Excellent advice from Laura regarding our dog’s ongoing issue with our cat. This was my second appointment with Laura who is so easy to talk to. Her suggestions for future management with our dog are easy to incorporate into his routine and it’ll be interesting to see how his behaviour with our cat develops. Thank you Laura!

I had a one to one session with Holly Leake regarding my dogs reactvity. I found the session very informative and truly felt like i learnt something new about what to look for in my dog going forward. I will definitely recommend this service to anyone to learn about your dog.

Deborah was so helpful, reassuring, non judgmental and listened to our worries, giving us time to explain and explore the situation we’re in. So grateful to have her expertise, wisdom and kindness at this time. Thank you 🙏

I had a nutritional consultation with Lauren. She was brilliant. Lots of relevant questions were asked, she answered all of my questions, gave my a lot of useful tips/information. After the call I felt really confident in helping my dog get to his best weight, what that would be and how to get there in a healthy way for him. 10/10 would recommend this service.

Had our second appointment yesterday with Laura Blackledge-Smith and couldn't wait to tell her how much progress we'd made in such a short period of time. She was extremely knowledgeable on dogs carry trauma and her suggestions worked within 2 days. My dogs are back to living in harmony.

I loved how easy it was to book, the fact I could do it all from home as I can't travel. Although it's a free service with my Waggle insurance, it's definitely a service I would recommend to all my friends

Holly has been fantastic helping us with our reactive puppy. Her advice is practical, easy-to-follow and she's very easy to talk to. Her notes and diagrams that follow after each session have been a huge help too.
Really appreciate having this resource through our Waggel insurance policy.

Spoke to Laura avout some issues I'm having with my dog, she was very thorough and offered up some great ideas. Very happy this is included with my Waggel policy!

Junior is an understanding and experienced behaviourist who is easy to share concerns and problems with, to then talk through the best solution for our puppy. He definitely deserves all five stars, helping us understand our dog’s viewpoint without judgement, and following up with a lot of information we really needed.

We've had a few sessions now with Debbie and she's been incredibly helpful and reassuring. We felt a bit overwhelmed as our dog started to become more anxious and reactive and not knowing how to support her best. We've got clear strategies now and are starting to see improvements. Great to have the support through Waggel insurance provision.

Thank you for your help its nice to get this service from my pet insurance through waggel its just stress relief in one place like to say abig thank yoy to Debra for listening to my concern and worries and I also like to say sorry for talking to much but u still listen

Having a few niggles with my rescue lab/staffy cross . It’s nice to have support of a behaviourist through waggle pet insurance. Given tips and ideas to prevent any further worries that we have had .

Brilliant support from Laura, who was lovely and took her time to understand the issues with my 2 dogs, reacting to each other. She gave lots of tips to remedy the situation and they worked so quickly that I didnt need to do a follow-up, as we had thought woukd be needed. Highly-recommended!

We’ve been working with Holly for over a year now with various behaviour issues in our 18 month old cockapoo. She’s been amazing and we can’t thank her enough for the support she has given us over this time. We access CAW through our Waggel insurance and it’s been a god send.

Lovely to deal with and great practical advise. Starting to put the suggestions into effect and hopefully, will see positive results soon!

We have been struggling with resource guarding with our Boxer and we're at a loss on how to help our pup. Firstly I was impressed that Waggle provided access to Behaviourists and I booked my first session with Junior and came away very impressed with his knowledge. Its early days but the suggestions were easy to put in to practice and I'm looking forward to our second session next week.

Junior is always really helpful, empathic and knowledgeable. I always feel reassured and supported and I have a lovely relationship with my dog as a result of the many consultations I have had with him since he was a puppy. He is now 3 years and 8 months old. Thank you Junior!

We spoke with Junior about our Romanian rescue, who we got in December. Only two and frightened of everything especially the tv or any screens, she refused to come out of the kitchen, other than to go in the garden. After 8 weeks we were desperate, Junior explained why our approach of trying to call and coax her out wasn't working. He gave us excellent advice which started working straight away. A couple of weeks later my scared rescue is sitting on the sofa next to me looking at the TV and relaxed. A huge breakthrough for her which wouldn't have happened without the in depth and knowledgeable advice we received, thank you.

Junior has been supporting me and my stubborn dachshund Pickle for a few years now. He helped me navigate my way though bitey puppyhood, crazed teenage years and tempestuous adulthood of my beloved dog. Everything he ever asked me to do worked. He was the one who validated my worries about my dogs allergies, helped me find out what was wrong when vets just dismissed me. Junior made me feel like I was not wrong for continuously seeking the solution. Result? My dog is still stubborn, yes, but he is calmer, healthier and happier than he's ever been before. And I understand his needs and his communication so much better, thanks to Junior. If you need help with your pets, you will not find a better option than Companion Animal Wellness.

We've been getting help from Junior Hudson for many years now, covering all aspects of behaviour and nutrition. He has a lot of knowledge that even my vets don't have, and he always comes from a place of compassion to enable me to understand how to be a better communicator and advocate for my dog. As my dog is getting older, it is increasingly important for me to provide better nutritional care for him, and I'm lucky to benefit from Junior's incredible depth of knowledge on all the relevant topics. Sometimes when I'm angry about my dog going against my instructions, Junior helps me understand my dog's world view from his canine perspective better. Overall Junior is an incredible behaviourist and canine health advocate.

We’ve been having regular behaviour sessions with Holly through Companion Animal Wellness since August 2025, and she’s been absolutely wonderful. After trying several behaviourists and trainers to help with our dachshund’s nighttime anxiety, Holly was the first person who really listened and explained everything clearly and scientifically. Her patience and understanding made such a difference. After a few months, our dog finally started sleeping through the night - and so did we! We’re now able to focus on other areas of training and are so grateful for Holly’s support.
