OUR STORY
We rescued our dog at 9 months old without fully understanding his problems.
He had allergies to just about everything which took a few months to work out,
which did delay some of his training requirements.
However, through a Balanced Training approach, using Calm Consistent Leadership,
with lots of Dedication, and in fully understanding his breed and temperament,
we now have a loving, obedient, family loving dog

Sarah & Marley
“As first time dog owners we rescued our Labrador, Marley at the age of 18 months old, he had unfortunately not had the puppy training required to give him the best start in life. He was extremely pully on the lead to the point of injury & he was also reactive to everything. We had a few sessions with a trainer whom had provider us with advice on using restrictive equipment to apparently stop these behaviours, but as we found after 18 months, once the equipment was removed we were back to square one. Thankfully I found a need to lead & after 2 sessions with Tara & Neil they have provided us with the tools, confidence & understanding of how to finally achieve loose leash walking with our Marley who will be 4 in a few months. They were patient, calm & understanding with us & Marley. They broke everything down into simple terms for us & helped us to understand our behaviours too. We know it will take time & perseverance but we can now finally see light at the end & will be using them again for support with socialisation next. We finally have hope for the future & thats thanks to thank both.
Would highly recommend."
Gemma , Monty & Jasper
"From the initial telephone conversation I felt at ease with Tara so immediately engaged in the 6 week puppy training course with our Sprocker Spaniels Jasper and Monty.
The advice, training guides and support Tara provided was invaluable. Our 1-2-1 sessions worked perfectly but Tara also provided some training activities that the rest of the family could get involved in too which was great.
I'm very lucky as the training continues for the puppies when they have their daily walks with Tara so everything they have been taught is reinforced. The pack socialisation walks are an absolute hit as it has allowed the puppies to meet and interact with other dogs and gives them the level of exercise they need
I would highly recommend A Need To Lead and the services provided. Jasper and Monty have a fab time and I know that Tara cares for them as if they are their own."
Kim & Milo
“From my initial phone conversation, Tara was able to come and visit me and my bully Milo within a few days. We were then booked in for our 1:1 session a few days later. With the right tools, we had Milo heel walking within days, which was very much needed considering his size. Tara came up with the perfect training plan for us to help Milo become calm and less excitable.
With learnt techniques, Milo has stopped jumping up 99% of the Time, the other 1% is people encouraging him. We are also working on leave it, stay, wait and his impulse control.
I can't thank Tara enough for giving me the confidence to be the right person for Milo. 100% recommend..”
