is a much happier dog for it and even gets chances to play with other dogs 🙂 thank you so much Flurina!
We have been doing the City Paws sessions with our German Shepherd who was quite nervous in shops, lifts and in busy crowded areas.
With Flurina’s help, we are now able to take our pup into town on busy weekends and she walks by my side in shops and lifts with no issues! Flurina’s sessions are so valuable and helpful!

@canine_sense Thank you Flurina for helping us to turn Remy into the wonderful family dog he is today. We came to you 3 months ago, struggling with 15 week old Remy as his second owners. As a large puppy, unvaccinated and untrained, we were struggling to integrate him into our home. Toilet training issues, dominant behaviour, excessive pulling and a LOT of nipping 🙈. You came highly recommended and rightly so, you helped us turn it round when we were feeling hopeless. Educating us as much as him, your guidance and support have given us confidence and pleasure together. We are so glad we placed our trust in you and can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend 👍.
